Steamship America: A North Shore Legend

Before high speed internet, telephones and even Highway 61, Minnesota's North Shore was connected by water--specifically a fleet of sailing vessels and steamers that hauled mail, fish, freight and passengers to communities up and down the remote coastline. The Steamer America was a star in the early 1900s, with her speed and relative luxury she became a vital lifeline and a friend to many.

Remembering Place: A Cemetery Story

Cemeteries are hallowed places right in our midst. But they also reflect the community, and have evolved dramatically over time, constantly adapting to meet our ever-changing views and values.

Minneapolis Past

Celebrate the days when the Foshay Tower was the tallest building in town; when visitors viewed the bizarre attractions of Wonderland Amusement Park on East Lake Street; when St Anthony Falls was rough and unharnessed, with enough raw energy to create the greatest milling district in history; and when eagles soared above now-vanished Spirit Island.

Lost Twin Cities II

An affectionate trip down memory lane that looks at: the car culture of the '50s, when University Avenue was a drag strip and Porky's a fabulous drive-in pit stop, the ultra-luxurious Stratocruiser, the first plane to offer in-flight beverage service, the burning of Swede Hollow, the big-band ballrooms of the 50s and the early days of Twin Cities TV including "Axel and His Dog".

Electronicle 1980

News and culture features from an old Twin Cities PBS current affairs program offer a unique flashback to Minnesota at the dawn of the 80s.
