I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.
There’s something indescribable about walking through old buildings. I’m left wondering how many other people have walked this same path without acknowledging the countless others who will follow. Detroit is a hotbed of old buildings, vacant and occupied, for people to explore.
The rankings categorized all these aquariums by the proportion of Tripadvisor reviews that used the words “beautiful”, “breathtaking”, and “picturesque”. Approximately 30.7 percent of reviews referenced the beauty of the Belle Isle Aquarium, more than any other aquarium in the nation.
Tripadvisor isn’t just a good source for polls like this, but it’s also a great place to find a place to stay if you plan on visiting the Bell Isle Aquarium. The absolute best part about visiting is that it’s free.
