Peek Inside the Winn House – A Historic Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Kalamazoo
There are roughly 30 homes in Michigan designed by the late Frank Lloyd Wright and this stunning home in Kalamazoo just hit the market for a little under $1.9 million. If I asked you to name the first architect that comes to mind, Frank Lloyd Wright's name would likely roll off your tongue. He's credited with designing over 1,000 structures during his lifetime and his influence on other designers throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Charming Or Challenging? $300K Castle In Port Huron Might Be Your Next Big Project
A castle for sale in Michigan seems to have "good bones", but that's not all it's got...

Someone could turn this into a really wonderful home - or bed and breakfast!"

Michigan Public School Systems Among The Worst In America
One of the biggest decisions that a parent gets to make is where their child goes to school during their K-12 years. Elementary and middle school options are normally more plentiful but as you grow older the selection slims, and you're left to choose between a couple of private schools and 1 or 2 public schools. For some families, school options are a deal breaker because of their beliefs in the education system.

Can Michigan Expect Robot Snowplows Soon? The Current Status
Originally, I sought to write an article about Michigan's beach-combing "Wall-E," affectionately referred to as "BeBot." BeBot (pictured below) autonomously roams Michigan's sandy coastlines, picking up litter left by its human creators. However, as fascinating as this is, I was left with one lingering question: If they can make a garbage-eating, beach-roaming robot, is there hope that someday we will be able to use a similar implement to handle Michigan's snow?

Hell, I might even put in an offer.

One of the places I was yanked into was Kinney Shoes...and I haven't heard of them since. What happened? Where did they go?

This Family Made The Wildest Impulse Buy In Michigan
When I make an impulse buy, usually it's a Snickers bar or a video game I'll play for 10 minutes and never touch again. Rarely are impulse buys something that amounts to anything of real value, but a family in Michigan's Upper Peninsula boldly decided to buy and repair a historic lighthouse on the Keweenaw Peninsula. A bit more serious than a candy bar.
