11/30/2010One of the great qualities of Duluth is that the people appreciate clean water, fresh air, and helping our neighbor. If that makes us what you call "liberal" so be it. We are helpful, generous folks.

What Planet Did You Live in Lady? -
11/30/2010I just read a review about Duluth from a former Duluthian to my chagrin. Evidently she must be talking about Georgia. Duluth, Minnesota is has one of the nicest summers of any city I have ever lived in. I know this because I am active all summer long. There are few bugs along the bay, and Lake Superior and the bugs that live in our forests go to sleep early as the cool evening sets in. Unlike Minneapolis, our humidity is low.
San Francisco is the Duluth of the west coast. We have all their beauty with far less people. Duluth is really a city within a park. You can walk along our rivers and creeks within the city or enjoy one of the longest man-made land masses in the U.S., Park Point. We have a fabulous lake walk as well.
Our people are hard working and most, other than my relatives, can fix anything. The folks here are self-sufficient and genuinely Minnesota Nice. Rather than saying "you all come back you hear", they grab a shovel and help you clear your snow.
We also have a fabulous University for Seniors housed at the University of Minnesota. Over 300 people attend classes. In our land, 60 is the new 40. People are very active late in life. I row with 3 others and our average age in the boat is 67. My mother in law dates a 90 year old skier. We have come to expect this way of life.
