Many of the shops on Sheridan Street seem to have been closed up for the season. One shop had soda's unique to Ely- we got a blueberry soda and some Minnesota buzz. We were able to visit Mealey's and found some wonderful unique gifts for my in-laws. If you are in the area, check them out, but if you want to make a trip, wait until summer when more of these shops will be open.

Great shops with great deals in the fall, off-peak season. A few places had closed up for the winter but we still found lots to keep our interest on a rainy fall day.

Love all the shops and the friendly people they all make you feel welcomed and are interested in you.

Love the 2 live cams on Sheridan - I watch them every day from 7 hrs. away - just to see what is happening!

LOVE the unique shops and galleries, got a great pedi at Roots to revive my feet after Quetico portages, the Chocolate Moose, Rockwoods, Sir G's, and The Front Porch all offer delicious dining and treats, no trip is complete without locating more "must have" trip gear at Piragis.

Typical very small town experience tailored to the tourist, canoeist, fisherman and of course the shopper, Well worth a stroll down the two parallel streets to see if you meet someone you might know. Also send yourself back home on the local web cams accessed from the Ely website.

Sheridan street with all the gift shops, restaurants, bait shops, and bars is everything you want to see while walking up hill to the park and perhaps take in a ball game when the American Legion teams are playing. 4th of July parade is a hoot.

I must visit Sheridan Street, each year to find the gifts to take home. I love all the Northwood gifts.

Scenic historic shopping street worth a visit. Liked Steger mukluks, Ely Steakhouse, Chocolate Moose.

Great Main Street feel! Lots of shops carrying everything from t-shirts/sweatshirts to camping gear to rocks and everything in between. Parking can sometimes be a problem but usually you can find a spot or better yet, park and walk to truly enjoy the experience.

Ely is a beautiful town, though not much going on at night there. Folks really using it as a launching pad for a boundary waters trip. I will say that you can buy all the equipment you need at the outfitting stores, some of which are open till 9pm.

Wat a fun place to go and say HI to all your friends and family! Just don't block the street!! Good place for photo opps, too.
