twilliams I lived in Superior a good while back and and my wife is from the Antigo area. Originally a WI native and have family and friends throughout WI. Actually having a pretty mild winter so far but the hard water fishing has been good so far. Looking forward to when the streams open.

YooperDog my good buddies dad lived up in the bush outside of Alpha. Crystal Falls was like an hour drive which is the nearest populated town. Lived on 180 acres in a corporation of 5 owners. Beautiful pond right down their back steps. Oh the fun we had back then. Drew a Bear tag and shot my biggest bear there. I remember going to this pure rednecks place in Iron River to buy our bair bait, he called himself the Barrel King of the UP. It was quite an experience to see.

twilliams Alpha has a pretty good little microbrewery and is a pretty small town that has a good motorcycle road going through it. There are some characters in those backwoods areas. Crystal Falls hasn’t changed a lot over the years.

YooperDog how long ago did you live in superior? I have lived south of superior by pattison state park my whole life.
kyle in the late 70’s, 77 - 82. I was assigned to the base and attended UW-S. If I remember correctly there was some pretty good trout fishing in Patterson. We have been through there a few times since, lots of changes over the years. I miss the old bridge that went to Duluth, I can’t remember the name right now. Hammond bridge? Nope, I think it was off of Belknap.
Rickety old thing. I did walk across the High Bridge late one winter night, one of the dumbest and scariest things I did during my time there. Spent a lot of time at the Point, burning drift wood, drinking beer with buddies, telling lies and watching freighters. A lot of good memories in Souptown. Back then we were bullet proof and going to live forever. A buddy of mine from back then are hoping to meet up for a camping trip that way this spring and relive some past memories. Some places I can recall, Yellow Submarine, Eagles, Elbow Room, a gyro place on Tower and Belknap, ah now the flood gates are open… Most I don’t think are around anymore. We did eat at a crazy pizza place last time there about a block or two west of Hammond.South Superior was the country back then, I used to do a bit of flying out of Bong.

YooperDog the old wood bridge was the arrowhead bridge, they tore it down after the bong bridge was built. The Eagles club is the only one left. Shamrock pizza is now in South Superior, best pizza around here now. VIP and Pizza Man are not bad, but Shamrock is the best. Pretty sad Walmart is only big store left in town (I don’t shop there unless I have too), but a few small stores are popping up. Let me know if your in the area, maybe meet up for a drink and I can try taking you into switching to team blue

kyle Yeah that’s the name I remember. The south western edge of Superior was down Tower and the group of businesses were K-Mart, Superior Credit Union , a pizza place and, I think a Kerr McGee gas station. Sounds like things have grown up that way. I will keep you updated if we make it that way and tip a few.
