[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1031880, member: 17953"] Not changing the subject, but back in the late 60s, my wife and I nearly bought a home in the ghost town of Michigamme. I loved it up there, and the fishing on the lake was amazing. At the time, there really wasn't anyone living there. A real ghost town, but the buildings were still in fairly decent repair. A small city, abandoned. We would have only been able to use it for long long holidays, and vacations, because of our work. That's what stopped it from happening. We wouldn't have been able to be there often enough to enjoy it. While up there, we went to the bar where they filmed Anatomy of a Murder back in the early 50s. It was still the same as it was back then, and they told us about the filming they also did in Michigamme. That was for lunch, and we were the only customers, but the food was so darned good that we decided to go back for supper. We were amazed that they could stay in business with no customers. When we got back there that evening, there was a wedding party going on, and there was literally over 100 cars. We went inside, and despite the crowd, they got us a table, and we ended up right in the middle of the festivities. We didn't get out of there until well after midnight, and we were treated like we were old friends by everyone. Yoopers are a special breed of people. If there are better ones out there, it would have to be proven to me. We went back to the general area several times, and enjoyed each trip. Your home town is a great one. It's been about 50 years since we were in Marquette, but I remember going to a restaurant that served the best darned lake perch I ever had on a Friday night. It was an "all you can eat" special, and by the time I left there that night, I think I was growing gills! [/QUOTE]
