Good morning, Duluth.

Arya, an independent film featuring actors from Brooklyn 99 and Delhi Crime, is filming in Duluth today and uses local spots (Mr. D’s and Kom-On-Inn) to add authenticity.

Director Neil Tuli leads a crew mostly made up of locals who are bringing a cross-cultural story to life.

Fuel prices in Duluth are rising as regular unleaded averages $4.39 a gallon and diesel is about $6.33, with prices varying up to 30 cents in nearby areas; analysts point to international tensions and refinery outages as key factors.

The Superior National Forest will begin controlled burns this fall to trim overgrown vegetation + lower wildfire risk.

Pending approval and weather conditions, firefighters plan to start burns this week in the Gunflint and Tofte Ranger Districts and continue operations through December on over 2,100 acres.

Google presented an updated plan at Hermantown City Council on Monday showing the proposed data center will reduce wetlands impact by 37% and limit noise to 47 decibels (about as loud as an old refrigerator), while local activists join a rally in Minneapolis today to oppose the project.
