Of course the picture with the ore dock
in it won. Pictures with the ore dock in them ALWAYS win.
If you haven't had the chance to check
it out yet, make sure you get down to my favorite park in
Marquette—The Rosewood Walkway—and check out the umbrella art
display they've put up for Art Week. It's colorful, it's whimsical,
and it's just another one of those cool things we do in this very
cool city.
Over the weekend Loraine and I went
down there to check it out, and I ended up snapping 40 or so
pictures. Because no else had yet done it I stuck a few of them up
on the “You Know You're From Marquette If” Facebook group, and as
of this morning had over 400 likes and 100 shares of the post. I'm
not saying that to brag, I'm saying that to lay the groundwork for
the reason why pictures with the ore dock in them always win.
I put five pictures up, and along with
the 400 likes for the post itself each individual picture had its
share of likes, too. Based on everything I've written so far you can
obviously guess which one of these had more of those likes than any
other--

The ore dock one is nice; it's not my
favorite (that would be the last one, with the sun shining through
the orange umbrella), but it's nice. But there just seems to be
something about the ore dock that compels people to click “like”
whenever I post a picture that has even just a small section of it in
the shot, like the one above. Maybe people feel some kind of
mystical connection to it; maybe it's just the fact that it is an
iconic symbol of Marquette. I don't know the reason why. I just
know that if you wanna get a lot of “likes” on a Facebook
picture, make sure it has the ore dock in it.
It works every time.

(ps—if you haven't had the chance to
catch the Rosewood display yet, it's scheduled to be up until the end
of July. It's definitely worth your time!)
