Retake the North: The Case for Making the U.P. Part of Wisconsin

from Wisconsin's Afternoon News

What started as a lighthearted conversation about renaming lakes turns into a playful campaign to "Retake the North." Nate Baer, founder of RetakeTheNorth.com, joins the show to make the tongue-in-cheek case for why Michigan's Upper Peninsula should belong to Wisconsin, diving into the history of the Toledo War, the cultural ties between the U.P. and the Northwoods, and why so many Yoopers cheer for the Packers. It's a fun look at state pride, regional identity, and one of the Midwest's most entertaining "border disputes."
