Comment by Nevar — March 12, 2008 @ 11:03 am certainly some of those buying-up shoreline, particularly Lk Mich shoreline, are Big 3 retirees, but the vast majority are rich retirees from chicago. not just retirees. many are just filthy rich and have built their million+ dollar summer "cottages" on the dunes overlooking the lake. michigan's western shoreline has become a chicago suburb. it's a real shame! the bastards!
