Duluth, MN

--------
Duluth is an inland seaport located in north-east Minnesota. With a 2055
population of around 125,000 (plus 45,000 in Superior), it boasts an
excellent center of economic and cultural enrichment. In addition,
surrounding American Indian populations have helped to turn this city
into a center of magical study. Boasts three universities, an
international airport, manufacturing and a seaport/rail center. Will
also include a writeup on the city of Superior, WI, which is right
across the bay from Duluth.

Message no. 2 Now that I take a look at it, it'll be interesting to hear about
the Shadowrun version of a city that's not large enough to be called a
metropolis, and not likely to become a sprawl or be incorporated into a
larger city.
This could really be a great project if everybody can find the
time to devote to it all. *grin*

Duluth is unlike any city I've ever seen. It's at least 180 miles from
any city of substantial size (Minneapolis/St. Paul), so it has to
essentially support ALL of the needs of the citizens, plust the needs of
all the cities of north-east Minnesota. This leads to a very large
cultural and educational base (three large colleges [U of Minnesota Duluth,
U of Wisconson. Superior, and a religious private school called St.
Scholastica], a huge tech school [Duluth Technical College], and other
lesser institutions).

The fact it is also a seaport leads to a huge amount of shipping traffic
(mostly grain, coal, and iron-ore). To the north fo Duluth is the Iron
Range, which has (right now) about to dozen strip-mining operations that
is pulling iron out of the ground. There is also a beginning of drilling
for oil, gold, silver, and uranium. Plus timber. This leads to Duluth
being a huge rail-centre as well.

Tourism is also another major industry. With six months of snow (about
14 feet a year, average), you get the winter crowd. When summer comes,
the temperature is in the mid to high seventies, and you get fishing and
hiking and other nature stuff. Plus, Lake Superior is the largest
fresh-water lake in the world, and is relatively clean as far as polution
goes.

All in all, it's just a great city. Pick up a map and you'll see what I
mean.

Yea. I want to get at least 12 cities. If they were all on par with the
Las Vegas or Pueblo writeup, that will be some GREAT material.
