1.  Interlochen Public Radio's Call-in Show "Points North"

Lead-in Text: Since the age of steamships northern Michigan has been a destination. People flocked here and left behind the grit of city life if only for a vacation.

Lead-in Text: This winter, there have been discussions about inviting people from New York City -- people traumatized by the attacks of September 11th -- to Northern Michigan for respite.  The idea of the area as a place of refuge is not new.  It's at least as old as the crumbling state hospital.  And as Peter Payette reports, it continues to draw people here today.
