We thank you for your support as you make this worthwhile for us. I am limiting the printing to 200 calendars this… Read more »
I’ll be in Leland with my daughter next week, so expect some posts. The weather looks like it will be in the 40s all week, so it might make for some good hiking. Definitely hot chocolate weather! Today’s post is a throwback to a Leelanau Enterprise dated 12/27/1934. You can see the subscriber name printed right at the top of… Read more »
A couple of oldies, but goodies! From the lens of Erhardt Peters way up above Lake Leelanau looking West, date unknown, but you can plainly see the foundry in the background across the river. In the aerial photo, you can see the undeveloped land along the river and the golf course. The view below of Fishtown from Pearl St. Snowfall… Read more »
(Report by Jim, 1/28/21) Another milestone reached! Our Leland Reporter Keith is celebrating a 60th wedding anniversary with Mrs. Leland Reporter Joanne. Can’t think of a better place to celebrate it. Congratulations! BTW, I am the cute one in the photo below. You can’t miss me. 😀 Sugar Loaf in the early 1970s. I must have been schussing. Yeah, I… Read more »
A couple of sunset photos from Meggen for Monday’s Leland Report.

Please read about the current situation and do what you can to pressure your representatives to do the right thing for the remaining family-owned… Read more »
(Report by Jim) Today’s photos older than most of the early 1900s shots we’ve shown here. These are part of a collection that Marv Anderson let me scan many years ago. I thought these might be Beebe images (possibly the Glen Arbor shot below), but the handwriting is different. Though I think these are too early to be Erhardt Peters…. Read more »
(Report by Jim) Happy Halloween! Hope everyone is enjoying the Blue Moon and having as much fun as you can during these trying times. I remembered we haven’t shown any Erhardt Peters photos in a while. These are prints that are part of the collection of 778 photos we helped raise funds to purchase as a donation to the Leelanau… Read more »
