Chris Hanson interview

Recently, there was a bust of 5 sickos looking to have sex with a minor in Ishpeming, and "Takedown with Chris Hanson" was there. Here's an interview with Chris a local TV station conducted recently about the bust.

Unfortunately this is the second bust this year performed in Marquette County that Chris was apart of.

Keweenaw Bay Native History?

Hey y’all,

I was born and raised in the Keweenaw, but when my international friend asked about the Native American tribe in the bay, it dawned on me I never learned really anything about the people there or their culture/ history

Is there any museums or anything of the sort to learn about the native Americans of the western UP specifically?

Thanks!

I want to show my kid the best of Northern Michigan University (NMU)/ Marquette. Suggestions?

Kid and I are heading up to NMU in early November for their presidential scholars competition. The school will be showing her around / interviewing her Sunday afternoon through Monday morning and, based on the itinerary will dive into all things NMU.

We will arrive Saturday afternoon, and so will have Saturday afternoon/ evening and Sunday morning to ourselves.

Kid likes hikes, outdoors, coffee shops that are cute and cozy, old bookstores, live music (bluegrass / banjo / acoustic anything preferred)

Any suggestions on places I could take a teenager like that?

Also, any thoughts on NMU? Any graduates or current students here that can offer a perspective? (She doesn’t want MTU for a variety of reasons)

Kid wants microbiology or clinical diagnostic sciences for a major.

Apples

I know this is a very vague question. I live in the western UP (interior twshp)I have always seen the bags of apples for feed at the gas station and decided to snatch one off the tree out of the deers reach and take a bite. Pretty damn tasty!! I have about 10 of these trees on my property and am trying to figure out what kind of apples they are. I have done a little digging and see them referred to as Liberty Apples, can anyone confirm?? I would take a picture but as you know the 8000mph winds have stripped the leaves so it's just some sticks with red apples left not very helpful for identification. They are mostly about palm sized. Would love to plant a few more but the species would help to know if I should try to seed or graft. If anyone has had success with grafting these or seeding I would love to get some advice

Hi all! I'm looking for activities for my senior parent to do in the Iron Mountain/Kingsford area to get out and socialize, opportunities for low impact exercise, slow walking groups, crafting, anything mentally stimulating. I really appreciate any advice. Thank you

Have the leaves started turning yet in the UP?

I live south of Chicago and want to maximize my fall leaf intake this year with a possible trip north. It's been dry here so we've had some fall happening, but not much color.
