I have been up here since I was 5 if that counts i am now 37! I went to school in Posen, but as you know Alpena was the place where you went to do all your shopping! It is a nice small town but there is nothing there. Our mall is very sad to say the least, if you want to shop exspecially if you have teen agers at home then you will need to take a road trip either to Travers City or head down state because all we have is Gliks and Maurices of course pennys and the two mart stores. Lots of bars and churches though. If there were jobs here it would be a very nice place to be and live.

Anyone out there with a 1970-71 Alpena Thunder Bay Junior High yearbook? If so, I'd really like to correspond and ask you to look up a couple names. It would only take a few minutes. I have the following year if you want to do the same.

I've never lived right 'in' Alpena, but I have lots of childhood and young adult history near Hubbard Lake and Lincoln. My dad belonged to one of those big hunting clubs near H. Lake and we used to go there every year when huntng season hadn't yet started up.

Then, my (former) husband and I joined Lost Lake Woods Club (Lincoln) where we vacationed and spent lots of time at. Now, after a 12 year hiatus out west, I have returned, re-joined LLWC, and am up here most of the time. I'll be moving up for the winter and, then, if/when I sell my downstate home, I may move here permanently.

I love it on this side of the state! People are a little more 'real' and property values are more in line with reality! There are some terrific buys on lakefront properties here, if that's what anyone wants.

Alpena's mall is a bit of a joke, but the area, in general, is growing and now has Home Depot, Wally World, several good restaurants and a great shoreline. The cement plant is history. There is also some light industry. I think it's a good thing that the area doesn't depend heavily on tourism to survive. I hope Michigan turns around sooner rather than later, but I also hope, in a selfish way, that the "sunrise" side of the state is never "discovered" to the extent the west side has been.

Default Lost Lake Woods Club--Lincoln

What is the Lost Lake Woods Club. Sounds like a camp ground. Is it a good place to camp? jgalpin48428@yahoo.com

Here you go, Jennifer:
lostlakewoods.com

It's a private club offering tons and tons of options. It's not a campground, although it 'has' one for members along with 11000 acres of forest, golf, fishing, hunting, residential area, lodge, etc., etc. It's one of the older private large clubs on the northwest side of MI.
