MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is asking a judge to break up single-company control of passenger ferry service to Mackinac Island, alleging the operator bought out its competition to hike prices on tourists, island residents and seasonal workers. Filed Thursday in Ingham County Circuit Court, the civil antitrust lawsuit targets the Hoffmann Family of Companies, a private equity group led by billionaire David Hoffmann, alongside affiliated marine businesses including Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry and Arnold Transit Co. According to the attorney general's office, Hoffmann now controls every passenger ferry route to the car-free island, every dock capable of handling passenger vessels and roughly 80% of long-term mainland parking near the terminals in St. Ignace and Mackinaw City. State attorneys contend the firm built that dominance by

Real Estate Crush: A Downtown Petoskey Loft with a Rooftop View

A century-old brick building, a contemporary loft and a rooftop perch above downtown Petoskey make a strong case for a different kind of Up North living. We first fell for this downtown Petoskey loft when we featured it in Northern Home & Cottage: exposed brick, original maple floors, soaring ceilings and big windows overlooking Little Traverse Bay, with just a smidge of loft-in-the-city DNA. Now the 2,322-square-foot condo is on the market for $1,795,000, offering someone else the chance to take over this decidedly different kind of NoMI home.

Charlevoix's Collin Jess gives respect to Menominee, thrilled to help bring title

CHARLEVOIX — Collin Jess has a lot of respect for the Menominee football program. While the junior quarterback is confident in his own Charlevoix team , he’s making no mistakes about disrespecting the Rayders’ regional opponent up next on Saturday, Nov. 14. It was only four years ago that Jess and current Rayder teammates got an up close look at Menominee in the district final round. “Eighth grade year, when my brother (Brady) was a junior, most of us went up to Menominee and we saw that team,” Jess said. “That team was the best team I’ve seen – until hopefully us if we can keep moving forward.” That Menominee team went on to earn a 50-14 win over the Rayders that day and fell in the state finals by just four points. This current Menominee team (10-1) is the defending Division 7 state champion and one that’s started off the playoffs with a 90-8 point-differential. Jess is smart to give the Maroons their flowers. What else would you expect from someone who has obviously been around a head football most of his life? And, last Friday, the younger Jess, who followed his brother and standout quarterback Brady Jess in
