Totally agree, we were up in Duluth last weekend. Very pretty area and several craft breweries!

I was up there for work several months ago, and enjoyed a brief tour of several of the breweries. Pretty country, first time I had been there since I was 12. 

We stayed in the Radisson - it is shaped like a large cylinder and still has a functioning rotating restaurant. 

Wife and I are planning a four day weekend up there this summer sometime.

The gentleman that presented this program is a heck of a funny dude.  We imported him from the 'Baaston' area a couple decades ago and he's pure 'Sconnie now.  He does 90 minutes of 'radio stand-up' once a month on WPR and it's must listen radio.
