has gloss | (noun) a town in northwest Wisconsin on Lake Superior across from Duluth Superior |
has gloss | eng: Superior is the name of a longstanding 51st state proposal involving the secession of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from the rest of the state of Michigan, due to cultural differences, as well as the feeling that the capital in Lansing ignores the problems of the Upper Peninsula. Named for Lake Superior, the idea has gained serious attention at times, though it is quite unlikely to ever come to fruition due to the large amount of funding that the area receives from the lower part of the state, and the strong connections that were cemented by the completion of the Mackinac Bridge, which gave the peninsula a direct highway connection to the rest of the state. |
