Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

Some hometown pride here...

On the LP side of The Bridge, there is a visitor's center with history, gifts, etc. I don't know if it's still there. Anyway. As you walked in, there was a long desk with Knowledgeable People behind it. On the wall behind and above that, there was a mural that ran the width of the room. It was Native Americans in canoes, with clouds, and the bridge, I think too. It was painted by Betty Beeby, who lived in my home town of Eastport, MI.

The last time we went to the UP, we stopped there. The mural was gone. Covered up, not painted over. I asked someone about it and he said there was a smaller version in one of the offices, and let us in to look at it. I asked him, "Can you find all 14 of the Native Americans?" (I think that's the number.) He gave me a blank look. I pointed out the three or four most visible, and he said he'd never noticed that they were there. 🤦‍♀️
