Cory at the quarry
Singer-songwriter Cory Coffman’s “Midnight Callin’” is a tale of where-we-thought-we’d-be versus where-we-are-now. “You were meant to be,” he sings, “the biggest of them all. Even the sun next to you would seem small.” The video for the sweet and wistful song from his 2020 release “Canvas and Color” is set firmly in West Duluth with scenes from some of the neighborhood’s best vistas: train tracks, Denfeld High School, the Superior Hiking Trail, the quarry. Check it out on his YouTube channel.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about “Charlotte’s Web” ends up being Charlotte’s web itself.

Audiences returned to the Depot Theater for the first time in almost a year last Saturday afternoon for the Family Theatre’s charming production of “Charlotte’s Web.”
A narrator (Madeline Watts) sets the stage for the tale of how young Fern Arable (Azalea Mae) saves a newborn pig, the runt of the litter, names him Wilbur, and raises him until he is sold to her Uncle Homer (Chris Ibarra).
