No cars, mist on the Superior shore line.
Hard to top.

I’m in Macomb Co.
Every time I see cigarette butt tossed out the window in front of me - I chuckle to myself “pure Michigan”.
When another kid takes a bullet because their uncle told a passing car to slow down - I shake my head in disgust “pure Michigan”.
Bell’s Two Hearted Ale though, that is “Pure Michigan”.
When government undertakes private-sector functions like buying advertising time, they throw taxpayer money around like waste paper, and typically route the business to firms and people owned by cronies.
The headline misspells the word “Poor”.
As an out-of-stater who sees those ads, I can say they are visually appealing and show some nice attractions I might like to visit. But my state and lots of others do the same so differentiation is a tough nut and everybody is trying to get a larger slice of the same size pie. The pie really hasn’t and can’t grow without real economic growth for the overall country. Nobody wants to really understand or admit that unpleasant truth.
This sounds like the same return on taxpayer funded sports stadiums but I digress.
I love the ads. They make me feel good about my home state. I frequently vacation in mi but I would have even without the ads.
The Texas Tourist Bureau spent an untold amount of taxpayer money to bring “Top Chef”, a cooking show on the Bravo channel, to the state for a season. Total waste of money. Down the drain. Out the window. To the curb in the trash.
They should have hired Ted Nugent to showcase Michigan hunting, except he's left for Texas.
I reside in Michigan part-time and I too enjoy seeing the ads when I am out of state.
These promotions are aired in Wisconsin, I swear it was Robert Redford doing the narration.
As if those tax dollars couldn’t have been put to better use.
Near Gaylord the tourists are nearly overwhelming at times.
No cars, mist on the Superior shore line.
Hard to top.
Golf, fishing, hunting, cabins. The season this past summer was tremendous. People from almost every state were here. I met them.
I took my son fishing in the up in august. Had a great time. Problem with northern mi is its awesome only 12 weeks a year unless you love winter.
I would LOVE to tour Detroit......In an armored Brinks truck that is....
Amazing place.
But Feb can be rough.
THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS ARE A SLUSH FUND FOR LIBERALS!
The government does not ‘help’ anyone but itself.
