Yah. I grew up in GR but summered every year in Suttons Bay and Charlevoix. TC went from small-town to fur-coat-kissy-face-ville in the last 20 yrs. Beautiful country up dere, however I'm short a million or so.
It's a really cool history too. Back before jets the bigwigs took the "resorter" trains from Detroit and Chicago to the north for the summer. Some amazing names around Charlevoix - the Dows, Loebs (Sears Roebuck), Olds and many more visited the place.
Though I've never been there, I think Door county in WI is similar with the Chicago crowd.
