We drove 736.7 miles from Omaha, Nebraska to visit this store and meet the Sunrise Guy, Bugsy Sailor. It was worth every minute, mile, and drop of gas! Thank you Bugsy. So glad you were in the store today and we got to meet you!

Stopped by on a trip to Marquette, the store owner, Bugsy, is featured in an episode of the excellent TV show, Joe Pera Talks With You, which is set in Marquette and partially filmed there. Found a few lovey things to bring home including some sunrise prints, a bumper sticker, and some cards. Definitely worth a stop-in!
