Just a day after the city of Duluth experienced unprecedented flooding, Mayor Don Ness is encouraging tourists to visit the city.

On Facebook today, Ness wrote, "Duluth is open for business!!! Please spread the word that it IS safe to travel to Duluth and travel our city streets. Crews have worked diligently over the past 36 hours to blockade those unsafe streets - other streets are safe for travel." 

Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke, who traveled to Duluth Thursday morning for a League of Minnesota Cities meeting, told Patch Thursday afternoon that "the meeting is great and Duluth looks perfect."

He also found time to take some photos of downtown Duluth this afternoon.
