^ there is a minnesota mild dylan rivalry between the two towns that goes like this:

in duluth he learned to tie his shoes, in hibbing he learned to play the blues --

i think somebody from hibbing started that!

I'm enjoying your tour of the Midwest. Duluth looks charming to me, in a rusty sort of way. I'm a sucker for Great Lakes cities.

Ah, the zenith city of the unsalted seas...I'll be there Friday.

Great tour! Based on this and your twin cities photos, you do a great job in exploring cities. Among the many awesome pictures, I especially liked the two water towers, the nighttime Aerial Lift Bridge shot (after Dylan's album cover--my favorite Dylan album btw) and the interior of the Coney Island Restaurant.

Sure did, cause that's my second favorite Dylan album (tied with Bringing it all back home).

That was fun. Gotta love those port cities, even if there's a a touch of rough around their edges. Thanks for the tour.
