LOL Nick, you've grown on me a lot from when I first watched one of your videos. Not afraid to drop the occasional expletive, but for the most part your vocabulary is pretty clean, and you drop a lot of interesting tidbits (e.g. local history, humor, etc.) to make it enjoyable to watch your videos. Anyway, Marquette reminds me of some Maine coastal towns, where crime is almost nil, VERY close-nit townsfolk. And seeing that I spent my IDYLLIC formative years in small town Maine (Lakes Region), watching this brings back similar (and very good!) memories. Keep doing your thing, putting out more great videos.

Finnish country! My grandmother was born in Helskinki in 1910, moved to the UP in 1912, and soon after her father was killed in the Victoria copper mine near Ontanogan. Fortunately her mother had the support of the Finnish community up there. The terrain is very much like Finland, which I was able to visit twice and meet her cousins there. Love that part of Michigan!

A person who moved from the Lower Peninsula to Ishpeming told me how nice the people up there were. He said when he and his wife bought a house up there, the neighbors asked how they liked it. "It's fine," said the wife, "except for the color [it was an ugly shade of light yellow]." The neighbors asked, "What color would you prefer?" The wife told them what color she liked. They went back down to Lower Michigan to pick up their furniture. When the got back, the neighbors had painted the house exactly the way the wife wanted, buying the paint at their expense. He said that even though frigid in climate, the hearts of the people were warm.

Not that cold here anymore. Maybe a week here or there into the teens, but mostly above freezing during the winter. We have to drive to the UP (this year we had to go all the way to whitefish) if we want to cross country ski or go snow shoeing. Occasionally we'll get a snowstorm and get a few days of skiing before it melts. Nothing like it was 20 years ago.

Thanks for making this video! Yeah, I've been to Michigan only twice, both times for work, and although I didn't get to see the UP, almost everyone in MI seems to talk about it a lot. The people were very nice! I did visit a place called Pere Marquette, but it wasn't anything special. As someone from a cold country in Europe with long cold winters, it seemed like a place I could really get into if I wanted to live in the USA, which I don't.

I stumbled across your video on my KZitem feed. I grew up in a small village in the UP. We had about a hundred people in it, nothing but woods north to Lake Superior, south to Lake Michigan. I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything, I still live up here. I am 67 and was a truck driver and know how unique the place is.

I like Labatt, but I like Grain Belt more. Fantastic video Nick! The ice fishing part brought me back to my childhood in Minnesota. The "we don't lock our homes, cars...crime???" was precious. That's the way it was when I grew up. That place is like a preserved living time capsule. I will be moving to Wisconsin. There are rural places like that there. Places where common sense and morals still prevail.

I had my house broken into in Wisconsin and the UP and my doors were locked. I now sleep with a gun and keep doors locked at all times. Morals are not any better in either place. Please be very careful in Wisconsin. I was assaulted by a tweaker and police did nothing. I was robbed many many times there. Wisconsin is crawling with tweakers in every small town.

My grandma used to talk about going to Thunderbay. She was raised I Ottawa CA after emigrating from England in 1900. The went there because the Bore Wars were going on and who had time for that. My grandfather also grew up in Ottawa. His mom and dad emigrated from Ireland. If you're a McAuley in Ottawa, we're probably related, lol. But they emigrated to Detroit after ww1. My mom loved Detroit. She went to the grave pissed my dad moved her to rural Ohio for work.

It is a university town, with literally half the population under 23 years old. The rest of the county is like the rest of the up. Can't really blame the Yoopers for not liking the city people and what they bring. Congestion, complaints, and littering... the only upside is they drop money.

My son and I had a great pizza In Marquette. We were on our way from southern Ontario to Calgary south of the border. We took a drive up the Keewatin Penninsula to see the lighthouse and a better look at the lake. It was a twisty turny drive deep through woods but it was worth it.

This is the tough time of year up there. The rest of the country is getting into spring while Northern Michigan still has two more months of winter. High today is 33 with snow on the way. You get a couple days in late March and early April when the highs get into the 60s and the sun seems strong You think you're safe, and then Mother Nature unloads more weeks of snow and blizzards. I lived full time in Northern Michigan for two years, and experienced a blizzard on Mother's Day. The short summers (about June 15 to September 15) are delightful in the awesome beauty of the land and splendid days, but you have to wait a long time for them to arrive.
