This here is a subreddit for Sault Ste. Marie, which is sometimes nicknamed Suzanne Marie since it's short form Sue is pronounced the same as Sault, sometimes called "The Soo".

This here is a subreddit for Sault Ste. Marie, which is sometimes nicknamed Suzanne Marie since it's short form Sue is pronounced the same as Sault, sometimes called "The Soo".

This subreddit covers posts about the eastern Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, and the St. Marys River area near Ontario Canada, yup, Ste. Marie is French for St. Mary, this is how the city name Sault Ste. Marie came about, and a malapropism such as Suzanne Marie had a good ring to it, this is why we used the r/SuzanneMarie namespace for this one.

/r/Michigan_Memories, a subreddit for nostalgia of Michigan, and for current Michigan memories that might become nostalgia later on.

60 years since the construction of the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge, a 2023 Edition Michigan state map from MDOT has a banner that commemorates that

☘️ Happy belated Birthday Bernt Gilbertson ☘️

the guy who enabled construction of the 548 bridge to St. Joseph Island.

His birthday is on St. Patricks Day, and he shares a birthday with Patrick Duffy.

Since Patrick Duffy was in Step By Step, there was a lady named Suzanne with Marie as her middle name, Suzanne Somers, who, in a way is the unofficial mascot of this subreddit about Sault Ste. Marie, since there was some synchronicity of the identify of infrastructure layout that prompted me to mention her lots.

and also, the letters of the name Suzanne add up to number 548 if you add up UPPERCASE ASCII values, yup, The Soo!

Interstate 75 - Michigan (Exits 394 to 386) southbound [VIDEO] (2021)

When I told somebody that I-75's final exit number before the International Bridge was also the sum of the UPPERCASE ASCII values of the letters of the name Susan, they said that it was a "stretch".

(chuckles)

#YEAH!!!! A stretch of highway!

but there's another meaning to what they said.

Obviously they didn't see the excitement that comes from the fact that Sault uses "Sue" as a pronunciation, although "Soo" is the semi-official spelling of the shortened variant.

anyway...

83 + 85 + 83 + 65 + 14 = 394

see what I mean by that?

I've found more reasons to bring up the name Susan (or Suzanne, or other cognates) when talking about Sault Ste. Marie aside of just mentioning residents that live there, or "Soo" being a pronunciation for Sue and Sault.

I've already explained the synchronicity that some technical characteristics have with actress Suzanne Somers, and I've previously pointed out that the UPPERCASE ASCII VALUES of the letters of the French name Suzanne, another vairant of "Susan" add up to number 548 which is a route on St. Joseph Island.

83 + 85 + 90 + 65 + 78 + 78 + 69 = 548

see what I mean with that one as well?

Even the most diehard aficionados of The Soo miss out on factoids that others described as "a stretch".

But, one thing that challenges the acknowledgment of it being a coincidence, is that the nth letter sum of the letters of the name Susan is 74, one unit short of the highway number with EXIT 394, but it's fair to say that the Spanish name Susana, another "Soo" name checks out as 75 for it's nth letter sum.

But if you look at southern Michigan, another major Interstate route has the nth letter sum of the letters of the similar name Suzanna, that being I-96. What do ya know, more "Soo" names.

again, synchronicity like this shouldn't go ignored, and besides this is how I came up with the idea of /r/SuzanneMarie as a namespace for a Sault Ste. Marie subeditor, well, if one can detect malapropisms, that should make some sense.

Another reason why I talk about the ASCII standard while talking about The Soo also has to do with Bob Bemer, he was born in The Soo, and he invented ASCII later on.

at 60 SUBSCRIBERS, I shall point out more factoids!

At 60 SUBSCRIBERS, I shall point out some synchronicity regarding number 60's input as digits on other BASE-n number systems, Octal (BASE-8), Decimal (BASE-10, the one we usually use), Hexadecimal (BASE 16).

vertical axis is entered digits

|OCT|DEC|HEX ---|---|---|--- OCT|((60))|48, like in M-48 near Rudyard|30 DEC|74, as in the digits of the BASE-10 nth letter sum of the letters of the name Susan|((60))|3C, as in Three's Company HEX|140|96, as in, the BASE 10 digits of the sum of the letters of the name Suzanna|((60))

horizontal axis is output digits


As you can see above, the names in bold text are a name that Sue is the diminutive form of, since we're also talking about an area of Michigan called The Soo.

Also, italics are used to refer to an easter egg that digits 3C can refer to, which involve a TV show that a lady named "Suzanne Marie" is in.

Thought I'd do something different this time!

now the subscriber count is the sum of the letters of the name Lily [58 SUBSCRIBER MILESTONE SPECIAL]

Well, "Soo" is also the common first syllable for all these variants of names that Shoshanna kicked off the coinage of, the ancient Hebrew word/name that means "lily".

well, what other ways are there to note subscriber milestones?

Let me know if there's any other use of number 58 that Sault Ste. Marie could make note of.
