A superior view, indeed.

From the Yooperrails listserv, a link to the website of Superior View, a business in Da Yoop that has an incredible collection of old photographs of the region and makes them available to anyone who's interested. A good-quality, "suitable-for-framing" reproduction will cost a few bucks, but their subject-categorized image index includes reduced-size images that make for interesting browsing.

A reminder, I suppose, that every once in a while the free market of eclectic individuals throws up a solution to a problem that the public sector is unable or unwilling to address.
