I've ordered from this place twice and had the exact same experience: ridiculously unbelievable wowness. I ordered this THREE DAYS AGO and now it's here. HOW. My post office is legit burned down and this was still here in three days! Look at what they sent me! All I ordered was two packs of greeting cards that I could use to whine to my friends about pandemic life! And they sent me this thoughtful, beautiful thing! What the hell is your problem, Everyone Else? Big Lake is beating the pants off of you! PS. I just turned the card over and there's a handwritten note wtfwtfwtfwtf JUST TAKE MY WALLET.

St Francis Xavier Catholic / Chippewa Church- Driving by you think oh what a cute, quaint church…read more At least that's what I always thought until I actually visited. Walking up the steps and into the church it was very Inviting. The high blue ceiling gave the place great energy. We sat down in the pews and had a conversation including discussing stations of the cross. We learned that no religious type service has been performed since 1936. Walking to the back of the church we found a font of history with Alta Mcquarter. We learned so much from her about the fire, people settling in Lutsen (White Sky) and about the book. It's impressive the documentation there is of the people trough time. The time it must take her to go through obituaries, cut them out and add to book is a true dedication. We are lucky to have her. I highly recommend a stop. Could have stayed all day in the peaceful pew but really talking with Alta and Gary was the proverbial ice to the sore knee I needed after the Voyageur 5K. Thank you.

It has a loop so when you go as far north as you can, it loops around the block and goes south again - all the way to Mobile, Alabama but here, in Ontonagon, the Nonesuch Gallery sells some of the coolest stuff you can imagine. Oh, and if you need strings for your guitar or banjo, they have those, too. I sat out front with my buddy who seems to be a cousin of Charlie McCarthy's. He was wearing a hat that says, "Life is good, eh? In Ontonagon, Michigan." He told me I needed one, so I bought one. And an official Stormy Kromer hat, too. If you find yourself in Da Yoop someday, and you find yourself running north on US 45, take a run to Ontonagon and visit the Nonesuch Gallery. It's worth the trip to Da Yoop by itself, eh?
