Clinton Macomb Public Library
The Clinton-Macomb Public Library is a beautiful public facility with something for everyone. Not only does it have a fabulous book collection, a fun and interesting children's department, it has a great local history room, a computer lab with many computers that all seemed to be in working order, and friendly staff and volunteers. There is a used book sale going on until Oct 21st. Tonight kids 6-1 can hang out, eat pizza and watch a PG-13 Zombie movie (in costume if they like). Overall, this library is a great place to hang out.

Stormy Kromer hats: Made in the UP
Hats made by Stormy Kromer have been gracing our state and beyond since 1903. They are a UP legend, begun by George "Stormy" Kromer who used to be a semi-pro baseball player and a railroad engineer. You can get a free factory tour in Ironwood at 1:30pm Monday-Friday. They are hand-stitched and made to fit. They are famous for their wool caps but sell a variety of other merchandise for both men and women including bags, outerwear, shirts, pants and accessories. Thanks for modeling, Monty (he claims plaid is the official color of the UP).

Michigan Military Technical and Historical Society Museum
Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society Museum recently opened in Eastpointe. We visited for the first time for a movie night to see “Prisoners in Paradise” about Italian POW’s in America in WWII, Prior to the movie we had a chance to explore the museum and hear from docents about the restoration of the pieces displayed. We also heard from the Director of the Museum some historical background before the documentary began. We are grateful for the preservation and interest by the Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society (MTHS) in the story of the role played by Michigan's civilian and military personnel in 20th century conflict, showcasing, wherever possible, the products of Michigan’s “Arsenal of Democracy”.

Michigan State's Broad Art Museum
The Broad Art Museum on Michigan State's campus in East Lansing is committed to exploring contemporary culture and ideas through art. It combines many new pieces with those from MSU's previous art museum, often hanging contemporary next to something very classic. The museum's façade was created by award winning architect Zaha Hadid and is constructed on pleated stainless steel and glass. The museum was a gift of Eli and Edythe Broad.
