Where in Duluth? PDD 15th Anniversary Challenge #14 of 15
If you’ve followed Perfect Duluth Day for long, you know how to play “Where in Duluth?” A photo from an undisclosed spot is posted, people guess the location in the comments, someone eventually gets it right and everyone else admires that person’s brilliance. But now, as part of PDD’s 15th anniversary celebration, there are prizes on the line.
Duluth’s Duluthiest website celebrates its anniversary on Friday, June 29, at Wade Stadium as the Duluth Huskies face the Thunder Bay Border Cats in Northwoods League baseball. PDD will have a canopy at the game from 6 to 9 p.m. and representatives will be on hand to pass out birthday cake and give away various prizes. There will also be a drawing with 15 names in it for three special prizes — for the “Where in Duluth?” champions.
Here’s how the “Where in Duluth?” challenge works:
- As opposed to the usual “Where in Duluth?” posts, the contest images feature the PDD Angry Seagull mascot in the frame.
- As usual, the first person to guess the correct location in the comments to the post is the winner.
- Each winner will be entered into a drawing for the three fabulous prizes.
- The drawing will be held at Wade Stadium the night of the party. Winners need not be present to collect a prize.
Prizes:
Daypack: A North Bay Daypack with padded laptop sleeve from Frost River. This classic pack is styled in waxed canvas. Check out more from Frost River on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Loll Chair: A charcoal grey Adirondack chair from Loll Designs. Check out more from Loll Designs on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Rafting Adventure: A 4-to-6-person excursion from Minnesota Whitewater Rafting. The winner will receive a certificate good for a 4.4-mile trip on the St. Louis River this summer in a dam-controlled area. Learn more about Minnesota Whitewater Rafting on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Good luck with your “Where in Duluth?” speed and skills. See you at PDDXV!
Enger park?
Nope, not Enger Park.
Lester Park golf course?
Forest Hill Cemetery?
Leif Erickson park?
Chester Bowl – ?
All of the above are incorrect.
Is this out along Brighton Beach? Based on the trees and whatnot I want to say that is not “up” the hill but rather closer to the lake or St. Louis River.
It’s not Brighton Beach.
It’s that golf course near the disk golf course, near the Twin Ponds.
ok, amending my answer. Is it the grassy, treed area by the Enger Trails, north of the Twin Ponds, that abuts the Enger Park golf course and the Miller Creek disk golf course?
Chambers Grove?
Nope. It’s not in the Enger Park or Chambers Grove Park vicinity.
Park Point?
Not Park Point.
Northland CC?
Guessing maybe Fairmont Park out by the Zoo ~ ??
By Central Highschool?
Lincoln Park?
All incorrect.
Cavalry Cemetery?
Old Main?
Irving Field/Park?
All incorrect. I’ll offer this hint: It is not a cemetery or golf course.
Lester park or Cascade park?
Marshall School?
It is not at Marshall School or any school.
Indian Point Campground ~ maybe?
Nope. It is not at a school, cemetery, golf course or campground.
How about Morgan Park?
Wheeler Field
Not Morgan Park or Wheeler Field.
Woodland?
Keene Creek Park.
Blackmer Park?
From these fun yet frustrating challenges I have learned that I really need to get out more AND while I’m out there I need to be more observant of my surroundings. This has taught me that I need to find perceptive ways to Explore my World! Thanx for opening my eyes😲
Not Woodland, not Blackmer Park and not Keene Creene Park.
Here is a clue: It’s not in a park, but it’s very close to a thing that is considered a park, but also not considered a park.
Spirit Mountain?
Wade Stadium??
Nope. Maybe the clue would be better phrased this way: It’s close to a thing that is managed by Duluth Parks and Rec and listed as a city park, but most people don’t really consider it a “park.”
Hawk Ridge?
Not Hawk Ridge.
Arlington Athletic Complex – (soccer fields)🤞
Nope, not there.
Magney Snively Nature Area?
Magney-Snively is just a straight-up park. Think in terms of something like Skyline Parkway, which is a scenic road connecting various parks and not really a park itself, yet it’s listed as a park because the Parks Dept. manages it and it’s sort of a park-like attraction.
Western Waterfront Trail🙏
Since Skyline is the example, it’s obviously not that…. The Piedmont Trails?
Looking at the City of Duluth Parks listing the only thing I can see that would qualify is Canal Park or Wheeler park
Western Waterfront and Piedmont trails are other good examples, but neither is it. Jim, you missed it on that list. It’s not Canal Park or Wheeler, but it’s on the list of city parks.
Rose Garden?
Lakewalk?
Or Lakewalk
Yes, the Lakewalk. But the photo wasn’t taken on the Lakewalk. It’s near the Lakewalk.
So we’ve narrowed the terrain.
Grosvenor Square
Not Grosvenor Square. The answer isn’t a spot that can be described by name, really. It’s more like “over by the blabbity blah at such and such.”
Near Lester river by the Limnos U.M.D building
At the end of Alexander St area, where I-35 turns into London Rd?
Is it up from the Ledges?
I’ve got to give the win to Northern Owlbear. It is indeed the area on Water Street across from the Ledges townhomes.
Google maps aerial view FTW!
Congrats! OwlBear…and Thanx for ending my insanity on this one…I was onto this answer too but ya beat me too it…well-done!
These have been so frustrating! (In a good way.) You can’t not agonize over them until the answer is found.
