Ontonagon.m4v

Ontonagon, Michigan, in 1990. The video quality isn't great because it's a copy of a copy of a copy of a VHS tape. If I remember right, Maggie Morgan drove my Opel Manta, while I sat on the passenger side window with the big clunky videocamera bouncing off my shoulder. But considering the bridge at the very beginning doesn't even exist anymore, I thought it might appeal to some nostalgic people out there. The last time I was there was in 2007, and it sure looked different then! I almost drove my fiancé and I into the river, because we were getting there late at night and I didn't know the bridge had been removed. :)

They've been tearing down old buildings before they fall down for a few years now, and a fire took out the block that Stubb's is on (although Stubb's still stands)

That was 1990 -- a lot of it's gone now. The old swing bridge is gone, they took out Chet's to make way for the new bridge (they bypassed downtown). They're in the process of removing the railroad and tearing down the paper mill now.

Looks like nothing much has changed in the last sixty years. Loved that area. (In summer of course) Thanks for sharing.
