The North Shore's national appeal

by Dave

As anyone who’s visited it knows, Minnesota’s North Shore harbors singular beauty. And visitors and artists from all across America take note of it. Here is a poetic example in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor. As Congressional debate heats up on a proposed $475 million federal investment in the Great Lakes this summer, the North Shore can be cited as one of the national icons worth celebrating and conserving. So far, no one has put a number on how much of the $475 million will be put to work in Minnesota’s Lake Superior watershed, but it’s likely to be substantial. Minnesota’s Congressional delegation will benefit by hearing from those who cherish the North Shore.
