I have lived in Michign 55 years out of my 65 years. Our State Parks are the BEST. Our roads, no comment. However, I can remember the best in the world. The Auto capital of the world. The beauty of the State is tuff to surpass. I LOVE living here.

Some have stated that the term “Michigander” implies reference to the male gender. I say we’re all from Michigan!

Born & raised here all my life. I can’t think of a more beautiful state to live, especially in the summer! There are so many breathtaking attractions to see & so many recreational things to do! I am a fan of Northern Michigan. Great memeories of many vacations! I reside in the lower state suburbs & my favorite, happy place is Northern MI! I love to fish the Ausable River! There is alot of History generated from our beautiful state as well! Always will be a Michigandor!!!
