Not to argue the point, all I know is I checked on the internet and it appears I spelled it correctly.
It's hard to argue with the internet, ya know everything on it is factual.
Apparently, it's spelled both ways. Or, maybe not.
Not something I really give a damn about, just say'n....

To the Upper Peninsula citizens, anyone living in the rest of Michigan (which is South of the bridge) are trolls because they live under the bridge.

MACKINAC BRIDGE AUTHORITY
Spanning the Straits of Mackinac since 1957

Welcome to the Mackinac Bridge Website!
Mission Statement: The Mackinac Bridge Authority is committed to preserve and maintain the State of Michigan’s single largest asset and one of the world’s leading suspension bridges to provide safe, pleasurable and expedient passage over the Straits of Mackinac for economic benefit and improved quality of life.

The Mackinac (pronounced "Mack-in-awe") Bridge (1957) spans the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, connecting the Lower and Upper peninsulas of Michigan. Prior to the construction of the bridge, a fleet of nine ferries would carry as many as 9,000 vehicles per day, with traffic backups stretching as long as 16 miles.

The next image (Figure 11b) reveals how the view will be changed by the construction of the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind energy installation.

The 13MW wind turbines, among the largest anywhere in the world, are hardly even discernible against the horizon. They are at least 15 miles offshore from this beach. They will be at least 15 miles distant from any vantage point on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island.

There once were some fans off Nantucket.
But, people there all said "Oh, **** it"
Alexandria, in tears, said,
"We'll die in twelve years!"
Well, Ocasio-Cortez can just **** it.

quote Originally posted by rinselberg: That is a photographic SIMULATON of the view from a vantage point on the shore of Nantucket Island, looking towards the Cape Wind energy project--a project that was stopped before any construction began. Vineyard Wind 1 is a different and newer project. "Farther offshore is better."

My limerick is also just a simulation. AOC doesn't know how. (to spell Nantucket)
