Getting Bridged with Gar and Kelli

About Getting Bridged with Gar and Kelli

Gar and Kelli, lifelong Duluth, Minnesota, residents, chat over the places in Duluth with stories that need to be told. It's light on history and heavy on nostalgia, and when you're waiting in line for the Arial Lift Bridge to come back down as a Laker is heading through, this might be just what you need.

   Who doesn't love the mall?

   Gar and Kelli talk about the history of the Miller Hill Mall...one of the first in the nation! The cover photo of this episode is the interior of JCPenney when the mall opened. Want to learn more about mall history? Head on down to the Duluth Public Library to the second floor local history section. You won't be sorry!

   Oh, the awkwardness: Junior High

   Gar and Kelli talk about his junior high experience at the old Lincoln Junior High School. Swimming pools and shillelaghs?? Yes sir! Thanks to the Duluth Public Library for...well...everything, really, but most especially for the assistance in finding information about Lincoln Junior.
