Like my own hometown, it's small, isolated, resource-based, and kind of dying. Christmas Eve was a somber day in terms of weather, alas, so the appeal of the town is all the less apparent.
But there are good things about the place (see? I can be Canadian about these things!) such as the gorgeous old homes (adorned with Christmas lights - it made for pleasant evening drives), pasties,
and a coffee shop where we didn't have the best coffee we'd ever had, but where the wireless worked real fine and freely!

Were they as good as Cornish pasties?
They are, essentially, Cornish pasties - not made in Cornwall, of course, but meat and potato pies originally made for the miners in the area. All over the UP you can buy them - Conrad's hometown has at least two stores that specialize in them.
And they are tasty. We drove around on errands after buying the pasties, and the scent in the car drove us nuts!
