Good Harbor Beach Inn is undergoing a big repair, reno and rebuild. Its future footprint and layout with the signature terraced design will be the same, as you can see in how it’s been framed up as of March 2024. The demo of the main building is still to come and will be raised 18 inches per the newest FEMA flood map guidelines. A completion date and exterior design details are not ready for release. Although reservations won’t be available in the summer of 2024, there’s hope for the fall 2024. For sure they’ll be booking summer 2025.








Happiest of birthdays to this guy! The fearless leader and ringmaster of The Rhumb Line family! Over many, many years he has created a live music venue/restaurant/bar that SO many have called “home.” He has brought people together and in doing so has created so many beautiful friendships, memories, and reasons for celebration. He has given so many a stage to perform on and a barstool to sit on when they needed it most. What would we do without the Rhumb Line? What would we do without Fred Shrigley? Feel free to share your favorite Rhumb Line story as a gift to Fred….. and come say hello tonight for Bluegrass night at the bar!
