How the State Tamed Lapeer's Wildest Gun Range

3 days ago | enjoyer.com | Brendan Clarey

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.

“The reward you get for cozying up to Trump is him threatening to pardon the terrorists who plotted to kidnap and murder you,” wrote Attorney General Dana Nessel on X. So marked the era of the girlboss era in Michigan. With a bang, a shot fired by a woman who rode to office on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coattails. It was all good three years ago.

Petoskey — Kids are in trouble. They are wasting their days inside on iPads, frying their attention spans and crushing their imaginations. Screens make good children into worse children. On a robust diet of iPad consumed in a climate-controlled living room, children grow up dull, weak in spirit and body, unsettled, distracted, and poorly behaved. The more TV, iPad, and YouTube kids consume, the worse their manners become. They take cues from the stupidity on the screen. They become what they watch.
You Can Make LaCroix Out of Lake Water

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. The meteoric proliferation of sparkling water brands prove I am not alone. There are at least a couple dozen of us buying cart-fulls of flavored or plain Bubly, LaCroix, and Polar Seltzer.

By declaring an energy emergency, and warning of shortfalls to come this summer, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright ordered the J.H. Campbell coal plant in West Olive to stay open. The plant cannot dip below its 2024 energy levels. Left to its devices, Consumers Energy had planned to close it this week, some 15 years ahead of schedule.
Editor's Note: What Michigan Place Do You Miss Most?

1 week ago | enjoyer.com | Mark Naida

Last week, the owner of Sister Pie, the iconic Detroit bakery, announced it would be taking a hiatus due to a financial crisis after a decade of serving treats. A sad story, and one that we’re all too familiar with: Restaurants, bars, and cafes are a tough business, after all—so many places didn’t come back after Covid. Five years on, it’s hard to even remember some of our beloved haunts.
We Have the Politicians and Criminals Running Scared

We are at the halfway point of the year. As a matter of housekeeping, dear reader, here are updates on some exclusive stories that have appeared in this space in 2025. While former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo finds himself in the crosshairs of a criminal investigation for lying to Congress over his nursing home response, Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s dingbat-in-chief who copied Cuomo’s nursing home co-mingling of the healthy and infected, appears to be skating off scot-free. But not so fast.
The Three Most Famous Rocks in Michigan

In September 2015, a man named Tim O’Brien waded out into shallow water near Northport in the Leelenau Peninsula and proceeded to dig a 93-pound Petoskey Stone with a trowel. It wasn’t polished up and easily identifiable as a Petoskey stone, but looking closely, the pattern of fossilized Hexagonaria coral was clear. He set it in front of his home in the tiny village of Copemish and posted a photo of it on Facebook, where it went viral.
The Age-Old Tradition of Getting Skunked

1 week ago | enjoyer.com | Mark Naida

Big Rapids — Getting skunked on your first hunt is a time-honored tradition. Teenage boys with shiny new rifles will sit up freezing in stands outside all November and come home with nothing year after year on their journeys to become men. Here I was, twice that age, undergoing that right of passage while stalking turkeys. I came home with neither a cooler full of turkey breast nor a fan to hang on my wall.
How Roger Built His Gas Hole

2 weeks ago | enjoyer.com | Brendan Clarey

It’s no secret that Michigan men love their muscle cars. It’s why the legendary Dream Cruise on Woodward swamps traffic for an entire weekend every summer. The folks who keep muscle cars running today are true mechanical artisans. I recently took a drive in a 1970s Camaro vehicle, pieced together by a family friend named Roger. He told me about how the frame was retrofitted from one car, the engine from another and the coveted Camaro body from yet another.
