Anyone know anything about Sault Ste. Marie Michigan?

Post by toxicavenger » Fri Nov 01, 2019 2:18 pm

My middle brother is moving there saturday. His wife got a job as a Director of Nursing in that area. Anyone know anything about the town? I looks pretty cool online. I might try and visit next year if possible.

Thanks,
T

I've been up there. The Upper Peninsula (UP) is beautiful. Sault St. Marie is a nice little town. See the locks. They're a marvel of engineering. Can't remember much else about the town as it's been a while. It's cold as all hell in the winter, but the summers are really nice.

My wife’s family has some connections to the area. All I know is colder then hell in winter and hot and humid in summer.

(bit random) if you want some fiction that takes place in the area, check out Steve Hamilton's "Alex McKnight" thriller series Terry :)

My brother is stationed there currently, I went up there and visited last summer. It's a beautiful area, but definitely a small town - not a lot going on.

I just back from this place. Not to much positive to say. I brother got super sick up there and the care was not up to par by any means. So I moved them back down to Indiana last week.

That’s how the healthcare is in small towns and rural areas. Hard to hire nurses and doctors. And the VA care you got to travel for it and the same for the VA in hiring and keeping doctors and nurses. Some surgeries they send you out of state for or you travel across the state for. The price you pay to live in a small town. Glad your brother got better. Some vets va doctors in another states and you see them on a tv screen a joke. I guess I was spoiled with great health care when I lived in California and judge the state I live in by that.

That’s true of many small communities. We never go for healthcare on the island. We always go to Seattle for the best care.
