Just before this issue went to press, I came across the November issue of Coastal Living, a well known lifestyle magazine on a national scale, which contained a six-page spread on Door County. November, the article states, is the month when local residents take a break from work to enjoy the peninsula. It goes on to assert, however, that it’s also a great time for visitors to explore the county in a less-congested state. Ironically, if even a fraction of Coastal Living’s million-plus readers takes this advice, there will be no peace in Door County in November…or the rest of the winter for that matter. Hmm, wouldn’t that be a wonderful problem? Shops ablaze, restaurants humming, hotels and inns proclaiming “Sorry” – well into the off-season.
