My friends over at www.MichigansOtherside.com posted a link on their Facebook Page about a house in Saginaw in the 1860s that was haunted.

Alexander Laing patented a solar system model in 1897 to show
I headed down State Street and I noticed some writing on the window at Mooney’s. They are opening Friday, August 11th. You can get all your favorite flavor’s in time for the summer heat. Of course, if you’re a Michigander like me you eat ice cream all year long even on the coldest days of
I was under the Court Street Bridge in Old Town and when I went around the bridge support there was Abraham Lincoln staring back at me. Not the real Abe Lincoln, he died a few years ago but it was a graffiti mural of him painted by an unknown artist. While I was there some people were
