A new sport has come to sports-loving Leelanau County this spring, and this one could increase nostalgia for winter, even as summer’s warmth returns to the land. It could also help revive a once vibrant space in quiet Maple City. The Leelanau Curling Club opened on May 22 in a custom-made facility next to the restaurant Broomstack Kitchen & Taphouse.
Late this past winter, David Gersenson acquired the Sylvan Inn. The founder and former owner of Door to Door Organics, which provides home delivery of organic and natural foods, moved three years ago with wife Theresa and their two children from Nederland, Colo., to nearby Cedar. Gersenson just completed his second Glen Arbor hotel acquisition within five months. We talked with him in mid-July about taking over the Glen Arbor Lakeshore Inn.
