Here in the Straits of Mackinac lots of the vacation and retirement homes are named. Some of these date back to Victorian times and some are new. Houses and businesses on Mackinac Island only received numbers in the last year in response to the needs of 9-1-1 service (there is no home delivery of mail on the island, only P.O. boxes). The official naming and numbering of streets was not without controversy. Lynn Evans
