I hope you won’t mind me doing a shameless plug for my T-shirts. I am working on my book, ( which I hope to have available in May) and although it’s not that expensive to publish a book, I do have some expenses to pay for. Lost In Michigan and Pure Michigander T-shirts and Hoodies
I was heading back home to Saginaw after taking some pics in Clio. I did not want to take the same way back home down I75 or Dixie so instead, I went east a couple of miles then turned north figuring if I got lost I would eventually hit M46, and then I could take
I was roaming around Battle Creek on a quiet Saturday morning and I saw this colorful and profound mural on the back of a building. Hand painted murals have a way of brightening up some rather dull spaces, and I love finding them in unexpected places. Not only is this a beautiful mural, but it
I saw this old house, that’s beautiful in a spooky kinda way, near Clio. It’s on Dixie Highway, or at least that is what I call it, maybe it’s Dort, but I digress. I know absolutely nothing about this house, but I had to stop and take a photo of it as it looks out

The internet can sometimes be like that friend who tells you things without any regards to your feelings, kinda like Dr. Sheldon Cooper. I was doing some research on Mio and then I saw it in big bold text on google Oscoda County Courthouse Destroyed by Fire May 6th, 2016. I remember making an image
Six weeks after Dorr E. Felt and his family moved into the completed mansion in 1928 near Holland, his wife Agnes suddenly died. A year and a half later Mr. Felt died never having much time to enjoy their magnificent new home. Some believe their spirits still haunt the 25 rooms. There is also an urban legend
I went on a whirlwind tour of southwestern Michigan, and after stopping near Benton Harbor, I wanted to go to St Joseph but somehow I made a wrong turn. As I was driving I knew something was wrong and made a turn to head a different direction and then I saw this old house next
Michigan winters can be so cruel, if it’s not the brutal cold and gusting winds it’s the heavy snow. The old Granary in Brimley which has been standing over a hundred years since it was built in 1913 could not take the weight of the snow and half of it collapsed on January 23rd, 2017. I
