We were proud to join Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce today to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Heirloom Property Management. They also recently completed the renovation of the former Uncle Dunbar’s building downtown.

Heirloom has been actively engaged in making improvements in their block and the community. We look forward to more exciting things to come next year!! Thanks for your investments and pride in Duluth. 🙌

It’s a beautiful fall day in Duluth! Businesses have their doors open to welcome the season and shoppers. 🛍️

Such a fun stop at two of our newer shops in Canal Park. Find thousands of handmade treasures at Duluth Studio Market. Cute pumpkins? Yes please! So many other options from talented artists.

And there is no resisting a sweet treat at Duluth Old Fashioned Candy . Ahh, the memories. Don’t worry, mom’s not watching so go ahead and choose more than one 😉.

Congratulations Sara! Small businesses make up the unique fabric of our downtown. Thank you Frame Corner Gallery for playing a role in that!

Today I’m celebrating 31 amazing years as the proud owner of Frame Corner Gallery! 🎉
I’m incredibly grateful for every customer, friendship, and beautiful piece of artwork I’ve had the privilege of framing along the way. After 31 years, the creativity and the business keeps going strong!
Thank you to everyone who has supported my small business. Here’s to many more years of doing what I love! ❤️🖼️

So thankful for the work of our Clean & Safe Team!

Most of the time, you’ll find them on foot downtown. However, with 90 square blocks, they can also hit more territory efficently with wheels. Whether it’s providing hospitality assistance to visitors or gathering litter and debris from sidewalks, they are true ambassadors for our city.

And, they serve as extra eyes and ears on the street as we continue to work toward further strengthening our downtown and making it safer.

Look for our team members in the bright shirts-they are here to help!
