Alpena, a city of about 10,200 people, is the seat of Alpena County and the largest city in northeast Lower Michigan, on Thunder Bay off Lake Huron. It is home to the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center, which tell the story of the area's many shipwrecks.
Alpena Community College, MyMichigan Medical Center, the cement plant and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center are major employers. US-23 runs along the lakeshore and M-32 heads west toward Gaylord and I-75, so billboards reach residents, workers and summer visitors.
