Since Michigan has recently positioned itself as an extremely favorable location for film production, Hollywood has come calling.  Imagine how movies will change: pine trees instead of palm trees, timberframe log mansions instead of pink stucco palaces, Ford F-350s instead of Porsches . . . real Midwestern accents.

There is a most interesting wire service story in the LA Times: Congress passes bill aimed at measuring Internet access.  So what’s the big deal?  Well, according to the FCC, 99% of the nation has broadband.  If you live in northern Michigan you know that’s nonsense.  Here’s where the phony information comes from.   If even […]

I’d like to think everyone in the Township turns to Torch Lake Views for the news of the day – but I know it’s not so. For the really important stuff, we watch the signs outside the farm markets up and down US-31. The bulletins at Bargy’s last week announced that strawberries and rhubarb were […]
