The Mine Shaft is Reopening!
Big news greeted me today when I pulled our weekend edition of the local newspaper, the Daily Mining Gazette, from the mailbox: The Mine Shaft, a bowling/arcade/restaurant/go-kart/mini-golf/etc. complex that shuttered mere months after our arrival, will be back by the end of the summer.
This is fantastic news because, as the new owners of the complex correctly identified to the Daily Mining Gazette, the Houghton Hancock area needs more entertainment (though there is no shortage of outdoor activities -more on that in subsequent posts). Besides, the Mine Shaft was just a really fun, family-friendly place to hang out that was unique in the Keweenaw.
Good luck to new owners Trifecta Management Group. They reportedly have a lot of experience making properties like this successful, and I look forward to seeing — and enjoying — what they do with the Mine Shaft.
