What Michigan Does Better Than Anyone (or Anyplace) Else

I, for one, love the state of Michigan. And I get sick & tired of hearing other state residents whine by saying they hate it here and wanna move. Well, then, MOVE and get it over with. However, the rest of us who dig the state have our own reasons:

We may not live near the ocean, or the Rocky Mountains, or anywhere exotic, but there are things we have and things we do that are better than anyone or any place else...for instance:

BEAUTIFUL FALL COLORS
BOATING 
CEREAL 
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
EDUCATION
ENDLESS SUMMER FESTIVALS
FARMING
GORGEOUS SHORELINES
GREAT LAKES
LIGHTHOUSES
MAGIC (Colon & Marshall)
SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS
TOP TEN UNIVERSITIES
UPPER PENINSULA NORTHWOODS

“REALLY?” you ask. Yup, really.

And one of the most important:..
WE KNOW HOW TO ROCK.
Michigan rocks better than ANY state in the union...we gave the rest of the world
