         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Wednesday, December 9, 2015: 
Mark and Paula headed to the Twin Ports.  From a visitor center at the top of the hill, they could see over Duluth and the bay to Superior beyond.
The weather was a bit hazy, which gave a special look at objects below.
 
 
There is an interesting mural in the Superior Public Library.  It depicts the Telegram Newspaper building with two towers on the roof. 
Those towers were for WEBC Radio in Duluth/Superior back in the 1920s. 
Mark's father Charlie was the engineer for this station, and others in the Arrowhead Radio Network. 
Charlie told his life's story in his autobiography.
Duluth is a busy international shipping port.  The SS Eider from Germany arrived late in the day to pick up a load of grain.
 
Yes, the Eider was being carefully watched by Santa Clause himself from a light tower at the bridge.
 
Sunset that day filled the harbor with orange.
 
After sunset, the Aerial Bridge was gold in color.  Something like the Golden Gate of Minnesota.
 
Mark and Paula stopped in at an Irish pub that evening for a brew, live music, and a little to eat.  The Dubh Linn is a friendly place.
 
Quote of the day:    Duluth is a great city.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
