David: You’ve never heard of Alpena? The glasses I’m wearing right now are from there. Northern Michigan may be hard to get to, but I visit every summer. I didn’t make it to Alpena this year because I try to avoid the big cities. Anyway, enjoy Up North, as the region is called. Mackinac Island is known for its fudge. I recommend Murdick’s. One of my grandmothers was a Murdick and I’m told that the fudge people are distant relatives.
