Escanaba is the capitol of the U.P.

upbeachbum.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think Marquette is our capitol but we are centrally located, which I love because everything in the U.P is within about 3 hours driving for us.

schwertmike.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think you discovered the reason, 3 hours to anywhere

The opened an fullfilment center here in Lansing last year. Also have a warehouse.

If true, N30th traffic will suck more. Oh damn, that 3 way stop sign by spectrum.

upbeachbum.bsky.social•8 days ago

lol it is nothing like Milwaukee or Chicago traffic

cyclore.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well yeah, Chicago was a much steeper learning curve than any Yooper road. But for the area, for my personal bitching purposes, and to just get ahead on the Facebook rant and rave posts, "the twaffick is gunna bee sooo bawd. *😭"

lol but it is so easy to avoid. I love backroads.

cyclore.bsky.social•8 days ago

True, but I work near the college and I live by the highschool.

upbeachbum.bsky.social•8 days ago

And we can't drive east.

Just say no to Amazon. They have put so many small companies out of business, and Bezo$ is just another of the broligarchs that are trying to turn our country into a dictatorship.

Built one in here in Traverse City last year.

No kidding eh. They built one down in Gaylord recently too.

upbeachbum.bsky.social•8 days ago

Amazon currently fulfills the U.P. through Wisconsin and Minnesota, so it looks like the U.P. is now getting their own fulfillment center, and it will be centrally located in the U.P.

We were talking about Costco needing to be in UP the other day. Everyone involved is from Mqt. area but we all agreed it'd be in Esky if anywhere...Mqt gets too much snow for a Costco even though they have a larger population.

upbeachbum.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah we definitely don't get much snow in this area any more.

ossokehahninii.bsky.social•8 days ago

Never have, it's the UP banana belt...ie, Eskabanana!
