I am very interested in moving to Duluth in the near future. So I guess my question is what does Duluth offer that a city in Iowa doesn't? What is Duluth like? I heard there are a lot of rednecks? Is that true?

Duluth offers a fabulous location perched on the hills overlooking Lake Superior.

Duluth is beautiful, and offers you a doorway to some pretty cool wildnerness in northern Minnesota. We lived in the Twin Cities for 8 years, and went up to Duluth for mini-vacations at least once a year. I would have loved to live there except for one thing---the snow. Lots and lots of snow. Yes, we had lots of snow in the Twin Cities, but the lake effect snow in Duluth...I saw pictures, and it was scary. You'd need an industrial sized snowblower, lol.

I'd take Duluth over any city in Iowa (except for the tons of snow). The Canal Park area is beautiful, and my kids loved driving up north along, oh darn, what highway is that, to Gooseberry Falls State Park.

No shortage of rednecks in Iowa or MN, if you ask me. The differenece is they tend to call them jackpine savages here.

Duluth is a major international port city, something Iowa doesn't have, and I suspect Lake Superior offers better surfing than you can find anywhere in Iowa.

Default Here is the deal

I am strongly considering taking my girlfriend up to Duluth. I am planning on asking her to marry me by Lake Superior. She will be 20 and I am 19, I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap yet decent hotels. Since we are both college kids, and fairly poor haha . Also, if anyone could give me some tips on planning a trip to Duluth, or tips on things to do, that would be great. Are the attractions expensive or are they basically free? What is the best month to visit?

By the way does proposing to my girlfriend by Lake Superior sound pretty cool or not?

Depends what time of the year you come up, for good hotel rates. I forgot what motel it was off of 27th, on the freeway, but they have rooms for cheap. Otherwise, Duluth in general is expensive for rooms.

Used to be a Days Inn up by the mall. Pretty cheap rooms there, but I'm not sure if it is still there.
