Gordon Lightfoot made it all better.

Gordon Lightfoot made it all better.

One of the longer songs ever.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Every time I hear this song it takes like a week to get it out of my head.

 

[Ogie Ogilthorpe]

Classic tune, well done acknowledging the men lost.

Been a while since I was up there but pretty sure there are a few places up the North Shore that do a good job of describing things in greater detail (my best guess would be Split Rock Lighthouse?).

I always love going to Duluth and the North Shore and seeing the ships, and the cheese curds in the food trucks at the docks are pretty damn good too (I'm a sucker for good fried cheese curds, what can I say?). Are Betty's Pies (or whatever her name is/was) still a big deal?
