"Robin Goodfellow"-A New Business Adventure in DuluthBy Russ Stewart
In May, I'll be joining the Duluth business community by opening my
own store in Duluth's Old Downtown. Named after the sprightly
trickster in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Robin
Goodfellow will be a store that rivals the play for good-spirited
mischief. The store will stock books, games, and comics.
The main surprise for most people seems to be that I'm starting a
business at all. After having been labeled "anti-business," I'm sure
my current plans have some people wondering. The answer is simply
this: Business and progressive politics need not be at odds. That is
one message that I have been working to get across during my first two
years on the Duluth City Council.
Look for Robin Goodfellow this spring at 23 South Lake Avenue. And if
you have any friendly advice for a new businessman, please let me
know!
