USPS Asking Michigan Residents To Buy Bigger Mailboxes
Last week, USPS asked Michigan residents to check their mailboxes to ensure they were safe and clean for mail carriers to visit and deliver mail. This was a part of Mailbox Improvement Week, which takes place nationwide during the 3rd week of May every year. I had no clue that there was even a Mailbox Improvement Week, but now that we do I hope you read up on it and cleaned your mailbox for our wonderful mail carriers.
Help Police Find Michigan Nude Bicyclist
Local law enforcement is still looking for the nude bicyclist and they can't bare it. However, a witness was able to get a photo of the streaker on two wheels. There's not much meat to this story, but here's what we do know. It was before 7 AM on a Wednesday morning that a man was seen riding his bicycle on Jefferson Avenue in St. Clair Shores according to the Macomb Daily. It's important to note that we don't know this guy's story. Maybe his boss said, "I better see your @ss at work by 7 AM." See, he could simply be a guy who follows instructions to a tee. There are no reports that the overconfident cyclist did anything wrong other than his lack of clothing. However, no bones about it, the people who saw the man weren't happy.

Several Michigan School Districts To Add Electric Buses
There's nothing like getting up in the morning and slowly walking to the bus stop while wiping sleep from your eyes or rushing out of school to get your favorite seat on the bus and talk about the day with your friends. The school bus is a time for friends to be made, stories to be told, and laughs to be had but they are also some of the most expensive running parts of a school system.
UPDATE: We Owe An Apology to Michigan Man Caught Driving on Suspended License

Michigan Shoppers Can Expect to Pay More For This Product Amid Shortage
These days it seems if it's not one thing, it's another! If it's not a longtime major retailer abruptly closing like Rue21 or Rite-Aid, then it's some sort of food recall, contagious virus or invasive species alert. Whatever happened to: "No news is good news"?. Not only has the cost...

Dogs attacking mail carriers has been a go-to trope when someone wants to have a laugh at the expense of the U.S. Postal Service. There are even dog biscuits and toys made to look like mail carriers. While the situation seems comical to those of us who don't haul heavy...

Thousands Of Nissan Vehicles Recalled In Michigan
We are back at it again, another recall has been announced and I can't tell if it's a good or a bad thing. Think about it for a second, recalls are good because they keep us safe from potential dangers but why are there so many potential dangers? Every week a new recall is coming out whether it's a vehicle, toy, or food product. Are these companies not doing enough to ensure a safe production process and ingredients? Are they cutting corners to save money and therefore putting us in danger?

These Two Michigan Cities Are the Most Hated in America
It's quite oxymoronic to me that Michigan is such an incredible state, but yet it has such a tarnished reputation in certain areas. As someone who comes from a state that everyone loves to pick on, Alabama, it's tough for me to draw any comparison between the two. Yet, It's Michigan that finds itself with not just the most hated city in America, but the top two most hated cities in America.
