This summer Google has been mapping parks in northwestern Ontario, including the Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
Lake Superior Day is Sunday!
Lake Superior Day – or perhaps more properly called Lake Superior Day/s, since the festivities now span almost an entire week – kicked off early in the week with a Duluth scavenger hunt, a Marine Day open house in Superior, Wisconsin, and a slew of activities at Duluth's Park Point Beach.
The fun has only begun, though. To see a listing of weekend Lake Superior Day events around the Lake, visit our page for this year's celebration. We'll post photos there and on Facebook and Twitter.
In Duluth, look for our table outside the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center and Marine Museum in Canal Park, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. On Lake Superior Day proper, we'll also be interviewing people for a video project. Tell us why you love Lake Superior and you'll receive a gift in return.
Effort abandoned to save 111-year-old freighter as museum ship
Brady Slater, Duluth News Tribune:
The laker J.B. Ford’s days as a survivor appear to be numbered. Having made it through the storms of 1905 and 1913 that counted dozens of ships among its casualties, the Ford will succumb to old age.
+ Google Canada has spent the last few weeks mapping several Ontario parks for its Street View project. From the news release: "[T]he Google Team was at Pukaskwa National Park, Sault Ste. Marie Canal and Fort St. Joseph National Historic Sites, and Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area, doing image collection at the sites."
+ Guy Fieri, host of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," visited the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior this week to film at several local restaurants, reports Maria Lockwood in the Superior Telegram.
+ In other restaurant news, the Vanilla Bean Café in Two Harbors, Minnesota, has a new owner.
+ Rick Olivo, Ashland Daily Press, on the Bayfield Regional Conservancy: "For the past 18 years, one organization has been quietly working to conserve and protect some of the most special places of northwest Wisconsin."
