Detroit Red Wings Fans, You Can Now Own Al The Octopus

There Is a Single Michigan County With Almost No Risk for a Tornado
Michigan has a significant history of tornados. While not quite like the states of Tornado Alley, there are been some doozies over the years like the 1953 twister in the Flint area that's considered one of the 10 deadliest in the nation's history to the recent Portage tornado in Southwest Michigan from 2024.
A Bull Once Escaped a Michigan Arena During a Rodeo and Ran Roughshod Around Town

That's what happened one day in Kalamazoo.

Company Files For Bankruptcy and Closes All Michigan Locations
A company stopped paying employees and let their health insurance lapse as everything fell apart. Progress has always come with a cost. We couldn't live without the internet now.
