ESCANABA – Following another week of clear weather, state officials announced the Harbor Tower has officially been redesignated as a navigational aid for ships entering Little Bay de Noc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Captains reportedly admitted they’ve been using it for years anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s either the Harbor Tower or Steve’s garage with the giant Packers flag,” one freighter captain explained. “This is much more professional.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TRENARY – Residents began panic buying immediately after spotting the Michigan Storm Chasers setting up along M-67 Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By noon, bottled water, Trenary Toast, beef jerky, and every case of Busch Light had reportedly disappeared from the shelves of the local Dollar General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials confirmed the only thing left in stock was kale chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MARQUETTE – Marquette officials estimate that 98.7% of all tourist photos taken in the city now contain at least part of the ore dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s physically impossible to avoid,” said one visitor while unknowingly taking another picture of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local photographers have reportedly started charging extra for photos without the ore dock in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IRON MOUNTAIN – Following months of water and sewer work, engineers have officially determined the construction project has existed long enough to qualify for historical preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children are now encouraged to visit with their grandparents to hear stories about “what traffic looked like before the barrels.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GPS units have stopped offering alternate routes and now simply display:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Figure it out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MUNISING – National Park employees say they continue receiving dozens of questions every week from tourists hoping to find the “actual painted rocks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One ranger reportedly spent twenty minutes explaining geology before a visitor asked if someone “touches them up every spring.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials are considering placing a sign at the entrance reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They’re naturally colorful. Bob Ross was not involved.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HOUGHTON – Traffic backed up Saturday after dozens of visitors parked along the waterfront believing the Portage Lift Bridge was “about to do another show.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When informed the bridge only raises for boats, several applauded anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One family reportedly asked what time the evening performance starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SAULT STE. MARIE – Traffic briefly slowed Saturday after several visitors pulled over near the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge to ask whether pedestrians could “just walk across to grab lunch in Canada.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bridge personnel reportedly spent much of the afternoon explaining that crossing an international border involves slightly more paperwork than crossing the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One tourist was overheard asking if a passport was really necessary “if we promise to be back before dinner.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A nearby gift shop has reportedly begun selling T-shirts reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
