A Plan That Covers All The Great Lakes! Join In.

We are a small team taking on a gigantic task, but we are ready to play! We’ve begun on the beautiful North Shore of Minnesota and are now making our way around. As we move East you’ll see the home page map expand and the locations under your favorite filters increase. And, if you want to do your part, send us your favorite places. Most people want to keep them secret, even so they only visit them from time to time. But remember, the more great places you tell us about the more likely your favorite businesses along the way will remain there for you to enjoy.

Make sure to use the filters or the viewable area resizing tool that you can find directly on the map, or you may find that load wheel spinning an awfully long time. We want you to find what you are looking!
