Leif Erikson Park

The Duluth Fire Department is asking the public for help with any information they might have about who or whom set 3 different trees on Fire in Leif Erickson Park on Tuesday night.

Over the weekend, somebody spray painted over some of the wording on Duluth's Leif Erickson statue.

Yesterday morning, when Officer Ron Tinsley from the Duluth Police Department was in studio for Ask a Cop, we discussed the ongoing craze of Pokemon Go and rules about Duluth area parks and the general curfew that the city enforces.

I hate to admit that I had lived in Duluth for years before I ever ventured down into Leif Erickson Park with the beautiful giant bandshell and lake views, now throw in a movie? Yes please.

If you happened to see the iconic Leif Erickson Viking Ship on the streets of Duluth yesterday, it was all part of a well-orchestrated plan to move the ship for repairs.  With a big help from Viant Crane, it has been put away in storage and will eventually sail off again to a different location, one more visible and sheltered from the environment.

If you happen to see a ship rolling down the streets of Duluth this week, don't worry. You haven't accidentally followed your GPS into Lake Superior. The Leif Erickson Viking Ship located in Leif Erickson Park will be relocated on Thursday, July 11. The project goal is to move the ship so it can be repaired and exhibited in a permanent and more-visible public site.

For any parent who has lost a child, it is a pain that will never fade, but now thanks to the hard work of a few dedicated people these parents now have a place to mourn and remember.
