My name is Lyndsay Oxley, and I have lived in the District at Duluth for about three years now. If you recognize my name and face, it is probably because you've seen me around Parson's Alley at Good Word Brewing. I am there every weekend serving tables. During the week, I am an ESOL teacher at Radloff Middle School. I love everything about Duluth from the diversity, great food and drinks, to the warming culture. I hope that I can continue to keep you reading every day, and if you enjoy reading be sure to tell your friends!
