Sun Worshipper in New Buffalo

We do not know who the artist is for this sculpture--yet. It stands at the entrance to the beautiful beach in New Buffalo on Lake Michigan.  He looks like a sun worshipper, doesn't he? He greets the flocks of people coming to view the sunset with open arms. We like him.

Starter's Bar and Grill

Starter's Bar and Grill  had its beginnings in Northwest Detroit and recently expanded operations to Midtown Detroit on Wayne State University's Campus.   This family owned business has been cooking up the best fish for over 30 years.   We loved the generous portion of catfish that was cornmeal breaded with some seasonings we had fun trying to identify. We can't wait to go back and try the BBQ the guests were enjoying at the next table.  

Harsens Island St Clair Flats Historical Society

Poking around Harsens Island, we had to make a stop at the museum they call the St Clair Flats Historical Society. They are doing a great job preserving the very interesting history of the area in the old firehall across from Sans Souci. The Tashomo cruise ship used to make regular stops at Harsens Island with visitors from the Detroit metro area. How cool to see a replica of this boat on display. An informative island native filled us in on every detail of the history of the area including the South Channel rear light. We definitely enjoyed our time here.

Lucy's FLowers in New Buffalo

The colorful adirondacks chairs out front set the tone for Lucy's Flowers in New Buffalo. Their inviting front forced us to stop...and we bought.  They are not just flowers, but furniture and home décor.  We bought a few super lovely Michigan created things.

St. Agatha Gagetown

The beautiful old church of St Agatha in Gagetown was established in 1879, although this building was built much more recently.   It appears the school and convent are closed but the church and cemetery are both very well maintained.   St. Agatha is part of the Saginaw Diocese.

Goetz Lockview Restaurant Sault Ste Marie

Whitefish is the predominant ingredient at the Goetz Lockview Restaurant in Sault Ste Marie and it is super fresh and terrific.  Breakfasts are very large, very filling and it's "the place" in town for your morning repast. It's a wonderful nostalgic throwback in knotty pine. Directly across from the famous locks, it's a delightful meal with a lovely view. Thanks for the photo, Marge.

Beignets Food Truck in Detroit

There's a sight of a certain food truck in Detroit that makes our steps quicken and our hearts go flutter flutter and that is Beignet 2 Go. They flash fry these tender little doughy morsels then sprinkle them with pixie dust or something! Try their New Orleans chicory coffee, too. Midweek you'll find them on Wayne State's campus, but on Saturdays from 7am to 3pm they are at Eastern Market on Russell Street. Just follow that divine smell. Thanks for the photo, Moon Choudhury ;}
