I really miss Duffy's Drive In in Kenwood.
Lost Duluth Restaurants Hundreds—perhaps thousands—of restaurants have come and gone in Duluth. We’d be remiss without mentioning at least a few. Old postcards remind us of Duluth’s many eateries from the 1920s and 30s: …
Ok, let's see just how far are tree branches have grown!

I have been very busy with many projects over the last year and haven't had time to add information to the group. I want to acknowledge that I did receive a package of information from one of the classes and will get to it as soon as I can! I haven't forgotten. If someone else cares to assist in this site I'd love to have them let me know. I may include sections in the photograph section for individual classes to be posted.
This can be a great site if we can have more help. Let me know, and we can grow.

From the New Tribune
The Historic Central High School in the U.S. city of Duluth, Minnesota was built in 1892 of locally mined sandstone at a cost of $460,000. It features a 230-foot clock tower with chimes patterned after Big Ben in London; the clock faces are each 10½ feet in diameter, overlooking the Duluth harbor.
Architectural details such as gargoyles are the work of George Tharna. In 1972 the school board ceased using the building for classroom instruction, possibly because the hungry boilers would burn up to 8 tons of coal per winter day.[according to whom?] The Central Preservation Committee and other interested citizens saved the building and created an 1890s classroom museum within the structure. Duluth Central High School moved to its new location and the historic structure was renovated for administration use. Subsequently, the alternative school, Unity High School began occupying some space in the old building. Their original mission was to develop alternative teaching and learning methods, and enrollment was by referral only.
