Why: Talking about her hometown Duluth, MN, Rachel said:
tall ships passing under aerial lift bridge into the harbor.
Park Point, also known as Minnesota Point. 7 miles of natural sand beach that separates the harbor from lake superior. My dad grew up in a house on the harbor side. People have to pass over the aerial lift bridge to get from the peninsula to the mainland. Their lives are constantly affected by ships going in and out and raising the bridge.That bridge looks crazy. Does it go straight up and down or what?
Answer: It totally does!
