Photo of the week

Since we have officially arrived at the dog days of summer, it seemed a dog quote is appropriate. While there are many, this is one of the best, and it perfectly encapsulates the surrealistic humor of everyone’s favorite Marxist. A biting message prompted by Ivanka Trump’s Aug. 27 visit to Duluth Pack in Canal Park. This message references The Pledge to America’s Workers that Duluth Pack owners Duluth Pack’s Mark Oestreich and Tom Sega signed. This creative display was across the street from the business during the Trump entourage’s blitzkrieg visit. Photo by Richard Thomas
