You have a strange gleeful tone about the churches being closed. I think it’s admirable that when the mining shut down and the population dropped 90% they repurposed some well built church buildings. I own a house in Calumet I hope to retire in. It’s a nice small UP community.

It has been two years since I shared this video, and found it confusing that you would say we sounded gleeful about closed churches, so I watched it again. I believe you have misunderstood us. Calumet is a lovely town with beautiful church buildings. We love to see old buildings, especially from the inside, if possible, which is why we went into the restore. We were not gleeful over the closure of churches. I will admit that we were almost gleeful over the sight of so much snow. While we live in the Upper Peninsula ourselves, and are used to dealing with a ton of snow, we do not get the snow that Calumet gets and found it fascinating. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best of luck to you in your retirement in Calumet. If you record your own video of the town, I would love to see it.

I did debate calling it a Visit to Calumet, but there was so much snow on the roads at that time, it seemed an appropriate title.
