Up North.
A term unique to Michiganders, and all of us know what that means.
Up North It’s high summer right now. Simply awesome.
The last time the lake was this high, 1987, National Geographic used it as an excuse to tell us about the coming ice age.....gotta love it.
In Minnesota it is also “Up North”. And once up north, it became “the cities”.
“Yeah we’re going up north for the week.”
“So how long you up for?”
“Oh - we head back [down] to the cities next Sunday.”
The use of the word “down” was sometimes used, but redundant.
