Many of you may have passed through Superior on your way to Grand Portage to catch a boat out to Isle Royale. Others may be history buffs, and some may be fans of quality craftsmanship. It is these people I'm posting this link for, since it doesn't relate to IR.
The Old Globe grain elevator in Superior was once the largest in the world. Its made out of old growth lumber forested in the 1800s and of quality we may never see again. The lumber in the Globe is being slowly reclaimed. A group of individuals take it down, board by board, and sell the lumber for various projects. Lots of it is in use in local businesses.
Ultimately, their project is running out of money. The link before has a short video about the project, but more impressively many pictures of this old piece if history. I figured this appeals to many people here, so....
