WTF?!?!?!

I go away from duluth for half a year, and this shit happens?!?! (Scroll down to the end of the article) THE NORSHORE HAS CLOSED! What the shit is this?

Here's the Duluth News Tribune article. Yes, there are other music venues in Duluth. But the Norshore was so... hometown. How could you possibly compare this dusty old relic with that monument to Coporate Hip (Pizza Luce) down the block? And where, oh dear friends, will Duluthians go to see movies that were made without a multi-billion dollar budget? All kidding aside, this seems to leave a gaping hole in the Duluth "scene." And it leaves me with an even greater regret that I'd only just become aware of Duluth music, etc. before I left.
