There’s something special about the Michigan experience. We in the Mitten State just have a certain way about us that makes us unique. Maybe it’s the weather, our geography or our proximity to the Great Lakes that makes us do what we do. We think there are a few things that just about all of us Michiganders have experienced (OR SHOULD HAVE) at least once.
