The other side of ... THE SKYWALK SYSTEM

For my next "Discover Duluth" photo essay, I aborted my plans for Seven Bridges Road until A) it gets warmer outside and B) I have new shoes that don't slip up on the easiest of slopes. And, since my camera isn't too keen on the cold temps, I thought heading inside was a good idea.

Thus, downtown's Skywalk System. ("Elevate Me," left, is an outtake from today's adventure.)

While googling the history of the walkway, I found a great column by Mark Lindquist on his "Working Blue" blog, "Skywalk Fun -- Walk With Me; It's a Freak Show Up There," and its "sequel," "More Skywalk Stories."

  1. When I was eight or nine my Dad brought me around the skyway system to look for my runaway brother and sister. Oh man, those were the days.
