One popular Michigan sculpture park is hosting a new exhibit that's worth the road trip:
Fall the perfect time to check out beautiful gardens, and one popular Michigan sculpture park is hosting a new exhibit. Of course, you might think of summer as being a better time to visit gardens, but with fall foliage in full bloom during the autumn months, it's really a beautiful time, too.

What’s your favorite Don Henley song? (It’s Dons birthday today). Ever hear how Bob Seger got him to change The Boys of Summer?
What did Bob Seger say to Don Henley that changed one of Don's biggest solo hits? It's an amazing story from producer Niko Bolas. You'll also discover that the song (at least the music) was created by Tom Petty's guitar player for Tom...like we said, it's an amazing story. https://www.tiktok.com/

We say "surprisingly" because he started out playing drums in a p
Love it when a local business reopens with new life!
It's always sad when a beloved local restaurant or bar closes down, but then, it's super happy news when that said restaurant or bar reopens. Such is the case with a Michigan restaurant that has reopened after being closed more than a decade. That's such a long time to be away, but what's nice is th
Who is in charge of the lawn at your house?
I was listening to Big Jim's House the other morning and they were discussing a viral video of a man losing it because his wife was trying to mow the lawn. He did not feel that she was mowing the lawn properly.

Okay Detroit Lions fans - would you make this trade? Training camp is right around the corner (is this the year?)
