After two beautiful days my wife, daughter and I decided to watch the City&#8217;s fireworks from our daughter&#8217;s back porch. We all climbed up the pitched roof until we cleared the tree line. A fantastical panorama of Superior and Duluth spread out before us. We watched both City&#8217;s fireworks simultaneously while smaller star bursts exploded all along our horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight LDV met and I&#8217;ve never been at a more productive meeting.
