5 Michigan Hospitals Ranked Among Americas Best For Neurology
I've always driven past hospitals and made the awful joke that it makes no sense that we go to the nicest buildings as were dying or simply to die.

A little cooler but staying dry
Some clouds associated with a cold front will move from north to south through the area this morning, but we'll stay dry. Immediately in the wake of the FROPA (frontal passage), winds will shift to the north-northwest and could gust up to 25 mph. This afternoon, cooler air aloft will arrive while the ground warms up from the sun, which will result in an increasing vertical temperature gradient causing some afternoon fair weather clouds to form.
