up a hill a few blocks northeast of downtown. Dylan lived on the top floor until age
six, when his family moved inland to Hibbing. It's a private residence (and un-
marked), so all you can do is stare from the street.
Sleeping
Duluth has several B&Bs; rooms cost at least $125 in the summer. Check Duluth Histor-
ic Inns ( www.duluthbandb.com ) for listings. The town's accommodations fill up fast in
summer, which may mean you'll have to try your luck across the border in Superior,
Wisconsin (where it's cheaper too).
