Lapeer — Everything the government touches gets ruined. That’s the prevailing sentiment from those who once frequented the pyromaniac’s dream gun range called The Lapeer Pit. Here, automatic gunfire and bowling-ball cannons once rained down destruction on junk-metal targets. But for nearby neighbors of the once-unruly gun range, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources takeover of the pit in 2020 has made their lives better.

Gregory — I’ll admit it: I am addicted to sparking water. Thankfully, water is everywhere in Michigan, waiting for the fizz. I am not alone in obsession, but I may have taken it too far.

Auburn Hills — It’s nearly midnight, and I can’t sleep. I can still feel the acceleration of the haggard Honda Nightwing I was riding earlier, the way you can feel rollercoasters or wave pools hours after the fun stops.

You need to take a written and road test to get your motorcycle’s license in Michigan.

Detroit — Democrats, environmental justice activists, and idealists admit they want to burn down Michigan’s economy and rebuild it in their image. How do I know this? I went to the heart of the Green Revolution last week at the MI Healthy Climate Conference in downtown Detroit. Good news! We can fix the most pressing issues facing Michiganders through sweeping government mandates enacted with a socialist flair.
