Lansing’s Original Name Will Blow Your Mind

2 days ago | 99wfmk.com | Scott Clow

Here's a fun little Michigan fact that may sound entirely made up, but it's 100% true: there was once a town in the state of Michigan called Michigan. Yep. Until 1848, there was a destination known as Michigan, Michigan. Imagine the GPS confusion.

This "Dog" Is Actually Illegal to Own in Michigan

2 days ago | 99wfmk.com | Scott Clow

As an owner of a shelter pitbull mix, I can tell you that I was shocked to learn that a breed of dog had been banned in Michigan. I'm a firm believer that there are no bad dogs, just dogs that were raised and mistreated. That said, when I realized the breed that was banned, I became slightly less defensive and more astounded that people would want one in their house.

Rock Bands and Events Made Detroit's Olympia Stadium Legendary

2 days ago | 99wfmk.com | John Robinson

Detroit’s legendary Olympia Stadium is no more.....it’s been gone since 1987. For close to 60 years, the Olympia was a major venue for sports events and rock concerts. According to Historic Detroit, it all began on May 15, 1926 when Charlie Hughes rounded up some Detroit businessmen and bought the Victoria Cougars hockey team. The team was renamed the Detroit Cougars. But the problem was – there was no place for them to play.

Celebrate Michiganders! Free Fishing / Three Free Weekend is upon us, which means this Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, 2025, no fishing licenses, no Recreation Passport required for state parks or boat launches, just two days of guilt-free outdoor time. Two preteeen boys stand in shallow water with a net and bottles. Growing up in Gen X Michigan, we lived by two words: "Go outside." It wasn't a suggestion—it was a command.
Sorry, World Atlas—That's Not a Small Town—That’s a Full-Fledged City

3 days ago | 99wfmk.com | Scott Clow

I love a good story, but if you're anything like me, that headline has you scratching your head. How can a relatively large city, say with over 15,000 residents, be deemed Michigan's best small town? Well, World Atlas has spoken, and that's exactly what they did. The exterior sign of one of Traverse City's many foodie destinations. For clarity, I attempted to find a guideline on the number of residents a town should have to be considered small.
Michigan: Parked, Drunk, & Still Getting an OWI? Yep.

3 days ago | 99wfmk.com | Scott Clow

Here's a little something to pique your anxiety: you're too drunk to drive, so you do what you feel is the responsible thing—you head to your car, turn on the AC or heat, lean back the seat, and try to sleep it off. And boom: You wake up to OWI charges. In a parked car. What?

Michigan Lifeguards: Where Did They All Go? 1940s-1960s

4 days ago | 99wfmk.com | John Robinson

Where did all the lifeguards go? I remember going to the beach when I was a kid – Portage Lake, to be exact – and there was usually a lifeguard on duty...you know, someone to save you from drowning. The lifeguard would sit atop a tall lookout tower that reached an average of 14 feet. Up there, he could get a better scope of what was going on in the water.
The Michigan 'Wild West' Town That Failed

4 days ago | 99wfmk.com | John Robinson

There have been a few ‘wild west’ town replicas here in Michigan that have been successful for tourists and vacationers...such as Huckleberry Railroad, Stagecoach Stop, Frontier City, and Coopersville. But one western town had high hopes but just failed to click. The village of Jones was settled in Cass County in the early 1830s, platted in 1897, and originally called ‘Newberg’. Ed Lowe was born in 1920 and spent his high school years in nearby Cassopolis.
Michigan's Monster Fish: DNR Reminds You to Look—But Don't Touch

4 days ago | 99wfmk.com | Scott Clow

The older I get, the more I respect what could be lurking below the surface of Michigan's lakes. A lot has changed. Growing up on a lake at a very early age, I used to make a beeline for any body of water with zero regard for what I could potentially land on. However, if you are taking the plunge into a Great Lake in the Mitten State, you may want to be on the lookout for a prehistoric beast that tips the scales at over 200 lbs.
