‘No One November’ Has Arrived In Duluth’s Lincoln Park Craft District
I saw a post on the Twin Ports Foodies Facebook group from someone who says they work at one of the many restaurants in the Lincoln Park Craft District. They say there is a term for November in the craft district, calling it "No One November." After driving through (or attempting to) this morning, I can see why.
There has been a ton of road construction projects this year in Duluth, as we prepare for the closure of the Blatnik Bridge this winter. Both sides of the bridge have seen major projects ahead of the closure to mitigate traffic backups once it happens.
I was driving on Garfield Avenue this morning, and when I got to Superior Street, there was a flag person stopping traffic. Both ends of the Lincoln Park Craft District are closed, and detours are needed to get to any local business.
Several businesses, like Bent Paddle, have put up signs directing people to their doors. There's also a website that provides updates, a live detour map, and directions for patrons, encouraging people to still come out and support local businesses over the next few years.
Be sure to plan a trip to Lincoln Park and remember to shop small and locally this holiday season. Consider buying gift cards to these businesses for gifts or stocking stuffers!
