This is Duluth. The map is the real city and the round is played on its actual streets, where the ball banks off the facades of real attractions like the SS William A. Irvin to reach the cup. Skip is a local guide who knows every nook and cranny of these sidewalks. It is a full round of 18 holes with a par of 55. The total walk covers 7.1 mi, though a pigeon can take a few shortcuts across the rooftops.
Let me show you Bayfront Festival Park. It is a park located right along the water, making it a primary spot for visitors to enjoy the open air and the lake breeze. Whether you are passing through or staying a while, it is a reliable place to get your bearings in Duluth. I've found the open space here is quite a relief from the tighter city streets.
Let me show you the SS William A. Irvin. This preserved lake freighter was named for William A. Irvin and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It spent years as a general workhorse of the fleet until retiring in 1978. For a long time, it was the primary vessel for its owners, serving as the flagship of the company fleet from 1938 until 1975. You can still see the scale of this vessel today, which once sailed the Great Lakes as a bulk freighter for US Steel's lake fleet. I've always found the size of these ships a bit daunting from the air.
You will first notice the Duluth North Pier Light standing 11 meters tall against the horizon. This lighthouse is located on the north breakwater of the Duluth Ship Canal in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. Because it is a National Register of Historic Places listed place, it is a significant landmark for anyone exploring the harbor and the surrounding waterfront. I always find the breeze coming off the canal keeps things feeling fresh around here, which is a nice bonus while you take in the views of the ship canal and the breakwater.
You will first notice this public aquarium sitting right on the waterfront of the Duluth harbor, next to Lake Superior. Opened in 2000, it is a private nonprofit that brings a wide variety of wildlife to the city. Inside, you can find habitats from the Great Lakes basin as well as worldwide ecosystems like the Amazon River or Pacific reefs. The facility houses 205 different species, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish. I've found the waterfront location makes it a great spot to feel the lake breeze before heading inside.
Let me show you Canal Park. When you arrive, you will notice the open space and the water. This location is a park, making it a great spot for visitors to stop and take in the surroundings of the city.
Επιτρέψτε μου να σας δείξω τη Βιβλιοθήκη και το Μουσείο Χειρογράφων Καρπέλες. Αυτή η τοποθεσία είναι μια βιβλιοθήκη που ιδρύθηκε το 1983. Είναι ένα σημαντικό σημείο στην πόλη για όσους εκτιμούν τη γραπτή ιστορία και τις επιμελημένες συλλογές. Είτε είστε τουρίστας είτε ντόπιος, είναι ένα μέρος που αξίζει να προσέξετε καθώς περιηγείστε στη γειτονιά. Συχνά βλέπω ανθρώπους να σταματούν εδώ για να θαυμάσουν το κτίριο από το πεζοδρόμιο και είναι μια από τις αγαπημένες μου περιοχές για να παρατηρώ τα πλήθη από ένα ψηλό σημείο.
