Business M-28 is a 4.8-mile (7.7 km) state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan serving as a business route for U.S. Highway 41 and M-28. It runs through the downtown districts of the historic iron-mining communities Ishpeming and Negaunee. The trunkline was originally a section of these roads until a northerly bypass was built in 1937. M-35 also ran through downtown Negaunee along a section of the highway until the 1960s. A rerouting in 1999 moved the trunkline designation along Lakeshore Drive in Ishpeming, and a streetscape project rebuilt the road in Negaunee in 2005. In Negaunee, the highway passes Jackson Park, where iron ore was first discovered in what became the Marquette Iron Range. The nearby Jackson Mine was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Between 1850 and 1900, half the nation's supply of iron ore came from this region. (Full article...)

Der Busant is a Middle High German verse narrative known from a single manuscript and several fragments. It tells of a love affair between the Princess of France and the Prince of England, who elope but are separated after a buzzard steals one of the princess's rings; after more than a year of separation, with the prince having gone mad and living as a wild man, they are reunited.
This fragment of a linen tapestry, which depicts the prince as a wild man and the princess on her palfrey, is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
