What's Behind the Orange Cone
Stuff We Love
March 16, 2024
This road construction season promises to be one for the ages, so we’re starting something new here at Northern Express. Each week, you’ll find a little orange cone next to one of our Top 10s. That icon means that business is in the middle of one of northern Michigan’s big construction zones, like the Grandview Parkway reconstruction, the Interlochen State Park renovation, or Charlevoix’s bascule bridge upgrade. While it might be a little extra difficult to reach these places, trust us—they’re worth the trip! If you want to see your favorite local restaurant, bar, or retailer profiled, drop us a line at info [at] northernexpress [dot] com. We can’t promise to fit everyone in, but we’ll do our best to send good vibes to all the businesses out there who are adjusting to the changes in traffic.
