Street names have strong Michigan connection

I just read Aaron Wilson's letter re: the Great Lakes streets in Sandpoint. Had to smile. As a Michigander, it was apparent when we moved here that someone from Detroit named these. Not only are there Lake, Superior, Michigan, Erie and Ontario, but also Huron and St. Clair (between Lakes Huron and Erie by Detroit). And the bonus is Dearborn (a Detroit suburb which no Yooper would admit to knowing about).

The street-namer was a newspaper owner from Detroit that moved here. I had found the information years ago at the museum in Lakeview Park.

Now you know.
