Duluth reference in The Cutting Edge
Yes, the 1992 movie The Cutting Edge is utterly cheesy, but we’re nothing if not thorough at PDD, so we must include it with the other references to Duluth in the realm of major motion pictures.
D. B. Sweeney plays the part of Doug Dorsey, a hockey player from the fictional town of Mayhorn, Minn., which is apparently supposed to be near Duluth. When Sweeney’s career is cut short, he goes back to Minnesota. It is unclear whether he is in Mayhorn or Duluth, but the radio station he listens to broadcasts out of Duluth.

Ice Boulders
We’ve had a lot of awesome ice-sheet events on Lake Superior, but I can’t say we’ve had smooth, round boulders. This video by Bob Smitka shows ice boulders on the Lake Michigan shore at Glen Arbor from the polar vortex days.

Winter in Duluth
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWxvCRyZ3tY
Hey, it’s -13 degrees! Let’s head to Stoney Point! Surf’s up!
Hey, the water is a balmy 38 degrees, so you’d be stupid not to do this, really.

Also in the episode: Artaria String Quartet preserves and performs classical chamber repertoire, Robert Bly shares three of his poems and Judy Onofrio creates sculptures from animal bones.
Split Rock Lighthouse – Aerial Flyover
This is the first PDD Drone video, shot at Split Rock Lighthouse on Christmas Day. It was only the fourth flight in the drone’s young career, and we are still in the practice mode of getting smooth flyovers and panning when shooting video. We are improving with each flight and I personally think it is a huge accomplishment that the PDD Drone is not sitting at the bottom of Lake Superior … yet. So enjoy this unique perspective of Split Rock Lighthouse and let us know what you think.
The PDD Drone is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision.
