And I drive by that place everytime my wife and I travel to Marquette and back.

Years ago when I smoked, I had run out of cigarettes on X-Mas Eve and I drove first to Baraga but everything was closed so I continued on to L'Anse and only the Holiday was open. It was packed and there were cars parked on the highway where I had to park. Most people were stocking up on booze.
