Tuesday, 2/11

Are you ready to take the quiz?

As I explained yesterday, I was on the shuttle bus to our Business After Hours, which was held out at the Ojibwa Casino's event center in Harvey. Along the way, I asked everyone in the bus nine (what I thought were rather easy) questions and ended up giving out a TON of prizes. And while I don't have any prizes left to give you (sorry about that!) here's the quiz. Imagine you're riding out from downtown Marquette to the intersection of US-41 & M-28 as I'm asking each of them, and see how well you do.

Answers tomorrow!

5--That little building out in front of the prison used to be what?

6--How old is Lake Superior? When was it formed? 12 million years ago? 120,000 years ago? 12,000 years ago?

8--Charles T Harvey (who founded and named the village of Harvey) was instrumental in designing and building the first version of which iconic UP structure?

9--True or False—the little hamlet of Green Garden, right down the road from the intersection of 41 & 28, was the birthplace of a professional wrestling champion.
