Having grown up in Michigan, the U.P. for me means the Upper Peninsula. So for a minute there I thought maybe the Canadians had finally invaded. #sfanarchists

@The Architect of Tartaros: Holding up your right hand, point to where you're from.

You know how that works, you've been doing it all your life. #sfanarchists

@Chip Skylark of Space: Actually I was originally a Yooper (small town in the Eastern U.P.). But I went to school in Ann Arbor and have lived in that area for nearly as long as I lived in the U.P. So I'm not sure if I'm officially a Troll now or what. #sfanarchists

@The Architect of Tartaros: I lived in the U.P. for 10 years before escaping back below the bridge and I was thinking the same thing :) #sfanarchists

@Sean Keller: F or the Yoopers, here's the other hand. We drive from 'Sconsin across the UP to Alpena every summer- I love the UP, especially the last 90 minutes before the bridge, when you drive along the dunes and beaches of Lake Michigan. I loves my fudge, too. #sfanarchists

@Chip Skylark of Space: Oh, no, a fudgie! I used to live/work in the lower northern and while the tourists were welcome for their dollars, we were always glad to see the season end. :) #sfanarchists

@YanaH: Yeah, I could see why. By the way, I was wearing my Mac Bridge sweatshirt (bought in St. Ignace, in the joint with the crappy/dangerous tower) when I wrote my comment yesterday. I'd imagine that the area would be a lot nicer/quieter without the tourists and the burger wrappers. Of course, they're followed by the hunters, this time of year, and then the snow mobilers.. #sfanarchists

@Chip Skylark of Space: I just got back from up north visiting the relatives for Thanksgiving. It is too quiet. The poor economy is really killing the tourist/hunting season. I only saw two deer in trucks on the way back.
