Jul. 14—SUPERIOR — It was so hard to decide which stories to highlight this week because there are so many to pick from.
Like the one about
a Superior woman who wrote and designed a graphic novel about her sobriety journey.
Or the little girl who
collected and donated more than 600 children's books to Harbor House Crisis Shelters.
And then — since it's the second week of the month —
our latest episode of the Archive Dive podcast dropped: It's all about Superior Central.
Take a look at what else we've been working on:
Keep your eyes peeled at the Downtown Farmers Market on Wednesdays in Superior for
the Page Peddler, Superior Public Library's book bike.
Summer intern Owen Resberg talked to officials at the library about the bike and what they hope to achieve with it.
We've got a few stories on new businesses for you:
* Dung Tran, left, and Nguyet Ho, pictured above with their children,
opened William Asian Food to Go in downtown Superior.
* Tattoo artist Jason Voss, who owns Gitchee Gumee Tattoo in Duluth, opened walk-in tattoo parlor
Sorry Dad Tattoo in downtown Superior.
I love Claire Kopetzky's reaction in this photo. Claire, right, did not catch a 52.25-inch muskie on Lake Superior June 9, but you can tell by the look on her face she is PUMPED for her sister, Olivia, who did.
Reporter John Myers
has more on Olivia's world-class catch.
* The city of Superior is
celebrating 715 Day Saturday, July 15.
* St. Luke's announced
Wednesday, July 12 that it will affiliate with Aspirus Health.
* Local lawmakers spoke to reporter Shelley Nelson
about their thoughts on the Wisconsin budget
that Gov. Tony Evers signed last week.
