Superior WI and Duluth MN

Just passing through -

[@christopherhunt3950]

I love this place. We always stop at the Perkins on the lake, to have breakfast on the way to our fishing trips, to Minnesota. It’s a very different climate and culture from Kentucky. The people here are super friendly and love the terrain, of northern WI and MN. It’s always a blessing to go on that trip, some of the best memories with my dad have been here. I can’t wait to go back.

[@christopherreiff3192]

I love Superior too

The last time my wife, I and our two children visited from our home in the Milwaukee area was in the spring of 10'. Our daughter was 15 and our son was 12. My mother's relatives were from from Duluth. She and her two sisters were born and raised in Duluth in the early 1900's. All three became teachers, one at Ordean Jr high, one was a professor of art education in the New York University system and my mother taught grade school music in suburban Milwaukee and was minister of music at a 2,400 member Methodist Church in the 50-60's in charge of six choirs of which she conducted the 100 voiced chancel choir. Coming up up since we were young kids was always rather exotic. The Duluth hills, canal and lift bridge, Park Point, Skyline Dr., Enger Tower, Grandma's, the Lake Superior shoreline water front walk, Fitger's etc. Our kids also enjoyed visiting as they grew up. When I was a child I liked falling asleep hearing the fog horns at night from my aunt and uncle's home up the hill of east 34th street from Glensheen (known as the Congdon Estate back then). My cousin went out with one of the Congdon boys while in high-school during the 50's. Fond memories.....

That's my home turf. Dad sailed the lakes when I was a kid....moved away now...but love the area. Love the North Shore...it is a special place.

Growing up in the western end of the upper peninsula of Michigan, heading to Duluth for a day of shopping was always a treat. I remember everything you show in that video!

Grew up in Duluth, moved to Mpls. in 1981. Winters can be brutal. The rest of the time can be pretty good. Worked at Frasier Shipyards for a few years in the 70's.

Lived there 40+ years ago. He mentioned the temp dropping 11 degrees in a half hour; must have been an east wind. They always gave two temperatures for Duluth; by the Lake, and up the hill (4 miles away). Sometimes a 25 degree difference between the two depending on the wind.

[@christopherreiff3192]

I love highway 53 and route 2

[@christopherreiff3192]

The intersection just before we entered 535 have now traffic lights and a road removal and a short turn from Us 35 to I535

Soup Town. Used to go over there to drink and hit the Louis Cafe. In a former life. :)

Pretty good video considering you're driving and filming at the same time. Especially enjoyed the inclusion of the dash cap view. My mother and two sisters were born and raised in Duluth. Have visited in the summer, fall and winter over the years. This is probably the least attractive period to see. We spent most our time in the east end and the near west end. Thanks

[@buckfan1969]

When I lived there I heard a local once say; "We had a beautiful summer last year, but I had to work that weekend...;) a slight exaggeration but not that much..

[@ericpurkey7502]

My mother is from Superior Wisconsin use to visit my grandparents who lived in Superior Wisconsin they died in the 1990's so I have seen those sites you have passed and I have been to Barker's island.

[@1Ocqueoc]

[@chrisk8187]

Do you know who was the probably most famous graduate from UW-Superior? None other than Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!

[@donrobertson4611]

Yeah, we used to stop there tp stock up on Leinenkugel's Original to take back to Tucson - can't get Original in AZ

[@christopherreiff3192]

It's okay

[@williamaichinger2358]

I noticed both cities Duluth and Superior have very very high crime rates why whats going on up there/

[@shadowknight9807]

Drug use in Duluth is getting bad. You see them just hanging around downtown. Really a drag as our family made regular trips up to Duluth when I was young. Not the same!!

[@tryinout1]

Is a ton of difference between Duluth and Superior. Superior looks ratty and run down whereas Duluth seems to be building up and modern.

[@shane1421]

@Jack Liberal may not be best in every category but in this specific case it cleaned up Duluth.

[@hexoticace8667]

Duluth is a shit hole now and Superior is building up.

[@DF-zp1os]

Responding to a dated comment, but Superior had it's share of investment since 2015 from roads, new hotels, to new businesses. Superior took advantage of lack of housing in twin ports by adding many high density apartment projects, some infill new housing. Time will tell if there is a sustainable switchover to development growth. I enjoy Duluth, but lots of homeless floating around downtown and for whatever reason that is absent in Superior.
