News from the Week

In addition to the results from the 2008 Election, we checked out Leelanau County’s economic rating (good), November fall color (still amazingly good), the Leland Regional Mock Election (simply amazing) and the Ghost at the Grand Traverse Lighthouse.

Fall Color Report (Nov 5): We will STILL have very nice color this weekend. I can’t think of the last time we had November color like this.
