HELP. I've added two new categories. I need help filling them up, with suitable events, places and links.

[edit] Northern Michigan article

Additionally, Alpena area local events do not hardly exist in the Northern Michigan page which has its own list.

We need to put some of these there.

[edit] Cityscape and Historic Landmarks

Dear fellow Alpena/Michigan Wikipedians:

While I'm non the subject of Cadillac, Michigan, I note that they have two subsections in their article that would really fit into the Alpena, Michigan article.

They are

[edit] Cityscape

and

[edit] Historic Landmarks

It would be helpful if someone familiar with the lay of the land could do narrative sections like they did in Cadillac, Michigan.

Just a gentle suggestion and a request for assistance. Thanks 7&6=thirteen (talk) 22:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Stan
