Cities > popular all-time > Elevator Shaft, Jax Building; Saint Paul, Minnesota

This old cage elevator is in the Jax Building in downtown Saint Paul. Judging by the dust, it's not used very much. I held the camera over the top of the wire screen and took the photo.
Cities > popular all-time > The Edgar B. Speer in the Ship Canal; Duluth, Minnesota

These 1000 foot lake boats were designed to fit the Poe Lock at the Soo. They are massive, powerful, and slightly less pretty than a cement block. But when they loom out of frost smoke, they're very impressive and even mysterious.

The locks at Sault Saint Marie, Michigan and Ontario closed for the season on Thursday, January 15. The Edgar B. Speer and Edwin H. Gott were the last Lakers to arrive in Duluth for winter lay-up on Friday, January 16, 2009. They had quite a fight with ice and arrived better than two days late.

The Edgar B. Speer is 1004 feet long and was launched in 1980. For more information: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/speer.htm

Cities > popular all-time > Cathedral of Saint Paul; Saint Paul, Minnesota

The Cathedral of Saint Paul is one of Saint Paul's greatest landmarks. It looks out over downtown with a monumental presence. The church was the child of Archbishop John Ireland and architect Emmanuel Manqueray. Construction took eight years and the building was dedicated in 1915. Interior work continued through the 1930's. A very expensive exterior restoration ran 2001 to 2003. It included tuckpointing the granite facades and sheathing the central dome in 100,000 square feet of copper.
