Like any patriotic American (insert dripping sarcasm here), I greeted the warm, sunny weather by spending money I didn't necessarily have. Observe:
The DSW in Duluth is as good as any I've seen, including locations in New York City. Go there. Miller Hill Mall. I haven't bought shoes anywhere else since moving to Duluth last summer.
Once I had these little numbers on my feet, I realized I probably needed a manicure. I justified this by telling myself it was only $40 for both pedicure and manicure, and that I hadn't had either in a year. On the recommendation of a kind barista at the Miller Hill Mall Caribou Coffee, I went to Diamond Nails.
Diamond Nails is at 919 W Central Entrance; phone (218) 733-5601. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The prices were reasonable. The mani/pedi wasn't absolutely first-rate, but worth the price. Diamond Nails prefers cash, but will take cards.
The sandals were easier to justify; I realized I had no sandals anymore, other than some very old flip-flops that had cost about $6 new. My feet were roasting in my flats. This had to happen.
Next up: The Anchor Bar in Superior, wherein the server gets graphic with my drink order. Stay tuned.
