Legal issues between the City of Mackinac Island and ferry owners.
""Either can walk away from the other, which could hurt both.
So, unless the Ferry Companies are willing to walk away from the Island altogether and the City is willing to start some other passenger transportation system from scratch — both of which seem unlikely — the parties should spend less time and money fighting over the last two seasons of the 15-year franchise."

The Grand Hotel
A timeless view of Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel, its sweeping white façade and iconic 660‑foot porch evoke 19th‑century elegance. Arriving by horse‑drawn carriage, guests step into history while overlooking Lake Huron’s sparkling waters. Vintage charm and majestic architecture make this landmark a symbol of classic American hospitality.

Some pics of my sister @Julie_NA to welcome her to Mastodon! We just finished a lovely family vacation going on a loop around #LakeHuron, with a stop on #MackinacIsland. I’ve been wanting to go there for ages but ironically it is very hard to get to without a car. They have the largest fleet of working draft horses in the world. #CarFree #Horses

Michigan journalist Susan Demas, one of the very few good journalists left in Michigan, covers the annual fiasco known as the Mackinac Policy Conference @ https://michiganadvance.com/2024/06/02/at-the-mackinac-policy-conference-the-empire-strikes-back-in-seersucker-suits/
The cadence of what-purported-leader-says (parenthetically, why that is BS) is masterful.

Uhm... #introduction
Nothing really to say about me as a person, I have crippling #anxiety & so no life/accomplishments to speak of. Here are some of my interests, I'm an expert on none.
#writing #writers #fiction #books #etymology #language #journaling #blogging #art #DigitalArt #genealogy #photography #NaturePhotography #history #psychology #Jung #geology #trees #forest #Lovecraft #WeirdFiction #TrueCrime #LawAndOrder #politics #asexual #LGBT #paranormal #panentheism (appears nobody's into that) #anthro (like #furry , sort of) #Michigan #MackinacIsland #GreatLakes #spirituality (not organized religion, no) #Anishinaabe #Haudenosaunee (I'm of European descent--don't wish to give a false impression) #AncientEgypt #mythology #myths #folklore #MentalIllness #MentalHealth #SocialAnxiety #depression #autism (not diagnosed--again, don't want to mislead) #NeueDeutscheHarte #SymphonicMetal #PennsylvaniaDutch #PennsylvaniaGerman #Urglaawe #heathenry uhh...maybe more later.
2026 update: I post political stuff & am kind of inconsistent with warnings/tags. I see such things bother some users, but I'm tired of policing everything I say in my own space (plus bots auto-repost me when I use political tags), so, just a heads-up you may want to mute me.
I welcome followers & try to reciprocate, but if you seem like a bot, you're a charity account (I'm on gov't support myself, sorry), or I can't figure out why you followed me, or if you post "Genocide Joe/Killer Kamala/Both sides are equally bad" content, I will almost certainly not follow back. Please just avoid me.
Apologies if I'm doing anything wrong, I mean no offense.
