I Like Cherries

Note to Ms. Marchetti, those of us who reside "Up North" love our raw cherries too!

See NPR: Pucker Up For Sour Cherries
It wasn't until the late 1980s that sour cherries entered my orbit again, when I headed to Detroit to take my first newspaper reporting job. By day I chased local news, but on my own time I chased local foods. I soon discovered that the northwestern part of the state along the shores of Lake Michigan (fondly known to Michiganders as Up North) is the sour cherry capital of the U.S.
