The Bucket List

06/21/11The Bucket List: Aerial Lift BridgeSunny days come and go with the frequency of the stop-and-go construction traffic of summer, and when the sun does come out and the warm weather decides make an appearance in the Northland, we Duluthians try to pack everything we can into the three-month span. However, it seems we always need a lift in order to get out of our gray-day gloom and into our warm-weather exuberance. I have lived in the area all my life and I’ll say—with confidence—that the Aerial Lift Bridge is just the thing to do it! |

06/21/11The Bucket List: Enger Park Part IEnger Park is a beautiful place to visit in and of itself, but Enger Tower is reason alone to make the trip up the hill. The panoramic view of Duluth and the skyline is worth every trek up those stone steps. As a child, my brother and I raced just for the sake of it, now we take our time to enjoy the structure of the tower and the amazing view. 85 steps are nothing (oh yes, I counted them!) compared to the view and photo opportunities! |

06/20/11The Bucket List: Bayfront Festival ParkDuluth is such a tourist town (especially during summer months) that it is constantly striving to make the best use of its space. Parking in downtown Duluth or in Canal Park can get just plain ridiculous—and that’s just on a normal day! If there’s an event of any kind going on, you can assume the worst and pack your walking shoes. But enough on my parking rant . . . let me get onto one way Duluth has sought to utilize space: Bayfront Festival Park. |

06/20/11The Bucket List: Duluth Public Library“His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest, and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.” |
