Hah, I love the little park with the benches, so you can sit and rest while viewing the majestic cement.

I love that neighborhood. The park there is named in honor of the old "granitoid" streets around it, I believe.

Driving -- even ever so slowly -- over it is a jarring experience.

I live on 7th and would gladly pay the assessment to have a street like 6th.  Until my kids develop some confidence on their bikes, we have to have an "outing" down to Holy Rosary parking lot in order for them to practice.  In addition to the road being unusable for road skates, skateboards or bike training, there are no level adjacent sections of sidewalk.  Yes - using a section of sidewalk for a teetortodder amuses the toddlers, but very difficult to maintain in the winter.  You are correct - we don't have a lot of speeders or through traffic.  I'll even avoid driving on it as much as possible, often taking the "long way" home.

Oh, read the picture. Doy. 101/2 years. Where was the Pomp and Circumstance on the centennial like the Lift Bridge received? I feel sad for you concrete street. If only you had been cobblestoned.

Wow. Oddly, concretely, this is pretty cool. Anyone know why Duluth was the site of the first concrete streets in the state? Or, if that's evet true. The marker from 1959 reads this is the first concrete street in Minnesota. I wonder if it's truly the first or the oldest remaining.

 Shout out to whoever is DJ on KUMD 10:50 Tuesday night.
