PopSpots is a website about those places where interesting events in the history of Pop Culture took place; primarily album cover shots, places where movies and tv shows were filmed, and sites on which paintings were based. Many are from Manhattan, where I live. Manhattan is constantly being torn down and rebuilt anew, and I'm trying to find these places while they are still around. Thanks for visiting.

HOWARD STREET : Hibbing's Main Street

HOWARD STREET is the Main East-West business street in Hibbing, a place where young Bob Zimmerman would have hung ot a lot.

It's main part is about 6 blocks long - from 1st Avenue to 7th Avenue.

In the documentary No Direction Home Dylan remembers it: "It was maybe three blocks one way, and maybe three blocks the other way, and that was like a main street where all the department stores were . . ."

Back then the larger department stores included Woolworth's, Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penny, Sears Roebuck (catalogue sales), and Ace Stores. As in many towns, they are all gone now and replaced by smaller stores. A Walmart Supercenter and a Lowe's are on the south end of town.

Listed below, in orderm are the stores, bars, restaurants, and gas stations that were open during Bob's teenage years. You can see their names in old photos of Howard Street. The list was made from a reverse telephone dictionary from 1958, courtesy of the Hibbing Historical Society.
