The Superior Telegram recently released a new episode of Archive Dive, which is a monthly history podcast where we “dive” into the archives of historic events, people and places in Superior and Douglas County.

In this month’s episode, we search for retooled school buildings in Superior.

Many former schools have found a new life after the final bell. Some are apartments. Others are a church, a business center or something else. We dive into ages, dates and histories. When were they built? How long did they last? What are they now?

Telegram reporter Maria Lockwood is joined by frequent guest Teddie Meronek, who is a local historian and retired librarian, take us on a verbal tour neighborhood by neighborhood, discussing such schools as Itasca, St. Anthony and Margaret, Benjamin Franklin, Lincoln, East, St. Francis, St. Adalbert, St. Louis, Carpenter, MaCaskill and more.

You can find that episode at superiortelegram.com or wherever you also get this podcast. You can find additional episodes here.

In case you missed last month’s episode, we are resharing it here. In August, Maria and Briana Fiandt, curator of collections for the Richard I. Bong Veterans Center in Superior, discuss the life of John Blatnik in an episode titled "the hero the Blatnik Bridge is named for." Enjoy!

In this special weekend episode, Duluth News Tribune arts and entertainment reporter Jay Gabler shares his most recent article in his weekly column, "Front Row Seat." Today's topic is: "Duluth's real secret isn't the lake — it's the hill."
