@theupperpeninsulaisnotoptional
During my recent visit to Detroit I found myself exploring the historic Belle Isle Casino. These Michigan-themed chairs were in the basement and immediately reminded me of @theupperpeninsulaisnotoptional which obviously was a sentiment shared by the chairs’ designer.
Below is a postcard image from the Detroit Historical Society showing the exterior of the building, which is pretty much the way it looks now,
Now there’s a deck chair I can get behind... in a tiny way.

Mother Nature is a showoff.
Week of the comedy newscasters. This is disappointing from SNL, but it’s downright heartbreaking from John Oliver, who has a fantastic monologue out there on flying into what might have been Houghton. It’s no joke: the Upper Peninsula is not optional, and the Upper Peninsula is certainly not Wisconsin.
On a considerably more edifying note, the Free Press is starting to pick these stories up. Go, Detroit Free Press!

Trenary toast is most often dunked in coffee or crumbled in milk.
Don’t think it’s just ONE small town... Trenary Toast: optional and delicious.
Oh, Google. Shake off those west coast blinders and learn what it means to be coming to Michigan, a place that does in fact reach past Ann Arbor.
Go, Upper Peninsula, go! Keep on talking, you 2,010 people!
Drinking Mountain Dew: totally optional. The Upper Peninsula: neither Wisconsin nor optional.
Stationery Saturday: Summer Travels
The images above are the front, back and some close-ups of the stationery for the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau of Michigan from 1945. The Upper Peninsula or the UP remains a prime tourist destination throughout the seasons. The Peninsula borders Wisconsin on the west and has Lake Superior on the north and Lake Michigan on the south. If you enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, skiing, or just enjoying nature from the deck of a cabin in the woods, the UP has it all.Â
This comes from the Wilhelmine D. La Budde Papers, 1924-1956 (Milw Mss BC). As a conservationist and a member of the Wisconsin Division of the Isaac Walton League of America Mrs. Edward La Budde worked very hard to protect the forests of the upper Midwest. One of the many campaigns she was involved in was saving the old growth hardwood forests of the Porcupine Mountains.
They bite here.
Horrocks, outside of Lansing, is this fantastic cornucopia of a local grocery— a jewel of the midwest, the store they go to in “The Music Man” in my mind. All the produce, all the cheese, generous cups of delicious free coffee, a live piano player at times. When I die and go to heaven I fully expect this store to be there... but, in heaven, the full state of Michigan will be featured next to the word “Michigan.” Even if you’re Horrocks and I love you more than words can say... even for you, Horrocks... the Upper Peninsula is not optional.

M-28: not optional.
Say yah to day U.P., eh! The Yooper accent was rated one of the sexiest in the U.S. At least that's according to a reader...
Y’know, if you’re going to praise us for our sexy accents... I guess there’s a lid for every pot, eh?... at least get the catchphrase right, Lee DeVito.
Say yah to da (not “day”!) fourteenth sexiest American accent, eh?Â
a). Go green!
b). Include the whole Keweenaw though eh?
Spring has sprung in the copper country
3-25-2019
The crusty, sandy snowbanks of spring: not optional.
Speed dead north on I-75 out of Detroit on dry roads and you will reach the Mackinac (pronounced Mack-i-naw) Bridge in a little over four hours. Once the largest suspension bridge in the world, it marks the end of Michigan’s lower peninsula. On the other side of the Mackinac Straights, at the narrow meeting place of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, are the only spoils of the Toledo War. In that long-forgotten conflict, Michigan’s 24-year-old governor Stevens T. Mason led a 250-man army into Ohio to reclaim the “Toledo Strip” for the Wolverine State. No blood was shed, and reports from the time make the “war” sound more like a bunch of pissed-off bumpkins firing homemade weapons into the air. The compromise that ended it gave Ohio control of Toledo and Michigan control of the Upper Peninsula.
I don’t care about Howard Schultz one way or the other except for the mildest of indignation that he won’t claim NMU-- but I adore the affection and (near) accuracy of this article. “King Bowser Dome” aside (whaaat?! Has anyone ever heard people call the Yooper Dome this?!) this writer knows the UP and knows Northern. Reader, enjoy.

Given that I started this whole thing during a stint at Michigan State University, I am unsurprised. Perennially disappointed, but unsurprised. Spartans, Spartans, Spartans... the Upper Peninsula is not optional. And also where Tom Izzo’s from, y’know?
This one’s making the rounds on Yooper Facebook. Where’s this Fox 5 that doesn’t know Michigan has 2 peninsulas?! The Upper Peninsula: neither optional nor Canada.
