Things aren't looking good for a once-popular restaurant chain in Michigan, which at one point had at least seven locations in the state. For whatever reason, the chain is disappearing fast. Over the past year, this restaurant chain has been shutting down spots all over Michigan.

Summer weather is finally here, and things will really start to warm up over the next couple of weeks. It won't be long before your kids are itching to hit the beach, or better yet, one of Michigan's giant floating water parks. Wait, you didn’t realize Michigan had floating water parks? With more than 11,000 inland lakes in the state, it would be pretty dumb if we didn’t have at least a few. Luckily, we’ve got more than that, and they look like a total blast.
