Hi Friends,  
This is a long shot, but it's Reddit and you never know...

I am aware that before the built the high bridge (technically "Blatnik" bridge, but iykyk) in Duluth there was a community of people who lived right at the base of the bridge at the v end of Garfield Ave.   
My mom (now mid 70's) lived there as a tot. And so did my aunts and uncles. It sounds like a magical place of family and community and watching out for each other the way a lot of folks remember that era. (it was poor, of course: they had outhouses instead of flush toilets - but so rich in other ways!)  
When the high bridge was built the community was displaced and folks moved onto the hill, scattered across the city.

**I'm looking for images of that neighborhood -** ANY images whatsoever. 

It's a needle in a haystack, if any photos even exist. 

Anyone? 🤞

Thanks.

2 Old Ovens

American Rifleman Magazine January 1966

In May of 2022 I tried to find out what this is. It was found at a old farmhouse in Northern Minnesota along with 2 others. 1 was the same and the other one was chewed up by mice. I made this subreddit and posted it in there because I couldn't figure out what it was. Me and my grandpa thought it had something to do with photography. Now 2 years later I thought I should post about it again in the group so more people could see it and maybe solve the mystery but then I thought " What if I use Google lens to find it?" The original photo didn't work but I found the old box and took a new photo of it and I finally found out what it is. A fumigator to get rid of something is what I believe it said. There is a article about it online and you can see more of the photos of it if you go to https://collections.sea.museum/objects/14680/fumigation-pellet-from-the-medicine-chest-of-the-samuel-plim;jsessionid=D72CB5E84B264B2DEF3836B4D2F6A452

"Hinckley Fire Museum" by Comtesse (September 8, 2013), "Julie writes:": "...fire started in the sky, like a huge ball of flames. The townspeople were so terrified, they crowded onto the only transportation out of town at that time, the train....Then, the ball of fire...swooped down on the train..."
