“WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT VISIT DULUTH’S LIVE CAM”
“I just found your Aerial Bridge Street Cam on the Internet. Oh I just love the instant cam update. We just love visiting Duluth, and the North Shore, as I was born up there many years ago. (Before the High Bridge was built.) I remember going across the railroad bridge from Duluth to Superior.....
Thanks again for the nice site. I have sent the link to many of my friends. Keep up the great work!!”
Arlyn R. from Shakopee, MN
