Ideal retirement location - 4/21/2011
Have lived here 7 years. Moved here from a large Midwestern city. Wonderful place to retire if you like fairly long winters and don't mind 150+ inches of snow every year. Houses are affordable, traffic is no problem, and crime rate if pretty low. We have a wonderful 23-bed hospital and several clinics in the region. When you need to do major shopping it is only 115 miles to Duluth. Duluth has 2 major hospitals and Wausau, WI also has a large hospital so health care is readily available. And I might finish by mentioning the absolutely fantastic scenery here. The north woods, lakes, and of course, Lake Superior only 20 miles away.

The big snow country.... - 3/28/2009
It is called the big snow country for a reason. It snows...a lot...and gets very chilly. The winters last a good 6-7 months. If you like to ski, ice fish, snowmobile, or any other winter sports/activities you might like it. The one problem is that there is nothing to do. We just got a Wal-Mart which is huge and the only place to get a decent pair of athletic shoes in the area is Dunham's. I have lived in the U.P. my whole life and love the outdoors, but I can only handle so much of that before I want to branch out and so some different recreational activities. The cost of living is decent, but like I say, you better be able to entertain yourself if you move into town. Overall not a bad place, but I am 25 and ready to move to a more exciting

Great Place to Live!! - 10/29/2008
The western U.P. is amazing. There's the obvious attractions like ski areas and the world's tallest fiberglass Native American statue, but walking on the shores of Lake Superior is definitely a good substitute for an ocean and, if you like winter sports, there's never a worry! We don't have those sloppy, melty, grey winters. We get a ton of snow and we have the cross country ski areas (and other winter sport areas) to take advantage of
