News from the Week

Stories from the week included a neat article (with photo) about History of Whalebacks and Pigboats on the Great Lakes from the Leelanau Enterprise, a look at the impact of Impact of the State Theatre on Traverse City and the surrounding area (and of the impact of movie theaters like The Bay) from the Glen Arbor Sun, a cool old photo of the fish tug Helen S in Fishtown and a look at free-falling lake levels on Lake Michigan and inland lakes.
