Collection of photos from Duluth Most taken from Duluth in the 80's on facebook some are older 70's Most are 80's a few newer ones for comparison I just seeing the old photos and remembering what Duluth Looked like when i was a Kid
My goodness, such memories. The Red Owl in the Kenwood Plaza is where my parents shopped for groceries, Snow White Foods provided me with my first job, Mr. Gallup at Musicland was a neighbor, and so much more. I left for school the Twin Cities in 1977, but so many of these slides show scenes and places from my growing up years. Thanks for the memories!
My family would go there for special occasions. I would always order the BBQ ribs. Before the Radisson was built…As I recall it was at the top of the hill near Central Entrance. I remember always looking for a house down the hill that had a green shingle roof. It always stood out. As I near the end of my life, it is so great to see these photos. They are in my memory, but not in any photos I have. Thank you.
I'll admit my mind was blown a bit by that picture - I remember the Saints roller rinks in Roseville (went to that as a really little kid) and Maplewood (last time I was there, Starship's song "Sara" was big on the charts and I was in 5th grade lol), and heard there was at least one more down here in the Cities - but never had any idea there was a Duluth one also! Neat stuff.
@@ericinMN1970 yeah we moved around the country a few times in the early 80s and sadly that chain was coming to an end by the time we moved back to MN. The Roseville one was already closed by then - the building was still there right by the Roseville water tower off Fairview - for many years there was a great Vietnamese restaurant in one of the suites - Anh Dao; also some pet food store and similar were there. It looks like they finally demolished the old building for Saints Roseville in the past handful of years - there's a much smaller party store on the footprint now. Doing a google search, it seems somebody had reopened the Maplewood one in recent years, but it closed due to Covid (and death of owner?) - Google maps showed me a building that just did not ring a bell at all, so I'm pretty sure that was not where they used to be located.
Loved seeing this! So many memories at Saints and the Normandy in my teens. The salon next to Snow White was the place my mom and I would go to get our hair done.
It’s really crazy to me how much this city has changed for better and for worse since I’ve been born... (2003) man I wish I could go back and experience it
Thank you so much for this!! So many memories! Kenwood shopping plaza, Piggy Wiggly, Saints Roller Rink, Aladdin's Castle! The 80's were my elementary school and Jr. High School days!
wow... @2:27 - Nick Patronas looks so young in that pic. He was a classmate and friend of my dad back in the day, and when I was at UMD I'd regularly say hi to him at the BK on London Road and BS for a few minutes.
Love your video Sir, I grew up in superior 1960-1982. I have been looking for any pics or video on the book/record store near Lake St. I don't remember the name but it was a popular hang out. Thank you.
@1:48 that's not a picture from the 1980's! The front of the white car looks like a 1996 Chrysler LHS! The vehicle on the far left, up close to the building looks like a 90's Pontiac Grand Prix.
The first slide was a Motel. Was there a restaurant on top with good food and great views? Did anyone ever re-open it as a restaurant. What is there now? We loved going there. Found it and returned many many times.
It seems a bit strange that Dayton's never built a store in Duluth. They had stores in Fargo, St. Cloud, Grand Forks, Bismarck, and Sioux Falls....but not Duluth. Weird.
