Episode 39: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 39 (Dr. Dave's Paper Route)
Welcome back to the 80s! From 1981-1985 Dr. Dave delivered newspapers for The Mining Journal, the primary newspaper of Marquette, Michigan and the state’s Upper Peninsula. Monday through Saturday he braved the elements, especially the famous snow of the U.P., to deliver papers around his neighborhood. Earning about $10 a week (about $32 in 2026 adjusted for inflation), he eventually saved enough to purchase a portable cassette player. Episode 39 features many of the 80s artists who kept Dr. Dave company along his paper route.A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners.
