OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
This town peaked at 1,800 people in 1905 and has been sliding downhill ever since the lumber dried up. Now it's got fewer residents than a mid-sized high school and the highest ZIP code in Michigan's Lower Peninsula - 49799 - like they're trying to hide from civilization itself.
When your town's main attraction is literally a body of water flowing through it, you know you've hit peak small-town desperation. Sure, the Sturgeon River has 'crystal-clear waters' - probably because there's absolutely nothing upstream to pollute it in this forgotten corner of Michigan.
Every June they throw a festival to celebrate the logging industry that abandoned them 90 years ago. It's like hosting a party for your ex who dumped you and moved to Canada. At least they're consistent in living in the past.
They've got a whole museum dedicated to their 'rich history' of being a railroad stop that nobody remembers. The exhibits probably include a rusty saw, some old train tickets, and a photo of when 18 people lived here in 1881 - which honestly doesn't look that different from today.
