MinnPost asks: “Is Duluth in the Rust Belt?

Once you realize what portion of a website's content is about driving clicks, stories like this drive me batty.

"Clicks in MinnPost from the Duluth area are down.  What can we do?"

This sentence:

"Duluth doesn’t fit the definition of a Rust Belt city because it’s never been quite as reliant on manufacturing as some of the most canonical Rust Belt burgs"

Exhibits an overwhelming ignorance of Duluth's history.
