THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN DOWNTOWN - (old map was only quickly edited for now)
JULY 2023 - The large old parking deck was demolished and a NEW PARKING AREA with Green Space, gardens, picnic areas etc, has been created behind us. There will no longer an upper deck, just the lower level. Please note, there is a handicapped ramp-way and stairs combo that takes you up to Shelden Avenue from the Lakeshore Drive parking areas, this is located between us and Joey's Seafood, as noted by the lighter pink on the maps below. We also have a NEW 15 MINUTE LOADING/UNLOADING ZONE directly in front of our building, great if you need to pop in and out of our shop quick!
Also, please be aware, the City is working to enforce the 2 hour parking time frame too, not allowing folks to just roll their car forward or back every 2 hours in order just stay where they were for the whole day, this should help keep the 2 hour spots open on Shelden Avenue as well as the side streets. IF YOU ARE CURIOUS TO SEE THE DECK DEMO look for the many videos on our Facebook page, starting June 20th and work your way back up the page to stay in order GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO OUR SHOP: Coming from Hancock? if you are traveling south over the Portage Lift Bridge, turn right onto a small access road just after the big ole Powerhouse (which houses Orbion Space Technology), then turn right on Lakeshore Drive and follow it until you are behind our building and park on the waterfront* OR get into the lane that will take you up to Montezuma Avenue and follow that back around and into downtown Houghton to find a spot to park on Shelden Avenue. Coming from the Mall/Walmart direction? part way down the hill look for the "RV Park" signs and turn on that road, traveling down to the beach/waterfront (Kestner Park/Chutes and Ladders), then stay on Lakeshore Drive until you are behind our building and park on the waterfront* OR stay on the main road as it turns into Montezuma Avenue and follow that back around and into downtown Houghton, to find a spot to park on Shelden Avenue. Coming from MTU? you can stay on College Avenue and just after going past the Miner statue, turn down the hill by the Krist Gas Station (or other lake-aiming side street), follow along down there on Lakeshore Drive until you are behind our building* OR stay on Shelden Avenue and look for a parking spot out front. *we are directly between Joey's Seafood and The Den buildings, smack up against the new ADA rampway/stairs - PLEASE USE OUR SHELDEN AVENUE LOBBY ENTRANCE If we have prearranged with you to pick up something at our EMPLOYEE ONLY, LAKESHORE DRIVE SHIPPING/RECEIVING AREA, this is the door you will be looking for (see below) - we may have the door locked, if so be sure to call us once you've arrived and someone will come down to let you in 906-482-3903 our location as seen on a Google map:
