Feb/March, 2008
The "Old Museum" got shut down early because of the tragic fire in Rogers City
so I put it back up for a bit.
Thanks to everyone who supported the Wang Family fund raisers.

Make sure to stop at the "Old Museum" on 2nd St - 1 block past the "red light" -
heading towards the lake.
(It's always been called the "red light" although it does change to green - occasionally).
The proprietor, Norm Karbon, opened the Book Store/Art Gallery in the 70's after the
P.I. County Museum moved to the Bradley House.
It's a neat place where you can;
- Buy books, art supplies, and gifts
- Trade in your old books
- View Norms' art exhibit and purchase his work

When I visited, Norm said he had 1 chair ( I counted 2), and that I was welcome to sit if I wanted.
I guess that's an honor since it seems that the Old Museum is part of the "coffee clutch"
that attracts a regular - I don't know what to say ... "group" doesn't work since there's
only 1 chair - O.K. ...... "clientele" works ..... as long as it's 1 client at a time.
"Coffee clutch" might not be a good description either since I've never seen coffee, but it's
a fun place to visit and chances are, you'll learn about everything that's happening
in Rogers City.

Anyone interested in the history of Rogers City will enjoy reading
the latest publication from the Presque Isle County Museum "The Baby
Boomer's Guide To Rogers City".
Gerald Micketti, James Hopp, and Mark Thompson, did an excellent job
of putting words to the pictures of "old" Rogers City.
Urban Renewal (Urban Removal) may have ruined the aesthetics of our
town, but the memories will always exist.

The Presque Isle District Library has locations in; Grand Lake, Rogers City,
Posen, and Onaway. The only branch I've visited is the Rogers City location
and I can truthfully say that I've never been disappointed by the staff there.
Ask a question and you'll get an answer.
You may not get it immediately - but you'll get it..........

Afraid to use a computer or to go "online"? The Library has beginner level
training classes.
Need help with researching a subject? They have the expertise to get you
headed in the right direction.
Stop in, say hi, and look around - you'll be back.

-The Pavilion Grille "Home of the Black Angus Burger" has very good
food and excellent prices. I asked the owner if she changed her
menu very often and the answer was pretty much
"never - why change something that's good"?
The Grille is located at Lakeside park and they do take
orders over the phone. By the time you get there, it's done. Give it a try!
You can get to their menu from our main page - click here
Their telephone # is 989-734-4897.

-The Presque Isle County Museum has a temporary website at:
http://thebradleyhouse.rogerscitymi.com/index.htm
Sometime this month, we'll move it to a different server and the site will
have its own name.
Make sure to stop by and visit the museum and to keep track of the
latest news by visiting by the web site. We'll be adding many
new/interesting items to the site in the next few months.

May 2007
Actually a little before May but, who's counting.
Richard Vogelheim and the crew at the clothing store have been fun
to work with. Great selection of clothing, shoes, boots, etc., and probably
the only place in town where you can rent a Tux.
Got myself a skunk hat while there - will have some fun with it.

I wanted to know when the Larke Drug Store Building was built so I could put it on the Grulke Hardware Store page. Came close - no Cigar.
Thanks to the great people who work at our Library here in Rogers City! Friendly, courteous and, as always, helpful.
