April 3, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Ishpeming /ˈɪʃpəmɪŋ/ is a city in Marquette County in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 6,470 at the 2010 census. This is down from a higher population in the 1950s and 1960s when the economically supportive iron ore mines employed more workers. A statue of a Native American figure, erected in 1884 in the small town square, is referred to as "Old Ish".

There is a free outdoor "museum" behind the shop that has lots of funny & interesting things about Yoopers. The shop itself has so many funny things you can spend an hour just looking through it. It is a good place to buy funny cards for friends as well as gifts. It looks cheesy on the outside but it is worth a stop!
