These 10 Places In Michigan Are Constantly Mispronounced
Whether you're a local or not, if you look at a map of Michigan there are plenty of city names that may make you double-take.

Meanwhile, some towns like Gaylord are deceptively difficult (more on Gaylord later).

A Deadly and Preventable Virus is Making a Resurgence in Michigan

Revealing Michigan’s Shocking Overnight Driving Fatality Rate
When I was a younger man, the time of day didn't matter when it came to nearly anything. Grab a bite to eat at 2:30 a.m.; it's not a problem. Get up at 5:00 a.m. for a day of fishing; it sounds great! As I've matured, I realize that eating in the middle of the night also requires antacids, getting up at 5:00 a.m., and leaving for a day out of the house requires several alarms and a plan for the dogs. When I was a young Michigander, I never thought about the time of day I'd be driving or if there was a safer to leave.
