Through the month of March, the city of Grand Marais was in the running to be crowned America’s Coolest Small Town by Budget Travel. People in Cook County and around the globe went to the travel magazine website and clicked to vote for Grand Marais. The regional pride was fierce, but Grand Marais beat out towns such as Chincoteague, Virginia; Hillsborough, North Carolina; Crested Butte, Colorado and several others. Last week the Grand Marais Public Utilities Commission crew hung a special banner over Wisconsin Street to celebrate the designation.
