Kelli tells Gar all about a piece of Duluth history he was too busy to remember: the Harbor Square Mall and Ridgewood Mall Smackdown.

Thanks to Perfect Duluth Day for the cover art for this episode, which can be found here: Harbor Square Mall

Gar and Kelli talk about the history of the Miller Hill Mall...one of the first in the nation!

The cover photo of this episode is the interior of JCPenney when the mall opened. Want to learn more about mall history? Head on down to the Duluth Public Library to the second floor local history section. You won't be sorry!

Gar and Kelli talk about his junior high experience at the old Lincoln Junior High School. Swimming pools and shillelaghs?? Yes sir!

Thanks to the Duluth Public Library for...well...everything, really, but most especially for the assistance in finding information about Lincoln Junior.

Let's go on vacation! Gar talks about his trips around These United States as a kid, always in August, and always in cars without air conditioning. This is part one in a two-part series on EPIC family vacations.

Kelli revels in the joy of birthdays past while Gar's recollections are as stoic as his Swedish family.

Thanks to Wikimedia Commons for the episode pic of Chuck E. Cheese and to Perfect Duluth Day for their dates on the now-closed roller rink.

The Presents! The Food! The Individual Strings of Tinsel!

Gar and Kelli talk about The Best Christmas Memories...their own.

Gar and Kelli walk through the history of the Duluth Public Library...and they aren't quiet about it!

Black cat costumes, a fishing game, and a stuffed guy named George...oh my! It's Halloween Getting Bridged-style!
