Iron Range year-enders start pouring in

It’s that special time of year when media vacation schedules collide with a news vacuum to produce year-in-review specials!

From my spot here in the North, here are a few good roundups I saw over the weekend:

The Duluth News Tribune offered its top 10 stories of 2008 on Sunday which include a couple of Iron Range angles. You can kind of see how they were stretching toward the bottom. I remember that from my days in small town newspapering. The first few are easy and then you’re left with zoning issues and the new Arby’s. The DNT covers a big enough area to avoid the most flagrant examples of roundup stretching. Also, the paper offers several 2009 predictions from a “who’s who” of relatively important Duluth-area people. No Rangers on the list. Hey, DNT. I noticed.

The Mesabi Daily News ran a Sunday review of the Iron Range taconite mining business and a status check for other Range mining projects.

The Sunday Hibbing Daily Tribune had an interesting feature on what folks are really doing and talking about on the streets of the Iron Range amid the economic stories in the media.
