Live among Duluth’s greatest expats

Apr 10, 2009 2 Comments

So you’re thinking of moving to the Twin Cities. Duluth is home, but you have to trek south for a year. Perhaps it’s for a job, or the love of your life, or you just want to be closer to the Sonic that opened up last year. Whatever your reason, I have a deal for you. Move into the Carleton Artist Lofts and the month of May is rent free.

I know, you’re thinking “What the Gary Doty does this have to do with Duluth?” Well these particular artist lofts are also home to one Dr. Thunder (aka Erik Pearson) and Crystal Meisinger. How could you not want to live alongside these giants among men?

Here’s the linky linky for info. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/apa/1116070157.html

Duluth’s Rear Ends

You said it, not me.

Whenever I’m out on the roads, I always seem to find myself behind people who are expressing themselves. If I’m at a stoplight, or in the passenger seat, or on foot, I always try to take a photo. After the jump are some of the best shots I’ve taken of this sort.

[Don’t] See the Twin Cities by Streetcar

Ever wonder where all the streetcars went? A subsidiary of GM bought them, burned them and put in a few buses and sold them back to the city once they were finally destroyed.

Here is a streetcar map of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 1933!
