Beaver Island Michigan

Sometimes clocks on Verizon phones will switch to Central time on the west shore. Could it be a signal from Wisconsin? Indeed, it could. Cell phone signal can skip a LONG ways across water when the conditions are right. From eastern Michigan, I have had my Verizon phone connect to a tower in Canada...

I hope you really love your new home! We have certainly enjoyed owning OWL#9 these past years. It is a great little community on a great island.

I had not heard that Adam was leaving the island. Last I spoke with him, he was working on locating a new location for his business. I am deeply disappointed in this news! He and his family departing will leave more than one large hole in the fabric of the island!

I have, on several occasions, offered the use of our BI home to friends, pastors, nieces, etc, at NO COST, and they still couldn't make it happen, because of the cost of the ferry and parking. To go out to the island for a 3-day weekend, for a family of four, with transportation, runs $435, without ...

Thanks, Carol! I am glad it worked out.

I still have availability in July, at Oak Woods Lodge #9. Check with Sheri Richards, or check [url]http://beaver-island-rentals.com/oak-woods-lodge.html

I knew nobody yet, so when I picked up my coffee cup, I turned to scan the room for a table. He caught my eye, and at the same time he pulled ou...

This sounds like way, way too much fun. I wish I could attend!

A recurring theme in the discussion leading up to the election was "we can gain the same efficiencies without consolidating the townships". Suggestions were made to share facilities and merge more functions. So, now is the time to pony up. We are a two-township island. Let's make it the be...

That is great! The more meaningful results we get on a Google Search the better, and a well-thought-out site will be a great asset!

It is great to see articles like this! Great job, Chamber Guy!

Bill -- Thanks for crunching the numbers. It is very helpful to see it in actual numbers. Based on what you have presented, it would be expected that the consolidation is likely to be more popular in St James than in Peaine. The taxes on the island are not cheap. But, when I bought my property, I in...

Also, Bill, I agree with you fully in this -- if we cannot improve on what we have, why change it? That is why I want to hear how two townships is so fantastic. What can it do for us that one township cannot? In what ways does it enable taxpayer dollars to be used more effectively? How does it speed...
