I love to travel and often visit places that far from busy tourist routes.
Today I would like to say about one Northern American city.
It is located on a steep mountainside on the shores of the largest freshwater lake in the world.
Let me introduce: Duluth, MN.
Look at the building in the picture below. What is it? The first thought is Hogwarts from “Harry Potter”.
Not. It’s hard to guess, but this is a regular public school.
The school clock tower slightly lower than the famous English London Big Ben.
How is this possible?
The fact is that a hundred years ago this small town was a real city of millionaires.
In 1900-1910 the port of Duluth handled more cargo than ports of Chicago and New York.
As a result - in the downtown are many beautiful buildings with original style.
City of millionaires in the past, today Duluth is student city: there are two big and popular educational institution, College of Saint Scholastica and UMD.
The Aerial Bridge is the gate to Duluth harbor:
Next picture shows “The American Century” that leaving Duluth Harbor.

When you will walk across downtown you will see small park and monument.
This is a viking with a sword. The great Leif Ericson.
It’s incredible, but this guy was here long before Christopher Columbus.
About neighborhoods of Duluth.
Take a look at some pictures. This is Split Rock Lighthouse
Panorama Lake Superior.
It is difficult to imagine a more severe and majestic picture
Thank you Duluth!
This harsh northern city is immersed in the cold, snow and ice from October to April. But this city has a warm and kind heart.
And this city is capable make you fall in love at first sight and first step.
