Holcombe Beach in Sterling Heights

A beach in landlocked Sterling Heights, you say? This we had to see on Dodge Park Rd at Metro Parkway where Heritage Junior High is currently sitting. Turns out, it's a beach that used to be --in 9000 BC.  The University of Michigan spent five years conducting an archaelogical  dig near here some 50 years ago of an ancient Paleo Indian settlement.  Around 7,000 artifacts consisting mostly of arrowheads and flint chips were unearthed along with the caribou that they hunted.  Scientists in the know claim this site rivals the major finds in Mexico, Canada and New Mexico.

U of M's Big House

Michigan Stadium was originally constructed in Ann Arbor in 1927 with a capacity of 72,000. Over the years, expansion and improvements were made and the "Big House" expanded to hold over 110,000. The current improvement project is scheduled to be completed by August 2010. Web cam view of construction is available at www.mgoblue.com/football/ along with schedules, stats, etc.. Today, the Wolverines will try to maintain their undefeated record when playing against Notre Dame at Michigan Stadium at 3:30 PM. Tailgate anyone?
