- I don't know how to explain in the article what a "location" is in the context of the Copper Country (in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). It is essentially a town, but "locations" don't tend to have a business area, or much of one. Either miners and their families, or people doing something associated with mining, such as running the smelter or lumbermill to make uprights for the mine, lived here, never the owners or managers. They are small. Thus Boston Location (which has its own "Beacon Hill," a little, forlorn hillock!) and so forth. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:04, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- How about (based on what you just wrote) "In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a 'location' is a small settlement with few if any businesses. Locations were generally inhabited by miners, people with mining-related jobs such as running the smelters, and their families."Vicki Rosenzweig 18:09, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
