Sometimes I can be surprised. This would be one of those times. After thinking that the Two Harbors paper was never going to write anything, they did (Thank you Monica Isely). And then the Duluth paper picked up the story too. Very nice. Here’s the link: “Two Harbors’ last barber closes up shop” Now I will quit talking about this for a while . . . . . . . . Well, I might still have to give an occasional “Jimmy Update” because he’s sort of an interesting guy.
Nice Story

Crow is good!
Mmmmm . . . . . . sometimes I have to eat a little crow, so I’ve decided I might as well like it.
Although I have yet to receive a response to the emails I sent to the Chronicle, I was informed today that Monica Isely interviewed Dad a couple of evenings ago. The story is already published on the Chronicle site. Here’s the link: http://www.twoharborsmn.com/articles/index.cfm?id=17793§ion=homepage
Thank you Monica.
Disappointment
In 1999, I started this site for a couple of reasons; to reconnect with my hometown (I was living far away at the time) and to give people a place to post all sorts of nonsense after the Lake County News Chronicle really clamped down on what they would allow to be posted on their site. (more…)
The last day is near
Jim’s Barber Service will be closing due to retirement on December 31st. I did get my 3 boys in there the other evening for a haircut, so that ought to hold them for a while.
The last barber . . . . . .
Remember way back when? When men went to barber shops and women went to beauty shops? I don’t know that there was anything particularly sexist about it, it was just the way it was. As years have gone by, barbers have become more scarce and “stylists” have become more prevalent. Barbers and stylists all cut hair, but their education and focus are different.
