The condition of downtown Two Harbors has been a topic of discussion for many years. Businesses have come and gone. The local economy has come and gone. Generations of us have mostly gone. Mel Sando, the newly annointed Executive Director of the Lake County Historical Society has been making some noise (in a positive way) about our community over the last couple of months. Mel wrote a nice guest editorial in the Lake County News Chronicle (4-15-2010). There is also a Two Harbors Planning Commission that we don’t hear alot about. It would sure be nice if the ideas about improving our community would gain a little traction.
We hear about Grand Marais as a comparison to Two Harbors. The two communities are different in the way they are oriented on their respective pieces of lake shore. Two Harbors won’t be Grand Marais. Something I do notice when I visit Grand Marais though . . . . . the whole downtown area seems clean, neat and inviting. We could use some of that in our own downtown.

Well that shop with the engines and lawn mowers outside is an awful eye sore.
