Anyone from the UP? Anyone grow up in Marquette; Attend Parkview Elementary School or NMU; Swim at McCarty's Cove; Eat pasties and pick up iron ore pellets off the tracks?
I spent 8 years there when I was a kid. Very good memories. Have long since moved West & still feeling nostalgic sometimes!

1. Holy wah, I'm a yooper, eh? |

Grew up in Laurium (in the Kewanaw Pennisula) and graduated High School in Chassell (just south of Houghton).
Yah, dat's right, eh? Sure spent a lot of time panking snow with my choppers and my chook on and driving my snow machine (Artic Cat) to school in da winter... Went to NMU in Marquette for a year (1976-77)... love Pasties...
Don't get much of a chance to get up there much lately, but do whenever I get the chance.
The UP is God's Country, as they say, and the best place in the world as far as I'm concerned (and I've been around)... eh?
