“Before it was Duluth’s most up-and-coming neighborhood, with fashionable breweries and farm-to-table restaurants, the Lincoln Park Craft District was called the West End. Although it shares the same physical geography with the Lincoln Park Craft District, it can sometimes feel like a world apart. Nik Nerburn documented several years of the neighborhood’s transformation, making portraits and recording interviews in Carr Hobbies, the Seaway Hotel, Randy’s Cafe, and other once-familiar neighborhood joints. The words of neighborhood residents are woven together with dreamlike black-and-white photographs of interiors, individuals, and landscapes.”
