S6,E38: Why Manistee is the perfect Michigan destination (Sept. 21-22, 2024)

  • Summary

  • It might not seem like it with this incredible weather we've been having, but fall is right around the corner. We paid our friends in Manistee a visit, and are here to tell you that this just might be the perfect place to visit for fall colors.....and so much more.We recorded this week's show at the Manistee County History Museum, where we met the director Mark Fedder. This place is an absolute treasure trove of treasures! You can spend hours here just looking because this is the kind of place that just puts it all out there.....and we mean it all. We'll share what the most popular exhibit here it, and you just might not believe it, but HELLO it's true.Our buddy Sammie Lukaskiewicz from Manistee Tourism joined us, and not only told us about some very cool ways to see the blazing fall colors, she also took us out to lunch at The Outsider. Check out their burger, holy moley Batman! We love that they encourage you to take your food out and about around town, and even have a map on the wall showing you where the picnic tables are downtown.Have you heard of the S.S. City of Milwaukee? We had no idea that this historical ship has been rehabbed into a fabulous BOAT-tel that you can stay on during the summer. We learn from the executive director Rob Laurain that come October, the boat transforms into The Ghost Ship, a floating haunted house that is sure to scare your pants off.We also head a few minutes north of downtown Manistee to beautiful Arcadia. Paul Brown, Township Supervisor, comes by to share all the news about this small community's efforts to rehab and transform their gorgeous local beach. Now, you can rent kayaks here, borrow FREE bikes to ride, enjoy some local cuisine, and of course, soak up the beauty that is Lake Michigan.Off the air, we strolled and shopped downtown Manistee, and let's just say this is one healthy downtown. We can't wait to come back.We hope you'll tune in!@sscityofmilwaukee@manisteetourism#visitmmanistee#manistee#puremichigan#behindthemitten
