Former Michigan Summer Camp Land Purchased To Be State Game Area
I don't know about you all but some of my best memories growing up were from summer camps. Spending a week or more at a time away from my family and friends wasn't always something I was looking forward to but the amount of fun that I had each and every time was more than enough to make me forget about all of that. Places like Sherman Lake, Beechpoint, and Pretty Lake are important to me and some still serve children today.

National Retailer Coming to Jackson, Michigan’s Vacant Party City Location
The vacant building at 1510 N. West Avenue in Jackson, Michigan has housed at least two national retailers; both disappeared completely (though one was absorbed by another chain), and a third retail chain is now slated to open in the same location. The first failed big box store was Office Depot, which still technically exists at 1515 Boardman Road in Jackson as Office Max since the 'Depot' and the 'Max' merged in 2013, the same year as the store's closure. Party City moved in right after the Office Max closure and remained until the company declared bankruptcy and closed the Jackson location on April 26, 2023. Over a year later, it looks like a new tenant, with "Good Stuff Cheap," will be opening in late summer or early fall.

Why is Mosquito Season Worse in Michigan This Year?
Mosquito season in Michigan is longer and more intense than in past years. Here's why. If you feel like mosquitos are worse this year, it is not your imagination. Over time mosquito season from the Ohio Valley up to Michigan has increased quite a bit. Mosquitoes are thriving in our area for up to 21 days longer this year. We are seeing more mosquitos and for longer periods. SSP Innovations created maps showing areas of high humidity, wetlands, average rain, and heat at night. When those maps are layered together, they perfectly reflect the areas of bad mosquito areas. The same website created the map below to show how bad the mosquitos are in the U.S.
