New on the North Shore: Objects to Crave, Lady Superior Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shop, and Harbortown Goods
2024 has seen a lot of changes along the North Shore. Some businesses closed, new businesses opened. Whole buildings have been demolished and new buildings added. It can be hard to keep up with all of the changes! In this episode, Jaye and Martha visit some of the new businesses that have sprung up in the past year. Up in Hovland, Objects to Crave opened late in the summer of 2023 and brought a unique, eclectic twist on the traditional North Shore gift shop. Back in Grand Marais, Abby Tofte (of The Big Lake) has purchased the former Gunflint Mercantil store and transformed it into two shops: the Lady Superior Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shop and Harbortown Goods gift shop.
Listen in to learn about these changes and more that will greet you on your next trip to Lake Superior's North Shore.

Sisu + Loyly Floating Sauna
2023 really was a big year for Sisu + Loyly! Just when we thought Sisu + Loyly couldn't possibly make the sauna experience in Cook County any better, they went above and beyond with their floating sauna (https://www.sisuandloyly.com/floating-sauna)! Launched in September 2023, the floating sauna may very well be the first commercial floating sauna in the USA! It is currently home-based at Skyport Lodge on Devil Track Lake, and reservations are open! As the floating sauna was launched late in the season, only a lucky few will be able to experience it until winter comes and the floating sauna has to go away until next summer. If you're planning a Fall Colors adventure on the North Shore in 2023, consider adding a lovely floating sauna into your plans.

Rainbows in the Wilderness, a Film by Matthew Baxley
It's Pride Month, so we've been taking in all the North Shore activities. One of those activities included an exclusive screening of Matthew Baxley's new film, Rainbows in the Wilderness. This film is about 9 strangers who share a common bond going into the BWCA, some for the first time.
If Matthew's voice sounds familiar, he's been on the podcast before. Remember the Haunted House episode? It's definitely a classic! Welcome Matthew back to the podcast for this interview about his new film.
