Without the Northern Express, there wouldn't be a grassroots voice in the Traverse City region. And…read moreit would be near impossible to find out what's happening in northern Michigan without this weekly newspaper. The strength of this publication is the events calendar and nightlife section. Families, singles, tourists, locals, young, old alike, will find something to do in these pages. The features are very good, though uneven at times. Also, they tend to lean to anti-establishment causes, but if you can overlook that (doesn't bother me but may others) you'll still love the NE. This magazine, which is available free from newsstands or for $52 for a full year, has little room for improvement. The publisher knows they have a winning formula and they stick to it. But to get to five stars, how about some more intriguing photos from this beautiful region (enough of the bar scene photos of whoever and whoever staring drunk into the camera) and some harder-hitting local features?

I love this paper, I really do. Whether you live in the area or are just visiting, this well…read morewritten weekly is absolutely essential to navigating your time in Leelanau County. Trust me, you NEED this paper. When I arrive at Glen Lake, the very first thing I do is pick up the current Enterprise. In publication since 1877, the Enterprise is an integral part of the county, providing details on community events (church suppers, fundraisers, speakers, group meetings, etc.), local real estate listings and other classifieds, sports (local, of course), business, obituaries, etc. It has a clear focus on local news, so don't be surprised by the deer hunting photos in the fall or a 2 page spread on a local bond debate. I particularly enjoy the "This week in Leelanau County History" and editorial sections, including the letters to the editors - we have a lot of very interesting and very smart characters up here! If you are a part-time resident as I am, the Enterprise quickly gets you back up to speed with area news after an absence. Don't skip the classifieds or any of the advertisements as they often clue you in to dining specials, seasonal business hours, and fantastic estate sales. It also makes great kindling for your fire once you've read and re-read it. :) The Enterprise is, without a doubt, the best source of information in Leelanau County. With an easy to use website and out of town subscriptions available, you never have to be out of the loop even if you aren't up North.
