Good morning, neighbors! Patch apologizes that the Duluth Daily has been absent from your inbox over the past few days. After a slight change, we are back in action! My name is Kayla Harrison and I will be taking over as your temporary source for everything happening around town. Special thanks to Lyndsay for her great work on the Duluth Daily!
First, today's weather:
A couple of afternoon showers. High: 50 Low: 21.
Here are the top three stories in Duluth today:
