Downtown Duluth 1964

Paul Lundgren Sep 01, 2024 2 Comments

This photo of Downtown Duluth, found on the French-language edition of Wikipedia, is dated Sept. 1, 1964. It shows East Superior Street from Lake Avenue looking northeast with the Hotel Duluth at center frame. Note the NorShor Theatre still had its tower marquee, which was dismantled in 1967.

The Bradley Building at the right edge of the photo was demolished in 1979. The entire block of buildings at left were demolished prior to the construction of the Duluth Technology Village in 2000.

I took piano lessons at Branders, just past KDAL, which I never knew occupied that building before The Strand. Folks used to think I was nuts when I told them where the Jolly Fish used to be located. I think Famous ended up on First Street. Good times.

Looks like my pink 1956 Chrysler Windsor. USAF sent me to Duluth from France. I picked up that car in Pennsylvania and drove it to Duluth in April 1964. That was a perfect summer. I met my future wife. We had our first date at the Minnesota State Fair.
