Finding Fun in Michigan & Beyond
Detroit is the largest city in Michigan. Known as the “Motor City” due to the prominence of auto manufacturing and other transportation industries.
by In the waning days of the fairness doctrine, and before the cheaply produced and political “talk radio” took over the AM band, Night Flight 760 dominated the night.
by With so much talent finding live music in Michigan is easy. We sought out 10 of the best live venues across the state.
Here is our list.
by If you have been housebound for the past year we would like to offer you some potential ideas to explore. Especially during the summer. There is no better place to do that, using safe distance practices, then in Michigan’s Thumb.
by The three major versions of the Michigan Coney Island spark an intense rivalry. We take a test of one of the originals from West Michigan.
by We were amazed to discover that Michigan has 22 scenic byways. These routes can be found from urban Detroit to the Keweenaw Peninsula in the U.P. These adventures can be part of any vacation itinerary.
by A basic winter camping survival shelter can be made by hollowing out a big pile of snow that has been allowed to settle and harden.
They can take several hours to build, but are an effective way to stay warm when camping in the winter.
A quinzhee shelter is warmer than any four season tent.
by While railroads had been in service for much of the major cities in southern Michigan, excursion steamships were still a comfortable and viable option to get to Michigan’s northern resort areas. You could board a ship on a Friday evening, have dinner on board, and arrive in north Michigan the next morning.
by In Part One of our Michigan Day Trip Around the Thumb we traveled from Port Huron up the eastern shore of Lake Huron to the tip of the Thumb. Our starting point for the second half of our adventure is in Grindstone City. We will begin heading west along Saginaw Bay’s shore of sugar sand beaches and interesting coastal towns and villages. I hope you brought your bathing suit because this side of the Thumb offers some of the best swimming beaches in Michigan.
