About Duluth
Minnesota, MN.
Duluth is a major port city in the U.S. state of Minnesota and the county seat
of Saint Louis County. And is the second-largest city on Lake Superior's shores;
after Thunder Bay, Ontario, in Canada, it has the largest metropolitan area on
the lake. Situated on the north shore of Lake Superior at the westernmost point
of the Great Lakes, Duluth is accessible to oceangoing vessels from the Atlantic
Ocean 2,300 miles away via the Great Lakes Waterway and the Saint Lawrence
Seaway. Duluth forms a metropolitan area with neighboring Superior, Wisconsin,
called the Twin Ports. The cities share the Duluth–Superior harbor and together
are the Great Lakes' largest port, transporting coal, iron ore (taconite), and
grain. A tourist destination for the Midwest, Duluth features the United States'
only all-freshwater aquarium, the Great Lakes Aquarium; the Aerial Lift Bridge,
which spans the Duluth Ship Canal into the Duluth–Superior Harbor; and Minnesota
Point (known locally as Park Point), the world's longest freshwater baymouth
bar, spanning 6 miles. The city is also the starting point for vehicle trips
along Minnesota's North Shore. The city is named for Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du
Lhut, the first known European explorer of the area. During the 20th century,
the Port of Duluth was for a time the busiest port in the United States,
surpassing even New York City in gross tonnage. Lake freighters carried iron ore
through the Great Lakes to processing plants in Illinois and Ohio. Ten
newspapers, six banks and an 11-story skyscraper, the Torrey Building, were
founded and built. At the beginning of the 21st century, Duluth has become a
regional epicenter for banking, retail shopping, and medical care for northern
Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and northwestern Michigan. It is estimated that
more than 8,000 jobs in Duluth are directly related to its two hospitals. Arts
and entertainment offerings, as well as year-round recreation and the natural
environment, have contributed to expansion of the tourist industry. Some 3.5
million visitors each year contribute more than $400 million to the local
economy. Even as the city has grown, its populace has tended to hug Lake
Superior's shoreline, so Duluth is primarily a southwest–northeast city. The
considerable development on the hill has given Duluth many steep streets. Some
neighborhoods, such as Piedmont Heights and Bayview Heights, are atop the hill
with scenic views of the city. Skyline Parkway is a scenic roadway that extends
from Becks Road above the Gary – New Duluth neighborhood near the western end of
the city to the Lester Park neighborhood on the east side. It crosses nearly
Duluth's entire length and affords views of Lake Superior, the Aerial Lift
Bridge, Canal Park, and the many industries that inhabit the largest inland
port.

tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate
birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism.
Pagans thought that evil spirits lurked on days of major
changes, like the day you turn a year older.

contrary, a birthday signifies your beginning and the joy of
life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important
and momentous occasion not be be understated. It is a time
to celebrate, reflect and give thanks.
Why do we celebrate birthdays with cake?

goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented
the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.
Who was the first person to celebrate a birthday?

from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the
pharaohs as “gods,” the Greeks were celebrating their gods

birthdays for the common man (but just the men).

75 so on and so forth.

start putting candles on birthday cakes?
The round cakes represented the moon, with candles adding
light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa
layer cakes were especially popular for first birthdays. In
the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.

do you not celebrate your birthday?
While almost all Christians accept the practice today,
Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its
connections to magic and superstitions.
What is the birthday bumps?
"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
