Keep your money in this state
Let's face it. Michigan can really benefit from a few less dollars heading overseas. We as individuals may not be able to control our jobs leaving our state, but at least we can try to keep as much of the money we spend from leaving too.

Mackinac Island, Michigan
My Visit to Mackinac Island for the First Time
When I was five months pregnant and experiencing morning, noon and night sickness we traveled to Mackinac Island, Michigan for the first time. We had heard how beautiful this part of Michigan was and wanted to experience it ourselves.

However he has a lot of friends who have shared their stories throughout the years. Some of the more famous stories are the hauntings around the Denton Road area right outside of Ypsilanti.

Living in Saginaw, Michigan: An Experience in Mid-Michigan
What's it like to live in/near Saginaw, Michigan?
While Saginaw isn't the most glamorous place to live, there are some fun things to do there. I completed my undergraduate education at the university located (immediately) north of the city: Saginaw Valley State University. The campus is a gorgeous campus to walk around.
