Duluth is a pretty cool small city. You have to be into the outdoors to really appreciate it though. In the winter it's brutally cold and really snowy. The views of Lake Superior are amazing, and it is home to Trampled by Turtles and Cloud Cult. It is a post/semi-post industrial city though, so for the uninitiated, it can seem a bit rough around the edges.
For starters winters are brutal, cold and windy. Streets are like San Francisco - but Icy, snowy, steep and HILLY - being situated on the bluffs/hills of Superior
But outside of the city are lots of lakes, cabins, snowmobiling, skiing - downhill and cross country. Hockey is YUGE.
Rest of the year its pretty decent. Lots of hiking, biking, trails, hunting and fishing. Big time 'hippy culture' up there too. Lots of outdoor activities.
If you not into any winter activities during the 4-5 months of cold, wind and ice, then your probably going to miserable. If you are then you might enjoy it.
It’s mad cold in the winter. And hilly.
It gets pretty desolate north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. It's fine if you're into that sort of thing.

(Is that what you were asking about?)
If there's two things I love it's beaches and snow. Also I often go to St. Louis so I doubt I'd consider it rough.
I heard from some friends who used to go yearly for a weekend that it trended left about 5 years ago...

Never been to SF so I don't know what you're talking about with the roads. Also I would rather deal with extreme cold than extreme heat.
I would highly suggest taking a visit there before you make any decisions.
