Things to Do in the U.P.'s Jesse Land has a great recommendation on the Lake Superior Brewing Co. in Grand Marais. Part pub, part restaurant, it is a place all its own with a great view, great people and (if possible) even better food. Read on for what not to miss when you stop by.
Shawn Malone's eye for taking gorgeous natural photography is seriously second to none. Every day we here at U.P.
