Roughly around 15,000-ish people, this upper peninsula city in Michigan is full of yoopers. Also called "Sewage Ste. Marie" and is surrounded by small towns or townships such as Rudyard (Garbageyard), Pickford (Hickford), Brimley (Buttley), and, to the south, St. Ignace (St. Ignorant).

Most people from the surrounding towns come to Sault Ste. Marie for social reasons and shopping... though there isn't much to do in the Sault, other than bowling and going to a movie.

The main bars & pubs, as of 2010, are seedy, full of high schoolers, and Canadians on Saturdays. You always run into the same cast of townies week in and week out.
