Is the Iron Range (or near to it) waking up? [View all]

Last edited Sun Jul 4, 2021, 11:30 PM - Edit history (1)

Saw this on Facebook, purely andectocal of course, but hopeful:

"Just attended the Cloquet (near the iron range) 4th of July parade and had to share... when the Republican float went, it was eerily quiet - not one clap or cheer. Then, the Democrat float went by and our corner of strangers spontaneously erupted in cheers! It was funny, heartwarming and hopeful! "

Couldn't help noticing "...the Democrat float..." dchill Jul 2021 #1

Unfortunately a good many people seem to be picking that term up. dflprincess Jul 2021 #2

Cloquet is not the Range. It has a DFL state rep WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #3

Isn't it very near the Range? dflprincess Jul 2021 #4

Cloquet is just south of the Mesabi Iron Range. pazzyanne Jul 2021 #5

Embarrassing, given I've lived here my whole life dflprincess Jul 2021 #6

Cloquet is about 15 miles southwest of Duluth. It's about 50 miles straight south of Eveleth, WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #7
