Return to Duluth

Movie clips relating to Duluth, Minnesota. I put this together for my 2005 high school reunion. In this version I replaced the reunion dates with a North Shore tag at the end.

I worked at WDIO, too, but probably way before your time.

I just found of another film with several Duluth references. THE WHIP HAND (1951). The film involves a photojournalist and a doctor's sister who catch communists testing germ warfare in Wisconsin.

Duluth has this weird undertone in American culture ... I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm amazed at how many people have some odd connection to Duluth ("my family came from there, my aunt went to school there, I saw it in a movie and want to go there," etc. etc.) I've been in Atlanta, San Francisco, New York and Houston, and there's this weird awareness of Duluth with some strange connection. Even London (the aunt who went to college, actually). Duluth is beautiful and strange. Period.

I believe it is in the movie "The Great Outdoors" an old man is wearing a shirt that says "I've been to Duluth"

Other than the long ,cold winters,lack of decent paying jobs, unless your a juiced in good ol boy,and persistant masonic corruption that controls the duluth police department,and all forms of local government,it's not so bad!!

@stefanheikel No, it isn't. It's terrible.

@randersonwa Something else to add to the weird story is, I live in Duluth and I went over to Germany for 3 weeks on a exchange trip and the host father never heard of duluth but happen to be reading a novel that mentioned it literally 10 minutes before I first arrived to their house, I kid you not

[stefanheikel]

I've lived in Duluth nearly my whole life. Other then the harsh winters it's a great place!

I went to jr. high and high school in Duluth and it was a great place to grow up. It's so funny how it's shown in movies as an exotic place!
