This book is primaarily about the history of the businesses along Highway 61 as it comes through the downtown area and the side avenues to leading to Wisconsin Street, where Vol. I left off. The book is well documented and contains many photos and maps.</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Having grown up in Grand Marais and being a fourth generation Cook County family</p><p>member, the commitment Gene Glader has made to preserve our small town history is so</p><p>commendable. I enjoyed Gene's first book Downtown Grand Marais and even with the</p><p>influence of storytelling family members, I learned a great deal about the streets I call home.</p><p>Downtown Grand Marais Volume II tells the rest of the story and takes us on a walk through</p><p>the hillsides of Grand Marais and additional changes to "downtown" and along the Highway</p><p>61 corridor.</p><p>I'm old enough to remember shopping at Bud's Superette and I also worked during my teen</p><p>years next door at Marvel's Dress Shop. I now spend my days at Visit Cook County which</p><p>once was the Pure Oil Station and Wally's Service. Oh, if the walls could talk. This is a book</p><p>that needs to be on the coffee table. It will spark many memories. Enjoy"</p><p>Linda Jurek -Executive Director of Cook County Events and Visitors Bureau</p><p>It was SO FUN to read Downtown Grand Marais, Vol. II, Gene Glader's newest book. We</p><p>are all lucky to be the beneficiaries of Glader's interest in the history of Grand Marais. As a</p><p>"non-local" resident (23 years) of Cook County, I was enchanted by the photographs and</p><p>history of places that I not only hadn't ever seen, but also had never even heard about. Dr.</p><p>Glader's introduction regarding change and planning for the future was an excellent backdrop</p><p>for reading about the past and dreaming about the future. Especially enjoyable to me were</p><p>the juxtaposed photographs of properties from the 1900s and now. Anyone who has spent</p><p>time in Grand Marais will appreciate Downtown Grand Marais Vol. II.</p><p>Karen Blackburn, Executive Director of Cook County Higher Education.</p><p>"How did you get here?" It's a question whose answer has varied widely across time. Boat?</p><p>Dog sled? Foot? Car? Gene has captured the development of the Highway 61 corridor and its</p><p>influence on the character of our town in shocking detail. Downtown Grand Marais, Vol. II</p><p>is an essential guide to the history of the main artery that feeds our little town.</p><p>Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux, Grand Marais Mayor</p><br>
