I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.

Over The Edge — AGAIN!

It was June 5th of 2009 when I went “Over The Edge”. Now I’m doing it again! The annual “Over the Edge” rappelling event is back for another year of raising money for Easterseals Michigan and children with disabilities living in Grand Rapids. This year the event will be held at Bridgewater Place on Friday, September 20 (Media/VIP Day) and Saturday, September 21 (The Main Event). (READ MORE)
