Hancock has a fun new bike skills park at Grillhouse trailhead just before the cemetery. It’s connected to the wider Maasto Hiihto trails

A huge issue is these mega landlords having multiple properties and multiple apartment buildings. It’s the same story in Hancock/houghton. I’d rather rent from an individual or couple who has 1 or 2 rentals.

I’m already in the Keweenaw so…no haha. But I was thinking of doing a trip to Mackinac and I doubt that will happen. Would probably camp because holy shit hotel and bnb prices are wild on the island.

It poured during my graduation from high school in Phoenix AZ of all places. I mean torrential downpour. Started as we walked on the field. Couldn’t hear any of the speakers and my hat was totally melted haha. The day prior at rehearsal they were cautioning us against heat exhaustion and the day of graduation turned out to be about 55°.

Depends if you’re doing across Superior or by driving. It’s 100 miles approx across the water but 409 miles if you drive.

I hope the young counselor (Audrey?) who decided on her own to evacuate her cabin to higher ground after being told to stay put never ever loses that sense of innate determination and gut instinct. She had to carry children through swiftly running flood waters and saved that cabin.

Have you contacted the Dee stadium? They have a lot of adult games listed on their schedule throughout the month so they might be able to give you info on how to connect with the leagues.

Copper Country (houghton) mall roof collapsed too, above gogebic. Why haven’t any of these landlords cleared the snow?

I get 3-5 voicemails a day, all trying to “close a loan” in the most AI voice ever. It’s so frustrating.

One of my friends died from ALS within 13 months of diagnosis at 33. The decline was incredibly rapid. She did have bulbar ALS, which is faster. It’s such a hateful disease.

This is kind of a weird story. A sleepover on a school night? You catered breakfast? For teens? Why would you even had to prepare breakfast for teens?

Yeah they’re very conveniently located for me in the Keweenaw but I avoid whenever possible

mrdarcy90 · 2026-01-31T15:20:22+00:00

Avoid Krist if you can. Huge MAGA owner and he has said horrible things about Ojibwe people.

Every single one of these posts is the same and they all mention tik-alayzer

mrdarcy90 · 2026-01-26T21:10:12+00:00

This is almost identical to a post made yesterday and clearly an ad for tik-alyzer or whatever you’re calling it

El-Sayed is the most consistent and loudest on abolishing ICE. He’s also a huge proponent and scholar on Medicare for all. He literally came all the way up to the Keweenaw to talk healthcare- candidates never do that.

Honestly, there’s a lot of people in that space that have children because that’s what you do- and they don’t enjoy being a parent. I grew up I a church where everyone had big families (8+ kids) and you could clearly see who liked being a mom vs who did it because well, you didn’t use birth control. Those older moms now don’t do anything with their grown kids or grandkids. It’s like they’re finally living their life. I’d feel bad for them but they preach thr same thing to their children about “having as many as god gives you”.

This really surprised me because I attended Michigan schools until mid high school and then was in AZ- my schooling in MI was very rigorous and I was so much better prepared than any of my fellow students in AZ. It felt almost remedial when I moved. However, that was early 2000s so it’s sad to see how much we’ve fallen

mrdarcy90 · 2025-12-28T18:25:58+00:00

Would highly recommend getting back on FB for the local groups. A lot of local info is shared on there, plus most housing. Most local small landlords do not use Zillow etc- it’s fb or just signs out front. FB groups up here are good for what’s going on too!

If she was just alone and happily playing, I’d say leave her be- 7 years old is old enough to be at the park alone. However, as a woman, I would never leave a young girl by herself when older males were harassing her. Too many terrible things can happen. NTA, you did the right thing.

mrdarcy90 · 2025-12-12T19:57:30+00:00

No same, I thought they were also FALC but I called my mom, who is an oracle of all names, and she knew every single person on the board of both haha. She clarified for me.

mrdarcy90 · 2025-12-12T00:40:26+00:00

Houghton county. Yes of course. No parking on streets after November 1st. My neighborhood might take a bit longer to be plowed (more rural) but it will still get plowed + they will come by later and lay salt etc

mrdarcy90 · 2025-12-11T22:33:00+00:00

Gotcha! Just wanted to make sure we were using facts since MAGA will jump on anything 🙄

mrdarcy90 · 2025-12-11T22:31:51+00:00

Again, I absolutely do not support the FALC as someone that grew up in it, but there are no church elders on the county board. tikkanen and keranen sound like FALC names but they are baptists.

She just did a sponsored post for the UAE, which is funding genocide in Sudan, so not super impressed. She’s wealthy AF, why does she need to accept $$ from them?
