Interesting. I was under the impression that he was writing from the perspective on someone visiting the island. I don't think it's represented as a comprehensive telling of the history, culture, economy of the island. It seems clear to me that it's the vignette of a traveler. What about the piece was inaccurate?

I think writers who are visiting should be more thoughtful and inquiring with individuals other than people drinking in a bar. Every Island economy and communities in northern Michigan grapple with housing shortages, limited employment opportunities and various barriers to sustainability. If he talked to people he would have found organizations that are working on broadband, economic development grants, zoning that provides for growth while maintaining our culture and many other initiatives. The writer took broad assumptions from his limited experiences and paints a picture that at best is limited in scope.
Ok. But the author only interviewed the one drunk guy and that guy had a sort of insightful answer. He basically said what you said. Every small community has the same problems. But I get what you're saying. You feel like he misrepresented or didn't do your island justice and if you say that then I believe you. But honestly, the article made want to drive the 700 miles north to catch the ferry. I'm picturing a magical place.
