Vote Ontonagon!

Re: Vote Ontonagon!

At first I thought that jersey number was 32. "Vote to not have Ray Lewis come and kill every child in your town!"
 
Re: Vote Ontonagon!

Fixed your post. ;)

And that's pretty cool.

Yeah, I didn't really read it through the first time, but now I see the top 2 both get 10 grand. So it's not really a contest (right now, unless Misenhimer pulls their goalie and scores a few quick ones).
I'm pretty sure with the paper mill closing, the school is the only real employer left in Ontonagon, and there's been talk about how far they could really bus the kids to consolidate with someone else. So the 10 grand will be either a great pick-me-up for them, or a huge waste of money if they build a new playground and then do shutter the whole town.

They really should consider consolidating the county into Gogebic or Houghton, or at least combining most governmental functions into one of those counties. As for industry, I've heard conflicting reports on White Pine's main copper source closing, but possible new mining near Thomaston - maybe there'll be something going there.

I almost always end up with a favorite in any somewhat lengthy drive. It is usually just the city with the coolest name.

For example: MSP-Chicago; Oconomowoc.

Another vote. I did not hear that the paper mill was closing. Maybe that's why the hospital has not decided on us starting their remodel project.

My buddies called it The Octagon. Because there like 3 turns with signs pointing west to it. The Octagon surrounds you!

Or a little town you stop by for fun. Like Duluth to Grand Forks; Fosston. Where I got a Charleston chew on the way there AND back :)

Other Minnesota goodies: Quamba, Bock, Long Siding.

Huh, you don't hear about people driving through Ontonagon on that trip. There are two advantages of the Ontonagon route over that through Bruce (Ciskie) Crossing though, despite the added distance:
-almost never any cops
-better roads - I may or may not have topped 100 from Mass City to Ontonagon... in a Geo Prizm... :o
 
Re: Vote Ontonagon!

ONNNNNNNNNNN-TONNNNNNNNNNNN-A-GONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! doesn't exist. I have come to believe that the "newspaper" that diva and Dor....I mean FM gave me is a counterfeit.

When a "newspaper" has articles on its residents' vacations.....that's not a newspaper. It can't be.
