Here there was talk of forming the State of Superior as recently as the 70s out of the U.P. and northern WI. A story that characterized neglect from downstate . . .

An EMT was telling me that they were waiting for information materials from Lansing (state capital). It didn't come and finally they called. She was told "Oh, we didn't have enough so we just didn't send any to the U.P."

So, even though we don't live on Lake Superior, Superior is a common business name here. Just 4 blocks away is Superior State Administrators, an insurance agency.
