Visit Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Area | Pure Michigan
Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region, something magical happens. The hands on the clock slow down just long enough for us to stop and capture the beauty of the calm waters on the Bay City Riverfront, or the aroma of 20,000 tulips in bloom all at once in Midland's Dow Gardens. We become kids again at the Saginaw Children's Zoo and Mid-Michigan Children's Museum and discover the joys of a place where family feels like family again. It's time to reconnect in Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region

Michigan
Diplomat at the U.S. Embassy Vienna Mark Bland talks about his home state of Michigan. #50states #MI
Transcript:
Known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan looks like a hand, and is easily identifiable on any map of the United States and also from outer space. It's located in the northern Midwest of the USA and borders the Canadian province of Ontario. Michigan is called the Wolverine State and is divided into two peninsulas with a land area of 150,000 square kilometers. The word Michigan (pronounced Mishigan, not Mitchigan), comes from the Native American word Mishigamaa, which means large lake. Michigan has the longest freshwater coast in the world: more than 5200km of shoreline. With its population of almost 10 million, Michigan is the 8th most populous state in the United States. Almost 40% of the state's population lives near Detroit, the largest city, while only 3% live in the entire Upper Peninsula.
The French discovered Michigan in the 1600s and founded the city of Detroit in 1701. During the 1700s control of Michigan alternated between the French, the British, and the local Native Americans. In 1796 the British finally abandoned Detroit and their forts on the Great Lakes. Michigan became a territory in 1805 and the 26th state in January
1837.
Michigan is known primarily for two things: automobiles and its beautiful nature.
At the beginning of the 1900s Henry Ford revolutionized auto production by developing the moving assembly line. He and his fellow auto manufacturers (Olds, Buick, Dodge, and others) helped transform private life in the United States and created an economic boom in Michigan that attracted immigrants from all over the world. Today, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford still produce almost 25% of all cars made in the United States. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Michigan also builds 50% of all office furniture made in the USA, and is home to Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, and Kellogg's, all of which manufacture products people worldwide use on a daily basis.
As a native Michigander, I am proud of my state's beautiful scenery. Tourism is one of Michigan's largest industries. Tourists in Michigan spend around $17 billion per year visiting the state's amazing nature and its cultural heritage. Among our most spectacular sites are the Sleeping Bear sand dunes along Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island (a uniquely historical island free of automobiles), the Mackinaw Straits bridge (at 8km in length it is the world's third largest suspension bridge), and the Upper Peninsula with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Porcupine Mountains, Tahquamenon Falls, and Isle Royale National Park. Michigan has over 11,000 lakes and is a paradise for fishing, hunting, canoeing, skiing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. We also have several thousand kilometers of pristine beaches with white sand and crystal clear aquamarine water. The climate is ideal for the production of cherries, apples, and Christmas trees—all of which are products that Michigan exports in large quantity across the United States.
Culturally and educationally Michigan also distinguishes itself. Our 15 public universities, 56 private colleges, and 28 public community colleges attract large numbers of foreign students due to their diverse curricula, high academic standards, and pleasant learning environment. Our largest city, Detroit, is home to the Henry Ford Museum, historical Dearborn Village, and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. The Detroit Symphony and Detroit
Opera House enjoy an international reputation. Finally, Michigan has contributed its fair share to the music world, beginning with Motown Records in the 1960s and continuing up through Eminem and Madonna, both of whom are native Michiganders.
So come visit Michigan and enjoy our beautiful nature, friendly people, and many cultural offerings. We'd be happy to host you!

It’s all about water in Michigan…a large and magnificent state that is bordered on multiple sides by three Great Lakes – Michigan, Superior and Huron. Outdoor recreation takes place on snow and ice in the winter, and on the water in the summer. Detroit, aka the “motor city” is famous as the birthplace of the automobile. The MotorCities Automobile Heritage Area contains a number of historical sites and museums dedicating to preserving the region’s importance as the historical center of the automobile industry. The Detroit Institute of Art is home to the Detroit Industry Murals, created by Diego Rivera in 1933. These murals capture the essence of the early automobile industry with remarkable clarity and passion. The Henry Ford is a combination of venues including historic Greenfield Village and Thomas Edison’s original Menlo Park laboratory. On exhibition, one of the phonographs used to make the recording of the human voice. The road to Hell, Michigan is paved with good intentions. The residents of this small town exhibit a great sense of humor about their town’s name and welcome all persons on their journey through Hell. Travelers can visit Scream’s Ice Cream, shop in a year round Halloween store or go to the post office and mail their “taxes from Hell”. For more than 100 years Lionel trains have been delighting kids of all ages. The new visitor’s center displays four different model train layouts with as many as 20 trains running at once. It’s a place where anyone can be a train engineer for a day and learn about the different model trains produced by the company. Cherries are an important crop raised in Northern Michigan and the annual Cherry Festival in Traverse City is a great place to spend the fourth of July. Along the lakeshore, giant sand dunes rise up from the water, creating a stunning location for hiking, water sports and a variety of outdoor recreation vehicles. What does it take to be a Master Bladesmith? Doug Noren would know. Every day he fires up the forge and brings hot metal to the anvil, melting, hammering, grinding and polishing…creating beautiful blades for exhibition and collection around the country. The Upper Peninsula is a wonderland of wilderness and waterfalls. The region’s colorful locations include Tahquamanon Falls, Copper Harbor and the Sault Locks where giant ore boats traverse the impassable St. Mary’s Falls. Mackinac Island is the jewel of the state. Automobiles are not allowed to intrude on the natural beauty of the island so transportation is by horse, bicycle or on foot. One of the best ways to see the historic sites is by horse drawn carriage. Visitors can watch live demonstrations at Fort Mackinac, which was created by British soldiers during the American Revolution, or experience the old world hospitality of the Grand Hotel.
Long GLC train Traverse City michigan
This is with out a doubt a long train for me. This it at the other railroad crossing about half a mile west of the other crossing on south airport road. Counted 12 cars. Again this was from my phone. I was saying i haven't seen this crossing go off in years mostly from the early 1990's

VISIT TO TRAVERSE CITY MICHIGAN 1936 HOME MOVIE P-26 PEASHOOTER 43554
This silent home movie dates from the earliest era of Kodachrome color, 1936. The film shows a trip to Traverse City, Michigan made by an unknown person. The film begins with a shot of a ferry before quickly moving to images of an incredible outdoor model railroad (:30) that boasts an airport and lumber mill among other sights, as well as a guinea pig area (3:00). At 3:58 a visit to a rural house is seen including at 3:58 a shot of the outhouse, at 5:25 a kid with a bike.
At 5:44, the P-26 Peashooters of the 94th Pursuit Squadron are seen at Selfridge Field, where the squadron was based during the inter-war years, training in its pursuit role. Various shots of the base housing are seen.
At 8:33 the sign for the Peace Bridge is shown, and children are shown playing at a home under construction, and at 9:30 a horse drawn cart is shown. At 10:00 Johnson's Delicatessen is seen.
At 11:30 a woman is seen on a swing. At 12:1, a steam locomotive seen with a lot of logs behind it, apparently part of a museum display.
At 12:55 Lake Michigan is seen.
At 14:47, the Chevrolet auto factory is seen, and at 14:50 a skyscraper with an A.Schulte Cigar Store in the bottom is seen.
At 15:00, models of a P-26 and another aircraft are seen, presumably back at Selfridge Field.
The P-26 Peashooter was Boeing's first and last production monoplane fighter. Some 111 P-26A, 2 P-26B and 23 P-26C were built for the USAAC. The type had monoplane wings, the outer panels of which were externally braced with front and rear wires. The centre-section spars were constructed of steel with ribs and skin covering of aluminium alloy. Split-type trailing-edge flaps were later added to P-26A and were manually operated from the open cockpit. The semi-monocoque fuselage was also of aluminium alloy construction. A fixed, heavily trousered landing gear was fitted and power was provided by a 447kW Pratt & Whitney R-1340-27 or -33 radial engine. Armament comprised two forward-firing machine-guns of 7.62mm and/or 12.7mm calibre and two 55kg or five 15kg bombs could be carried.
Although never used in action by the USAAC, ex-Army P-26 acquired by the Philippine Air Force fought the Japanese during World War II and the 11 Model 281 export fighters for China must also have seen action against Japanese forces. In addition Panama and Guatamala received ex-USAAC P-26 and Spain received an export model.

Detroit Michigan
Belle Isle, officially Belle Isle Park, is a 982-acre (1.534 sq mi) island park in the Detroit River, between the United States mainland and Canada. Owned by the City of Detroit, it is managed as a state park by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources through a 30 year lease initiated in 2013.[1] Belle Isle is the largest city-owned island park in the United States and is the third largest island in the Detroit River after Grosse Ile and Fighting Island. It is connected to mainland Detroit by the MacArthur Bridge.
The island is home to the Belle Isle Aquarium, the Belle Isle Conservatory, the Belle Isle Nature Zoo, the Detroit Yacht Club on an adjacent island, the James Scott Memorial Fountain, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, a Coast Guard station, a municipal golf course and numerous monuments. It also previously housed a Nature Center where visitors were able to traverse wooded trails and view wildlife natural habitats, a former Belle Isle Zoo, riding stables and the Detroit Boat Club. The island includes a half-mile (800 m) swimming beach.
Upper Peninsula Children's Museum Documentary
A short documentary about the Marquette's Upper Peninsula Children's Museum. This was my first project in my second level Digital Cinema class. I would like to have had some candid human interaction throughout. Also I would have used some images of the building when they first moved in or right before had I been aware of access to such materials.
**Featuring Jim Edwards**
**Thanks to Jim Edwards and for the museum for being so cooperative**
**Filmed in the town of Marquette, Michigan**
**All other rights to the video are my own, thank you for your cooperation! :D**

History of Michigan Ad
Check out the Online History Department site:
Why Michigan history? Few states have a past that rivals Michigans past. Almost 400 years ago, Europeans began exploring the Great Lakes. (Michigans earliest record European visitor was Etienne Brule, who reached present-day Sault Ste. Marie in 1622.) The interaction of Native Americans and the French, then the British and finally the Americans, has created a rich legacy. Although some Michigan stories are depressing, the positive outweighs the negative. Over the past 150 years, Michiganians have saved the Union, ended slavery, made the Industrial Revolution a reality, put Americans on the road, changed American eating habits and won World War II. And that is only a partial list. In this class, we will come to understand the important role Michiganians played in this countrys development.
