New here, been lurking for a while after watching hours of hobbyphillic and Chris Manzoni while researching my first set. Nothing too new or exciting to share but hope to upgrade my setup over the years.

Welcome fellow up-norther! What river or lake system do you live by? That is the only way I navigate north of Bay City... :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

No I grew up in Ogemaw County. Now I'm a city boy.

Nice set-up btw and hit me up if you have any questions!
 
Welcome from Southeast Michigan! Those are the two sets I currently have too lol. I've been looking to upgrade as well

That's hilarious, it's hands down the easiest way to find your way around up here. I live on the West side by lake charlevoix. Will do, thank you for the warm welcome

Yah for the price and design it was hard to pass up. I got the monicos from discount poker and the casino royals from thepokerstore. Overall good experience and the guys (and gals) that attend the home games have enjoyed the upgrade.

Any sets you got your eye on? Ceramics? China clays?

I tried old school road maps and then google maps. Always got lost.

I went back to reading the rivers and hills when I’m up there. I actually park my car in Saginaw at a park and ride. Then I portage my canoe 20 miles until I reach the Saginaw Bay. Then I paddle, up river, until I reach Lupton…

The area you live in is sick. Tons of rivers and lakes. Plus the west side has a little more going on compared to the east side.

Same here. Used both vendors and they've been great!
I got a bunch of samples from Apache and thepokerstore. I like the Mirages and The Dunes (Apache) along with a few dealer buttons and the Rustic Ceramics fron the Pokerstore. Havent pulled the trigger on any yet

Welcome for SE Michigan. Looking at a vacation spot near you. Trying to decide if now is the right time to buy something or not.

Honestly the housing market is crap up here, your looking at 60 year old fixer uppers for $200k plus with no lake access. Wait for a correction, I'll probably move farther south before it even does

I've been eyeing somen of the Tina ceramics. An Aria set or some Rio WSOP replicas would be cool
 
Good to know.
We have a place in St. Helen Michigan, kinda northern-mid. I have seen many more houses than usual on my zillow feed, and it seems like they usually have a price decrease after a few weeks. We are not in as expensive an area as OP for sure, but it sort of feels like demand is dropping. It probably peaked around 2022 if I had to guess.
 
Waiting for a Yooper to join the thread and tell OP that Charlevoix is not "northern Michigan," then start bitching about trolls.

Its what we do on PCF; we split hairs.

Welcome to PCF, tho.

Know many yoopers, even lived in the UP. Never have heard one refer to the UP specifically as northern Michigan (maybe the entire region). Closest I've heard to that is stating "up north" when asked where they live.

Yah thanks for the warm welcome
