Anyone living in Northern Michigan?

I live in Grand Rapids!

I'm on the sunrise side.Out in the boonies north of Bay City.

Cool bg1968! Have you checked out Wayback Audio in Grandville or Misfitz in Grand Rapids? Great staff & vibe at both places. Also, for music, Vertigo is one of my favorite record stores anywhere.

Few Finns still alive up near Hancock.

I have a (retired professor) relative with a log cabin up there on Lake Superior and it is certainly a beautiful area.
Rest assured, the Finns are alive and well - last time I was up there the place was crawling with Finns.

West counties of UP are the only truly rural counties that vote Democrat
in the entire USA .

Why ? Finns were very liberal when they got here .They never left till after Russian Czar started to draft Finns for WW 1 . The time one was drafted for was 30 years ! Mad rush out of Finland
 for nearest ship to Canada and USA .  A few even joined the German army .
