There are lots of fishing charters on the Great Lakes -- just a quick google shows a bunch departing out of Mackinaw City, and I bet you could meet them on the Island.
Golf, Arch Rock, bike around the island, hike up to the Fort, and hang out downtown is about all there is to do there.
Note about the Grand: there is a cover charge just to enter the grounds.

Civil Service rules in New Orleans ensure that the worst, least qualified people remain there forever. They cannot be fired, especially because they are black. The closest thing to communism that we have in the state.

Come to Germany and you will find most prefer paying with bar. There's an ice cream shop in our mall that doesn't accept cards. Still many taxis that don't accept cards.
Still see a lot of Nur Bargeld places, but more and more I've seen Keine Bargeld / Nur Kartenzahlung. Crazy.

Shinobi arcade game and Book-It free pizzas. Take me back!

The sad thing about the coliseum is that once you've walked up to Tiger Stadium, with very similar architecture, it's... so small.
Only on this board would someone compare the Colosseum unfavorably to Tiger Stadium. LSU fans...wow.
Cole Hahn Oxfords or similar can dress up or down and are comfy.

The old Bruno's had a smokeshow blonde bartender for a long time. She went to Riverdale, can't remember anything beyond that in the haze of the early 2000's.
Wasn’t she a cop, or maybe dated a cop? What was her name again? Leslie ?
YES! Great memory. I think she was working at the new Bruno's for a while too.

Any recent reports from Tyrol? Specifically Kitzbuhel, Soell / Wilder Kaiser, Alpbachtal areas?
60 degrees and sunny most afternoons, but it did get below freezing and night so the snow was pretty good in the mornings. Lower elevation areas sucked but above ~ 1600 meters was fine.

Two memories stand out.
Tulane graduation pre-Katrina was held here, had a great meal in the Quarters afterwards.
Temporary casino while they were building Harrah's.
