It has a similarly interesting American war vibe, and the movie room was just like in a house that a friend of mine had when I was little.

Badger is the last of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad's railcar ferries - from a lineage starting in 1897 - to ply the lake from the northernmost port of generally ice-free winter waters. the 410' Badger first entered service in 1953 alongside her sister ship the S.S. Spartan (1952). the Badger which has long since been converted for hauling cars and trucks and people is the last operational coal fired passenger steam ship on the lakes. the ferry can haul up to 600 people and 180 vehicles each trip. in 2016 the Badger was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of Interior with a much unintended irony...

We booked this motel through booking.com a week and a half before we were supposed to get there…read more When we got there we were informed that their were no rooms left. We were told that it wasn't in his system which really just meant he forgot to write it down since his "system" consisted of a spiral notebook. My guess is that he was able to charge more to someone else so he booked our room and had us look elsewhere. He had us go to econolodge about 11mins away which was great but we had to pay $40 more for the same room. So basically this place probably made an extra $30 charging someone else more money, but used us as a backup plan Incase they weren't able to fill the rooms, and we got screwed because Econolodge (rightfully so) wasn't willing to honor this places pricing

Last summer, I was able to cruise Lake Michigan from Manitowoc to Ludington to take advantage of…read moresome opportunities in Western Michigan (another entire story) so the Badger and I became reacquainted. This is my third voyage (I think) on the SS Badger since it began sailing as the Lake Michigan Ferry. On my trip, I got to visit another survivor, the SS City of Milwaukee, sister ship to the PM 21 and PM 22. The SS City of Milwaukee is a floating museum in Manistee, Michigan and you can ever stay overnight in a stateroom! My family lived in Michigan for a couple of years when I was very young, and we made the Lake Michigan crossing often. My favorite ferries were the Pere Marquette 21 and Pere Marquette 22, ships that had been built in the 1920s and were loaded with Art Deco décor and fixtures. They were absolute royalty on Lake Michigan and it broke my heart to hear they were both scrapped. Sailing on the SS Badger is like old times, well, sort of. The Badger is very modern compared to her old sister ships. Modern? Built in 1953? Okay, a newer antique I suppose, the last coal-fired ferry on the Great Lakes, in fact, maybe the last coal fired ship on the Great Lakes. (The coal industry was a major customer of the C&O Railroad, so what other fuel would they have used?) The Badger has all kinds of features that scream "1950s!" but she has been modernized with flat screen televisions in the lounge areas (with satellite programming) food service, and there's a bar. The kids can do a scavenger hunt around the ship and there's even a Bingo game in one of the lounges. Me? I'd rather sleep. Easy enough to do until the kid in the row behind me began kicking the seat. So, I went to take some more photos. Why not? We were in that part of Lake Michigan where Wisconsin has disappeared and Michigan couldn't be seen yet. Oh sure, you can see both shores at 35,000 feet in the airplane, but you can't have your car along. My car was about 50' below me and should have bene waiting for me when I got ashore. Actually, it was one of the first cars onboard, so it was one of the last ones off. Which was okay because I got to take some more photos. If you're planning a trip to Michigan this summer, consider going up to Manitowoc and taking the SS Badger across to Ludington. It's even a shortcut to St. Ignace and the Mackinac Bridge. (Same if you're going from Michigan on your way to the Land of Cheese. When you arrive in Manitowoc, you're only a half hour from Lambeau Field so you can tour a shrine of football.) Not to mention, it's a great, four hour cruise. Just like Mom, Dad, my brother Joe, and I used to do every summer until we moved back to Brown Deer.

There is wi-fi available on the boat, and ample opportunities to watch TV. There is a "comedian" for kids and a variety of so-so food, which is the only reason I can't add one more star. It appears that most of the people on the Badger prefer quantity over quality. One can also sit out on the deck and catch some sun. It was a pleasant part of our trip.

I was so excited when I found this place online! I planned my wedding from San Diego and was…read morelooking for a non-denominational chapel. When I was in town for Christmas a year and a half before my wedding I was able to view a different chapel that was close to the same price, but nowhere near as gorgeous as Sepia! When I discovered this chapel online, I had one of my bridesmaids schedule a visit and FaceTime me as she walked through. I knew instantly that I wanted to get married there and booked my wedding right away! Barry was always available when I had questions and was easy to schedule additional walk-through's with. I was also extremely surprised that they allowed me to do all the things I wanted to do! My flower girls got to throw real flower petals (they're fine with fake ones too) and my hubby and I were able to paint an infinity sign on a canvas for our unity ceremony. I've heard that a lot of places don't allow flower petals, fake or real, and there was no concern with potentially messy paint. Everything I wanted, I got! The rehearsal was a breeze. Barry's check list covered all the final decisions we needed to make or in some cases hadn't thought of. We were able to bring everything to the chapel the night of the rehearsal so it would be there waiting for us when we arrived the next day which made me feel so much less stressed on wedding day! One thing I really liked was that I got to pick all my ceremony music. I made a playlist of prelude music - mostly vitamin string quartet, had a separate playlist for the processional song, another for the bridal processional, then a final list for the recessional. That made it really easy for Barry to handle the music which he played through my phone over their speaker system. The music sounded so beautiful through their speakers! He timed out the recessional song so perfectly too! He was on task all day making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. I'm so glad I found this place, the photos I've seen so far are so beautiful, and I haven't even seen the professional ones yet! You don't need to add anything to make your wedding gorgeous here. We did buy some flowers, but the chapel is amazing on it's own and Barry is so easy to work with. I could go on for days, but one other perk that I actually didn't like about the place initially was that they are right across the street from Pearly Gates bar and grill. At first I thought it seemed kind of tacky, but everyone who had to stay after for pictures loved the fact that they were told to grab a drink across the street, then return for photos. That gave us time for the receiving line and family photos and kept everyone entertained the entire time. It was perfect. Everyone was back right in time for the bridal party photos and our family photos were probably less awkward having fewer people in the room staring at us.

All seemed to be perfect...until we signed the contract and they got their deposit! Then, you can kiss the hospitality and ethics goodbye! Sepia has more than one time slot available each day. So they could potentially have 2 weddings in one day. For the amount of money it costs, you should be THE ONLY wedding that day! You should not have to worry about getting out fast so the other bridal party can get in! And you shouldn't have to worry about walking in on a bride before you! The Covid 19 Pandemic struck. Our DJ, dinner venue and photographer reached out to us to help us reschedule if we needed-NOT SEPIA. Oh no! Barry needed his money. They did not care that this pandemic was out of our control. All of the other people we worked with were so willing to help us and work with us! NOT SEPIA! Our DJ and dinner venue even booked a 2nd date for us in case we couldn't have our May wedding! Just to have as a back up! Sepia would have done that too....but we would have been charged for both days! We were not trying to screw them over! We just wanted them to work with us. Obviously, getting a date again in 2020 was going to be a challenge but if we had to push our date past April 2021, Barry would have charged us AN EXTRA $1,000.00 to do so! In Sepias contract, it says it is not their fault and they will not be held liable for things like weather, fire etc. SO if sepia burns to the ground ... sorry you still owe your full amount. In the end, we are SO thankful Sepia was horrible to work with because the venue we ended up using was BEYOND wonderful! They too had multiple time slots but no matter what we picked, they made sure that day was all ours! Brides and Grooms beware! Don't get sucked in! You never think something like this could happen to you (*a global pandemic) But it could! And people like Sepia-will not care! ADDED* Since this post Sepia did reach out and "took accountability" They said they admit the communication was not good from them, but still, my experience has not changed.
