Where in Duluth: Buzzfeed edition
I was reading through this list of things Minnesotans are [allegedly] too nice to brag about and I saw this picture, figured it was from Duluth, and it is.
Minnesotans do brag about all of this stuff all the time, but it’s fun to see it on Buzzfeed. Several items in the article have a Duluth connection.
Playfront.
Bayfront Festival Park
True. I’ve never seen anyone brag about Bob Dylan being from here.
No, bundt cake is a real stretch. I think it spontaneously came to life every where at one time, especially Eastern Nebraska circa early 70s.
On the other hand: hockey haircuts!!! Growing up, we called them uncomplimentary variations on “mullet.” Who knew they were, actually, so totally and insanely great!?!?!
The list is pretty good except for #4 totally not applying to northern MN:
“Everyone in MN knows that Duck Duck Gray Duck is a far superior game to Duck Duck Goose.”
Wasn’t the shopping center out in Morgan Park kinda’ sorta’ the first indoor mall, all be it on a smaller scale? It was later converted to an outdoor mall to make storage space if I’m not mistaken. I think I saw that on PPS.
From PDD: “One of the first shopping malls in the United States — Lake View Store in Morgan Park“
