Our day started out with a trip to the shopping district at Canal Park, near the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth. Amazing display of architecture. The driving surface of the bridge lifts up to allow floating passage underneath, not your average every day type of bridge. It was originally built in 1905 as an aerial ferry, but updated in 1930 to include the lift for the transport of cars. The bridge spans about 390 feet, and rises and lowers up to 30 times a day during the busy shipping season. The lift is just right above the top of the buildings in the photo below.
After spending the morning shopping we had one last road trip, with a lunch stop on the way.
And low and behold, a name familiar to just about anyone who has seen the pop culture film (as raunchy as it is).
Nothing says adventure like a stop along a random highway for road food. Pretty good burger, great onion rings.
