Street scene, Lake & Superior Streets 21 July 1909 (Minnesota Reflections)
I ran across this photo last year on Minnesota Reflections.
It was the people who caught my interest though. Looking into the faces of people caught in a random freezeframe of Superior Street traffic from 101 years ago grabbed me for whatever reason. I guess the fact that they’re gawking at a ruined street gives it a timeless quality.
A coworker recently left this poster in her office so I:
1) Pounced all over it.
2) Wondered if others in Duluth have old posters from big name (whatever that means) rock shows that took place here.
Does anybody else have posters they can upload a picture of … or just knowledge of other big acts that have come through Duluth?
In 2009 Kathy McTavish was awarded an American Composers Forum / Jerome Foundation commission and an Arrowhead Regional Arts Council / McKnight Foundation grant to compose, record and perform a work for electrified solo cello called: “River Icarus: Rusted Bridge / Deep Water.”
The “River Icarus” project explores myth and memory, the ways we construct our personal story, the relationship to our physical surroundings and the myths/ghosts that exist in that landscape. This fusion of film and cello explores the ephemeral, elusive underworld of personal experience.
Join Kathy and Jodi Christensen on Thursday, Sept. 23, 7-8:30pm, Deep Peace Wellness Studio, located at 31 W. Superior St., Suite 501 (Enter through the avenue).
Watch, listen, draw, journal, meditate, or relax in restorative yoga poses.
Donations appreciated.

The photo above is from 1910. It was almost certainly shot from North 59th Avenue West, near where Tacony Street intersects it. I tried to replicate it with the modern shot below, but trees, fences and houses kept me from shooting at the same spot, and the view is much more limited.
Behind all the trees across the street is a rock outcropping that matches the one in the 1910 photo.
This is response to the post “Looking for Duluth apartment” in which “j-i-l-l-o” posted that someone was looking for a centralized location in Duluth and “Losjasmo” said that was a synonym for “ghetto-town.” “Wildgoose” took offense. So did I.
This summer I heard Majora Carter speak and something she said really struck me. “Ghettos don’t just happen … they are planned.”
Please don’t say Wal-Mart.
We are having a Ladies Night of Indulgence this Thursday at Kress Hall in the basement of the Cathedral of Christ the King in Superior from 7p-9p. Come on out and meet some of the 15+ vendors we have available to demonstrate massages, facials, clothing, jewelry and more! This event is 21+ only. Free! Plus we will have wine tasting and fancy snacks. This event is a Friendraiser for Guiding Star Women’s Center.
Shawn Nicholas made it as a featured image in today’s Gizmodo post about photo composites.
A friend of mine is at her wits end trying to find a one-bedroom or studio apartment that is in a centralized Duluth location and is not totally ghetto. She is a sweet, responsible person and is about ready to give up hope, so if you have any ideas or leads, I’d really appreciate you leaving a comment. Thanks so much!
