Let’s get this out of the way: The lake can be cold. You snap on a pair of water shoes on a warm summer day and step gingerly into the clear Lake Superior waters of Madeline Island’s Big Bay. Edging ever deeper, though, is a process. You inhale sharply with every step, advancing to your waist, your chest, your shoulders — and finally, full submersion. But once your body adjusts to the shock, the feeling is completely invigorating. Curative. As summer vacation returns with a vengeance, the Midwest’s best beaches will provide a no-frills escape this year. These aren’t the Gulf Stream waters, and this certainly isn’t the Caribbean. But from the Great Lakes to the 10,000 Lakes, the best beaches of the “North Coast” are collectively like our Caribbean. So don’t let the coastal elites tell you that the Midwest has no beaches. They have no idea. Here, we share 12 of our favorites. By Simon Peter Groebner and Kerri Westenberg, Star Tribune Jun 28, 2021

The sale brings to a close an 11-year effort by seller Russ Rosenzweig to sell the five-bedroom, 4,500-square-foot Art Moderne-style mansion, which was built in 1938 and sold by Rebori to shoe heiress and sculptor Lillian Florsheim in 1946. Constructed as a single-family house with a separate guesthouse, the mansion was expanded in the 1950s by Goldberg, who was Florsheim’s son-in-law. Goldberg designed a link between the two structures in the form of a long, galley-style kitchen that now provides indoor access to both the kitchen and the guesthouse. Of late, the mansion has been used as a single-family house and as a bed-and-breakfast inn.
The Bears placed the franchise tag on Allen Robinson and were unable to negotiate a long-term extension for their top receiver. Robinson will make just under $18 million this season on the tag. … Marquise Goodwin agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million deal in April. … The team used a sixth-round pick to draft North Carolina’s Dazz Newsome. … Damiere Byrd signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal in May. … The Bears traded Anthony Miller, a 2018 second-round pick, to the Houston Texans last weekend.
Virtue learned about her close contact a few days after arriving in Tokyo and immediately was remanded to “COVID jail,” as quarantine has been derisively referred to here. For the next five days, she remained inside her room at all times, unable to even step outside for fresh air or grab food. Instead, she had meals dropped at her door by UberEats or U.S. volleyball members.
The uptick in ride-share prices was enough to convince Mike Morgan and his wife, Elena, to rely on the “L to get around the city on a recent trip from California, though it sometimes meant waking up earlier. But midmorning one weekday they were running late, and took a ride-share the roughly 1 mile from their hotel to Navy Pier. The cost: $15.
In all, Dressel could leave Tokyo with six medals, which would be two short of Michael Phelps’ historic eight golds in 2008. He’s been advertised as one of the faces of the Summer Games and a focus of media coverage when he’d rather “just shut up and swim,” as he put it before the Olympics.
