Mike, your legs serve you well. So many videos you walk miles to show so much relevant info onDuluth. May you always remain strong in all your life ventures.
Duluth, MN is smaller than the town where I live, and yet at ground level downtown, strangely, it looks more like a big city. This intrigues me, and I'd love to visit sometime.
@timpalmer7934 I know what you mean Tim. It’s an extremely old and historic city. Lots of brick and you can just imagine the people in the early 1900 still walking around.
It used to be even bigger in the historical past. At the turn of the century it was a biggest shipping port in the US, even bigger than NY! But even now there is a bigger population than just what’s in the city limits. I would say it’s closer to 150,000.
Daniel, I’ll bet you recognize a lot of those building but with new names on the front? I love those old buildings there. So beautiful. There’s a mix of old school and new school! It’s such a beautiful city and becoming more of a national destination vs. only Minnesota tourists.
So, I vist family in Duluth in 1985. We where suppose to stop for a cup of coffee - but we stayed for a week. I love that city. Still. Thank you for taking me for a spin.
Thanks for the video Mike. I visited there twice all the way from London UK. I had friends from Duluth. I enjoyed visiting there, not as busy as parts of London. Brings back memories of walking around downtown. Please post a lot more videos. Thanks Allan
Allan! How’s it going friend! I’m glad you were able to visit and I really hope you make it back again. It’s really a old port city that has become a trouser spot for many people! All the best to you! Come back for more videos in the future. Great chatting with you. 👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is so great, Mike! I love old buildings, inside and out, they are so interesting with many stories to tell. This is exciting to see places I most likely will never be able to visit in person and you have taken me there. Please show us more.
It’s an unbelievable old-school city with those buildings. One fun fact, did you know the build right next to the lift bridge is where pizza rolls were invented? Take a look at the history, Duluth is where it started. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_snack_rolls
I’m so glad to hear that Edmund. Good memories! I did that video because I’ve seen photos from that area 100 years ago and many of the same buildings exists but different businesses. It will be fun looking back 20 years from now to see all that has changed again.
Thanks so much for this video tour. I was born and raised in Duluth (Duluth East '76) and this brough back some good memories. Attended a few "Christmas City of the North" parades and saw more than a few movies at the Norshor. It's been awhile since I last visited. I was trying to see if the old Medical Arts building and the Black Bear lounge are still there, but it seemed they are not. Much change over the years but I'd love to try out some of the new places.
Black Bear is gone I know. A lot has changed but each of those older brick buildings speak about years past just by looking at them. I love this city Greg. Four ships will be moving soon and I will be going live next to the bridge.
Beautifully maintained social areas. Been years since I have been to this marvelous maritime and so much more city. Duluth, " she 's achanging and growing"
I wonder if the Temple Opera Block is where the old Symphonic Hall was? In 1959, when I was a 4th grader at Washburn School they brought all the 4th graders in Duluth to a concert from the Duluth Symphony. It had a profound impact on me and was a great experience.
Oh man!!! That was out of this world. I worked in the title insurance business most of my life and the last independent title company I worked for in California was an agent for First American Title Company (among others) so that resonates with me in a big way. And don’t get me started on Duluth Trading Co. I’m a Duluth Trading junkie. I’ll bet 2/3 of my wardrobe was purchased from DTC. When you put the camera on that building my heart skipped a beat. Outstanding job.
Great Downtown Duluth Tour Mike I Enjoyed It How Many Movie Theaters Were In Duluth? and I Got To Get The Duluth Trading Catalog I Have Been In One Of The Stores In Massachusetts And I Liked It Their Commercials Were Funny Ballroom 👖 Have A Great Night😊😊😊😊
You are doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work. Love these videos of Duluth, so very interesting. Hope you do more videos on the South Pier at Canal Park, and more walking tours of downtown Duluth.
Carolyn, thank you so much for leaving your thoughts. I definitely will do much more on South Pier and in Canal Park. Are there any other areas in Duluth that would interest you too?
@@vibewithmike Duluth looks like such a beautiful city. I'm sure that anywhere you travel there would be a very enjoyable video for me to view. Thank you for asking!
This might be my favorite video of yours yet, amazing spot getting built up nicely. Well done. I went in to hucklebeary a few year back when she had a place you could touch both walls if you outstretched your arms, great person that owns it, good to see her coming up in the world. Nothing beats a Duluth stroll, minus that woman yelling haha! never saw those swings and things in the beginning definitely need to check em out soon!
Hey brother! Yeah, I have never walked on Superior Street, just to take a walk. It was cool checking out all the new spots and a few old ones. I love the architecture because those buildings are so old school with brick but there’s new restaurants and bars in there. It gets a little wild by the casino. There’s always some commotion in there. You see a lot more walking around I noticed. I typically drive by all of that stuff. Thanks brother for checking in! Let me know when you’re going to hit Duluth, let’s get together up here!
Duluth Minnesota looks like Minneapolis and ST. Paul from street view, we may not have real size mountains but kind of we got huge hill and green grass trees everywhere cliffs that look like mountains, and I like the Duluth beach sandy beach on canal park.
You’re right Bradlee, it has that big town feel but it’s surrounded by such beauty including Lake Superior, woods, etc. Duluth is a true gem of a city. I can tell you love Duluth too.
Awesome video, lived-in East side it was awesome and then lived on the corner of Woodland Avenue and Martin Rd😂then left to Indiana in 1977, big mistake
It was very interesting when they did some demolition by last place on earth and there were a couple floors of bricked off arched windows and doors below street level,everybody driving on sublevels.Also the brick steam tunnel and water tunnels all over under ground....urban exploration
It’s me Mike. Lots of changes since I lived in Duluth 53 years ago. I don’t see any businesses that used to be there when I lived there. Fun fact…..Greysolon Plaza used to have the Black bear lounge. Named after a black bear got in many many years ago. It was also in one of the opening scenes of Disney’s movie “Iron Will” along with my high school, “Duluth Central” I think Duluth Trading Company is headquartered in Wisconsin. By the way, what happened to the Vikings losing after beating the Packers, the week before. That’s why I moved my fan devotion to Tampa with Tom Brady. Cousins needs to get some receivers that know how to catch the ball.
I love those awesome facts that you let me know about Duluth! Regarding the Vikings, my back up team has always been whoever Brady plays for. He is the best and a true professional. Nobody is or will better at QB! Living in Minnesota our sports teams require a heavy dose of hope as a fan. 😂😂😂
Thanks. Lots of construction on Superior St. last few years, haven't walked there in a long time. Looks very nice, clean, with attractive, trendy spots. But the past had its own funky charm. Electric Fetus - great music store, clothes, etc. Disheveled old used bookstore. Colorful characters off the boats. Quirky.
Dan, the Electric Fetus, that’s sad to see it close. Superior Street still has the historic old-school look with the brick buildings though. I like that.
I hope they rightsize the i35 in that area where you start out at the beginning. There is a great plan to have pedestrian zones with more shops and green spaces. It would also connect to Canal Park. Something like this just makes sense for a city with lots of walking by residents and visitors.
Worked at Perkins Restaurant in thr 1970's😂 then when they shut down the dumps and the bears came into Duluth and a bear came into a booth were 2 police officers were sitting and the bear came through the window
Heidi, absolutely, I will keep the videos coming! After I was done with the video I knew I forgot that restaurant too. I’ll get it the next time my friend!
Thanks Mike, it would have been helpful to provide more background regarding some of the historic buildings, such as the restored Norshor theater, the former Hotel Duluth (now Greysolon plaza) and old city hall building
It definitely does get cold. Did you see the ship video today? ⚓️Bold & Cold at 28°F: The 768’ Ship “Munson” Shivers into Duluth - LIVE! ruclips.net/user/live-KTFrSxoy98?feature=share
The Duluth Trading Co. Is the original building. I was best friends with David Ferek and his older brother who started the company in Duluth with the "bucket boss". They sold it several yrs later and made millions. !!
That’s crazy because I always heard they didn’t even start in Duluth. They haven’t been in that building very many years, must have left and then came back.
That’s very cool Richard! The one thing that has changed since then, cruise ships! Take a look at this. What do you think about these in Duluth? ruclips.net/user/livepjMP76VdZwA?si=o41oi4MqtaWpO2Zj
My friend, you are living most peoples dream to be right there:) You’re able to walk out onto Superior Street and go to all of the different cool restaurants/bars right by you. You can walk a few minutes and be at Fitger’s! So cool! Are you able to take advantage of some of the amenities that the hotel guests receive too?
The electric fetus is a classic. I agree. Did you see this cruise ship video from a few weeks ago? ruclips.net/user/livepjMP76VdZwA?si=kNpVT4X3WwqiR_k0
Naw it’s amazing living here, depending on where you live of course. There are definitely some parts that aren’t good, just like any decent sized city.
Love Duluth Minnesota where I grew up
Thanks for watching Richard, I hope you subscribe and come back, it’s totally free to subscribe my friend
Mike, your legs serve you well. So many videos you walk miles to show so much relevant info onDuluth. May you always remain strong in all your life ventures.
I still live in Duluth! I love it here and have a view of the lake! I see ships everyday!
You’re one of the luckily ones with a view of the lake. The ships never get old. It’s so part of the city!
Thanks for the walk. I love walking along the Lakewalk every time I visit....but often I end up walking down Superior street....
Jean! Thank you so much for watching!
Duluth, MN is smaller than the town where I live, and yet at ground level downtown, strangely, it looks more like a big city. This intrigues me, and I'd love to visit sometime.
I've always liked the look and vibe of downtown Duluth!
@timpalmer7934 I know what you mean Tim. It’s an extremely old and historic city. Lots of brick and you can just imagine the people in the early 1900 still walking around.
Yes. I’m amazed at how much stunning architecture that town has. I’m actually thinking I might want to move there some day.
@timpalmer7934 it seriously like going back in the past
It used to be even bigger in the historical past. At the turn of the century it was a biggest shipping port in the US, even bigger than NY!
But even now there is a bigger population than just what’s in the city limits. I would say it’s closer to 150,000.
Thank you Mike
I was Born in Duluth and lived there in 1979
Thanks for the Walk down Superior Street
Duluth is a Beautiful Place

Duluth is such a Unique City and the Downtown Area is So Cool
100%
So many memories from my teen years.
I’m so glad to hear that Edmund. Good memories! I did that video because I’ve seen photos from that area 100 years ago and many of the same buildings exists but different businesses. It will be fun looking back 20 years from now to see all that has changed again.
Since I want to visit Duluth, nice to get a little taste of the town!
Stephen, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s fun taking a stroll down the street in Duluth.👍

Awesome story, I will dig into this for you.
Super !!!!!! It has been years. I feel like I am back !!
I’m glad that you enjoyed it
Sorry to see the book store is no more. That was my favorite store in Duluth.

This is one of my first videos walking around
Who would have thought a walk down the street could be so interesting ! Looks like a thriving place.
I need to add this to my list Mike!!!!
That was a fun walk there in Duluth
You are doing a fantastic job!

Joetta👋
Thanks! I really hope they fill those empty stores too.
Awesome video, lived-in East side it was awesome and then lived on the corner of Woodland Avenue and Martin Rd😂then left to Indiana in 1977, big mistake

Very nice.

I think Duluth Trading Company is headquartered in Wisconsin.
By the way, what happened to the Vikings losing after beating the Packers, the week before. That’s why I moved my fan devotion to Tampa with Tom Brady. Cousins needs to get some receivers that know how to catch the ball.

I’m so game for expanding green spaces. Duluth needs some more! Anders, I appreciate you taking a minute to drop a comment. All the rest to you!⛴️
Worked at Perkins Restaurant in thr 1970's😂 then when they shut down the dumps and the bears came into Duluth and a bear came into a booth were 2 police officers were sitting and the bear came through the window
Awesome walk through Mike.!! Is there a campground nearby.? Thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks Linda! The closest would be Indian Point Campground about 15 or so minutes away.
Yes please…more Duluth videos! p.s. - you forgot to mention the iconic Coney Island Restaurant when you passed by it 😁
Heidi, absolutely, I will keep the videos coming! After I was done with the video I knew I forgot that restaurant too. I’ll get it the next time my friend!
@@vibewithmike Had a few of those coneys myself back in the day!
Thanks Mike, it would have been helpful to provide more background regarding some of the historic buildings, such as the restored Norshor theater, the former Hotel Duluth (now Greysolon plaza) and old city hall building

Now see, if I'd had a place where I could get drunk and throw axes then walk home when up was up there, I never would have left.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🍺🍻🍷🍸🍹🥂🍾🥃🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓
the whole street is empty
It definitely gets packed during some big events. Take a look at this pilot transfer. ruclips.net/video/cUyGq471FrA/видео.htmlsi=FTzWFT44GKDibkZZ
Nice place to visit , but living there is a whole different thing. And not to positive.
Naw it’s amazing living here, depending on where you live of course. There are definitely some parts that aren’t good, just like any decent sized city.
Two hippie spots the theater and it restaurant and black list
