    Michigander born and bred. I’m 64, and I, like others here will be a Michigander till the day I die. Why anyone felt the need to change is beyond logic. Michiganien, ugh, put it in the trash. Michiganite, I’m not going to even comment. It’s not worthy.

    I live in Michigan right about here (while holding up mittened hand and pointing) is my usual response.

    I’ve been a Michigan resident for only about 6 months (used to be a Buckeye). I thought Michigander was the “official” designation. Actually, I was going for Yooper.

    I’m from Michigan, but moved to Colorado in 1981. I LOVE your candles. I got my first one at the Ben Franklin store in East Tawas, while visiting my mom, who lives there. Since then, I have ordered candles from your website.

    I have always heard that we were Michiganders. Seeing we have all these Canadian geese around that is a good reason too.
