Tell me about life on Keweenaw
Posted: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 8:24 PM

My wife and I are in love with the Keweenaw peninsula.   I am a retired engineer and a landscape/travel photographer (age 57) and my wife is a teaches assistant.  We desperately want to get out of the rat-race of our region in Illinois... about 25 miles west of Chicago.   We would like to buy a rural property of 40 to a couple hundred acres if, possible.   We would like to hear what people who live there now have to say about life on on Keweenaw.  What do you really like about it?  What are you gripes?   Are property taxes high?   How is local government?  What should we know before making the decision?  

 

We don't mind long winters and deep snow at all and, in fact, we would like that.  We would like to hear anything you have to say, good or bad. 

 

Thanks,

Tom

Wow! You are actually carrying on a conversation with yourself! That's kind of pathetic when you think about it. LOL! Take your meds too.

Hi Wutzup,

   Am I missing something here, or are you just trying to keep people out of our area?  Your answer to someone who asks about life on the Keweenaw appears to be rude!
