Hey!

Whatta great site! Just reading all the
messages and perusing the website gives
me a very pleasant, nostalgic feeling. It's
going on 3 years since I've been home and
the thought of having a genuine pasty made in
da good ol' U.P. makes my mouth water! I'm
going to order some!

Matt, a google search on "natural wall" found http://www.copperrange.org/natural.htm. Unfortunately, a link to the first photo is broken.

Hello from Columbus, Ohio! I used to live in Calumet back in the early 1980's. Tonight, my sister and I were sitting around and craving pasties. I teased her that we should look up "pasties.com" on the web and sure enough, there you were. We made our first order. We can't wait to taste them again. Thanks.

I'd like to say "Hello" to a couple of my old friends: Bob Bedore and Hunter and Patty Watson.

Surfing the Pasty.com messages from Calumet High students and haven't run into anyone from the class of '46. I know you're out there! I can't be the only alumni that's this old!
Hope to hear from some of you. Live in the Chicago area and miss the beautiful U.P.

Dave,

Do you have any pictures of that giant pasty? We would love to show it here at Pasty Central.

Hi, fellow Yoopers!

It's great fun to visit this website! I'm the youngest son of the last owner of Star Bakery in Hancock, Edwin Ryynanen. That's where I learned to make pasties in commercial quantities. In '66 (or '67?) the Star Bakery was the scene where a bunch of us Suomi College students put together "The World's Largest Pasty," a 500 pound giant that (unfortunately) never got eaten, but it did get some footage on WLUC TV.

Hello You!
I love your site, and I'm a Pastie lover from WAY back. My grandfather, Albert Hill from
Laurium, worked in virtually every mine in Kew-
eenaw County. He was from Cornwall himself, and
was married to the best Pastie maker on the face
of the earth!!
My grandmother's sister taught in the first
one-room school in Eagle River, Emma Sibilsky.
I hope to visit your shop this summer, as I
think I'll be bringing my 88 year old mother up to
her Calumet/Sacred Heart reunion.
Keep up the good work! The Copper Country is
a world apart!!

In response to Ray Hosking as to the street cars. I remember the street cars as my Mother used to take me to Calumet and to Florida Location, Laurium on the street car when I was a toddler. Her family lived on the corner of Franklin Ave and I believe it was Scott street in Florida location. The street car ran by the house. The "Car Barn" was just a few blocks up from their house. We would get on the street car in Ahmeek at the"Station". That building is still there on U.S.41 having been operating as a gas station over the years. As to Electric park, I recall my parents talking about going there in their courting days. I don't recall when the street cars stopped operating but as more households bought automobiles I'm sure caused their demise.

Monday morning I followed your "Click Here" link on the April Fools' pasty Cam page, and it showed all of the versions of Pasty Central back to 1996. This afternoon, it's not working. What gives?

Hello to all who tuned in on April 1 !! I hope you checked out the WAYBACK MACHINE to see how Pasty Central has changed over the years.
