Twin Ports entertainment for $10 or less By Melinda Lavine mlavine@duluthnews.com
W
hether it’s ax-throwing or hitting the roller rink, there’s promising entertainment for pennypinchers in the Twin Ports. Here’s a glimpse of things to do for 10 bucks or less.
Get axed (not really)
For the Paul Bunyan or Gimli inclined, there’s competitive ax-throwing in downtown Duluth. Ten bucks gets you 30 minutes whipping an ax over your head at a wooden target at Blacklist Artisan Ales. (One hour is $18 per person.) Equipment is provided, as is training on how to throw, score — and how to do it all safely. If you’re younger than 18, you need a guardian, and waivers are signed beforehand. They recommend booking a time slot, and keep those tootsies intact — no open-toe shoes. ► Blacklist Artisan Ales,
120 E Superior St. More info: blacklistbrewco.com
A scoop and a stroll
At the The Portland Malt Shoppe, you can have your view and eat it, too. Located at 716 E. Superior St., it overlooks Lake Superior, and you can grab a scoop, float or banana sundae for less than $8. From the malt shoppe, it’s just a few feet to a Lakewalk entrance, where you can stroll the shore, ship-watch and let the sugar and sounds of the waves lull you to bliss. Good for group dates, regular dates and flying solo. Highly recommended at dusk. ► Portland Malt Shoppe, 716 E. Superior St. Open for the season until Oct. 21.

Late-night laughs
In the vein of Upright Citizens Brigade, Duluth improvisers team up in a spontaneous, fast-paced game of make-the-audience-laughthe-hardest. It’s $6 at the
door and spoiler: Everybody wins. Catch shows at 10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at Teatro Zuccone. Good for definite, consistent laughs and maybeembarrassing moments with your folks. ► Teatro Zuccone, 222 E Superior St. More info: zeitgeistarts.com/ renegade/#improv
Grab your skates
If you’re in for a junior high throwback or you wanna bone up for the hockey rink, hit up the World of Wheels Skate Center in Superior. If you BYO-skates, the cost is $6.50$8 for admission. Flash your college ID from 7:30-10 p.m. Wednesdays for the lower rate. Rent skates for $3 and blades for $4.50. Good for groups, laughs and side ponies. ► World of Wheels Skate Center, 1218 Oakes Ave, Superior. More info: wowskatecenter.com
