Always good to have tapes.

What, who, where is this at ?

Commercials at 0:34

Little did the person taking this video know there would be 28k plus watching this video years later lol

Holy crap!!! I used to listen to Chickenman on my mom's tabletop radio when I was a kid growing up in Duluth!! Does anyone remember which radio station played this?

It's pretty hard to forget about chicken man.

Would love to see the drive through town back to the bridge if you have it

Just wanna say thanks Roger for these videos. It's a real treat to have the memories.

Jim's hamburgers, is sadly missed.

It's sad they demolished all those homes. 😢

Gosh, hard to believe way back in 1970 there were vandals starting fires in the city of Duluth.

I enjoy your channel. Would you consider being a guest on a podcast I’ve created about radio in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I live in Texas now but was born and raised in Duluth

Never cash in your Duluth chips. Real estate here is going to be as good as gold!

West Duluth is becoming hot real estate. We just need to build up grand and central avenue with great businesses and then It's off to the races!

Da weathaman

When the “new” Arrowhead Bridge was mentioned at 1:10, I would assume they were talking about the eventual Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge. The existing Arrowhead Bridge was 50 years old in 1977. Groundbreaking for the Bong Bridge started in 1979, while the bridge opened in 1984. The Bong Bridge was originally going to carry on the Arrowhead Bridge name.

Focus your camera

Need more folks like this on the news & shows. The man's got some 'character'. Now I want some KFC!!!

somehow I am reminded of the movie Jaws. don’t ask why

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing this, remember seeing these as a teen in Hayward Wisconsin.

Love these old news and radio clips from my Hometown in Duluth peace ✌ TWISTED BART

When I was young I was terrified when we drove over from superior

I wonder if where Trina lives was there at that time?

Who drove back and forth over the High Bridge depending on A) state drinking age changes (including grandfather clauses) and B) closing times?

Hi I’ve watched several of your videos and forgot if I left a comment or not to thank you. I moved from my home/Duluth many years ago-26 to be exact-but my love for Duluth and the City’s rich history will remain strong forever-especially the strong industrial roots found throughout the city. I drove the streets depicted in your videos daily as I worked on Ramsey St for many years, and even a year of heavy construction during the construction of LSPI Paper Mill. Your before and after the Mill construction videos are wonderfully nostalgic for me to watch; I can’t believe that was 1986! Always a bit of a rail buff but more so a history buff in general and so it’s a bit strange to see all the railroad tracks removed as time moved on, as well the many businesses either gone or changed-Sullys gas Station, Brads barbershop, Kmart, Good Shepherd church closed right? Many summers spent playing basketball at Memorial Park’s outdoor courts. OMG your video going across the Arrowhead bridge was such a treat. I could ramble on n on but know your local West Duluth videos are gratefully appreciated from several thousand miles away. PS if you know of any history links to the Raleigh Neighborhood, docks etc, as I’ve heard that was a bustling community in the day? Again, thanks n cheers, Pat

I was born in 1977 so I was very young when this bridge was still up. However I remember being slightly unnerved even at that age going over it. 😆👍 So awesome that you uploaded this. Thank you!

520 E 4th St Sportsman Barber Shop. I remember that place

So many houses are boarded up or gone now.

06:21 Be kind--Ellen DeGeneres must have stolen her sign-off from this guy!!! Haha

The year of Sgt Pepper. And the radio hosts are already using the phrase “groovy”… The times are changing.

Anyone remember where the bank was?

The change in haircuts in professionals from 1965 to 1975 is incredible. I try not to be so presumptuous, but it seems as if The Beatles really shook up our culture after the 1950s

Love The Beatles, do you recall or have an tapes about the reaction to John Lennon’s assasination? I’d imagine Duluth would have hefty press about it

Yeah they're cleaning up West Duluth and Lincoln Park area it appears as though homeowners are going to get $35,000 to improve their homes which pushes all of the people of color out of the neighborhood because we can no longer afford to live in houses that's right you have condemned the people to death am I kidding no f****** way

Nice u went right by my house 😅

Jack was talking about everybody being busy with their Christmas shopping even though this newscast aired one day before Christmas Eve 1977. Did lots of people do their last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve back in the 1970’s?

Shut up liers that was atlantian record and recording building

Where I first saw it!!

That Super one foods on the right (past the liquor store) is where we get groceries when we stay in Duluth, and we got pizza from Sammy's pizza on the left.

They don't tell the weather forecast as good as this anymore on any of the Duluth TV stations.

Excellent videos! Thank you for uploading!! ✌🏼

Lots of great neighborhoods were forced to vacate and then torn down in Duluth both East and West over that whole decade.

😂 Still laughing!!Good ol Harv kept us in stitches back in the day- Duluth newsreel was a great source of clean entertainment and I sure do miss those days!

Good old Jack was the best! RIP

I would ice skate there back in the day. It was a sad day when this happened especially when concerns had been raised to modify and upkeep this historic building.

I miss those days.. Duluth has changed so much and not for the better - it’s hardly recognizable anymore and I’ve lived here all my life. Yeah those were the good old days.. ✌🏼

The Cove in Superior had the classic sat nite fever lighted dance floor on Tower Ave.

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT NIGHT CLUB ON THE SUPERIOR SIDE OF THE ARROWDEAD BRIDGE ?

WAKX in Duluth 🖖

After listening to this I can easily conclude that Duluth Radio and radio in general has turned to total sh*t!
