I vote to keep the gateway open!!!!! I live in Beaufort, SC and have accessed all areas of the Menominee site looking for family member information. My grandparents resided in Menominee their entire lives. I have been to Menominee and like the area very much. I also vote Menominee's website #1 - this site contains more information than some of the larger cities and is much easier to maneuver than those of the bigger city. Keep up the good work!
