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.

The end of 2026 feels like just the beginning for Petoskey volleyball

GAYLORD — The end of a season came for the Petoskey volleyball team on Tuesday night in regionals. But, all season long, it’s really felt like just the beginning of something for this team. Midland Dow was the better team in their Division 1 regional semifinal meeting in Gaylord, no questions asked. A team of 10 seniors that was long, made few mistakes and quickly recovered from deficits showed it with a three-set sweep over Petoskey. Though it was a loss, the sets were tight, Petoskey scrapped its way to leads and pushed a 43-win Dow team to earning the victory. The whole time, it felt like the team just setting up the future and stashing confidence was Petoskey, exactly what the 2026 season felt like. When they met the Chargers Tuesday, Petoskey coach Erin Luckhardt had two areas she wanted her team to focus on first and foremost. “The two goals we wanted to focus on tonight were out-work them – I don’t know if we did because they’re a scrappy team too – and then we talked about resilience because we knew they had some big hitters,” Luckhardt said. “We broke down a lot of film, worked on

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

Gaylord Olympian Winter Vinecki to skip 2026/27 season

Gaylord native and U.S. aerial skier Winter Vinecki announced she is skipping the 2026/27 season to prioritize her health and recover from ongoing injuries. The 27-year-old athlete did not receive medical clearance in time to safely train for the upcoming World Cup schedule after undergoing a neck operation earlier this year. Vinecki shared the update on social media, explaining that stepping away from competition is a vital step for her long-term future in aerial skiing. The pause comes after navigating multiple physical challenges in recent years while competing at the highest international level. Vinecki chose her team after more than a decade with the national program. “After 11 years on the U.S. Ski Team, I have had to make the incredibly difficult decision with my team not to compete this winter,” Vinecki said. Despite enduring physical setbacks over the last three years, Vinecki has remained a top performer in her sport. She is a five-time individual World Cup champion who placed second in the overall Aerials World Cup standings for the 2023/24 season. In January 2026, she secured a victory in Lac-Beauport, Canada and later placed sixth at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. While she will miss the
