Simply Superior

Was it our imagination or did President Biden and his entourage visit the University of Wisconsin-Superior’s Yellowjacket Union in March? And did the notorious Can of Worms interstate intersection connecting Duluth and Superior actually come down this year and its rebuild begin in earnest? And did a film crew use numerous Twin Ports locations – complete with fake snow amid trees in full-blown – to shoot a Hulu Christmas movie in June?

Those events really did happen, and “Simply Superior” reviews them and other stories that dominated the regional news in 2022. Duluth News Tribune Executive Editor Rick Lubbers and WPR News Reporter Danielle Kaeding share and compare their Top Ten lists with host Robin Washington, reviewing both local stories and national news that made an impact regionally. Plus, Duluth News Tribune feature writer Melinda Lavine joins Washington to review the area’s top arts news.
