Beach Drive, Lake Michigan, Harbor Springs, MI. 2016
Beach Drive, Lake Michigan Summer Houses, Harbor Springs, MI., Driving East to West from Pennsylvania Ave. toZoll Street. Nestled along the deepest harbor in the Great Lakes, lies the charming waterfront community of Harbor Springs. Discover the iconic and scenic Tunnel of Trees, stroll through beautiful downtown shops and explore lighthouses along crystal clear waters. Enjoy four seasons of events and activities for all ages in the Little Traverse Bay area of Northern Michigan.
Harbor Springs is a city and resort community in Emmet County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,194 at the 2010 census.
Harbor Springs is in a sheltered bay on the north shore of the Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. The Little Traverse Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse on the Harbor Point peninsula, which shelters the deepest natural harbor on the Great Lakes. M-119 connects with US 31 7 miles (11 km) east and south at Bay View, and Petoskey, which is 4 miles (6.4 km) away on the south side of the harbor.
The area is known for its historic summer resorts, such as Wequetonsing, which was founded by Illinois businessmen and lawyers Henry Stryker, III, and Henry Brigham McClure. They were both connected with the Jacob Bunn industrial dynasty of Illinois.
The European-American settlement started with a mission by French Catholic Jesuits; they called this area L'Arbre Croche, meaning Crooked Tree. In 1847, L'Arbre Croche had the largest concentration of Native Americans in Michigan.[6] French traders renamed the area Petit Traverse, or Little Traverse, when they arrived in the area. After more settlers came to the area from the eastern United States, they changed the name of the village to Harbor Springs, incorporating it in 1880.
The federally recognized Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians are descendants of the numerous Odawa bands that historically occupied this area. They have their tribal offices in Harbor Springs, and a gaming resort in Petoskey. Their reservation lands encompasses approximately 336 square miles (870 km2) of land in Charlevoix and Emmet counties.
One of the city's more prominent European-American residents was Ephraim Shay (1839–1916), known for his invention of the Shay locomotive. The hexagonal-shaped house he built in downtown Harbor Springs still stands today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The local elementary school is named after him.
Another building of interest is the Douglas House on the shore of Lake Michigan. Designed by noted architect Richard Meier and completed in 1973, this house is one of 150 structures listed in 2007 as America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.
Harbor Springs was the location of the Club Ponytail, a famous music hall destroyed by fire in 1969
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.30 square miles (3.37 km2), all of it land. Harbor Springs has a lot to offer during the summer months, including beaches, sailing schools, marinas, multiple golf courses, bike paths, hiking trails, ice cream shops, candy stores, coffee shops and various summer vacation communities. In the winter months the two ski resorts Nub's Nob and Boyne Highlands offer over 678 acres of skiable terrain as well as terrain parks and various trails for snow shoeing & cross-country skiing. When Little Traverse Bay freezes over in the winter months, many people venture out on the ice for ice fishing and ice boating.
Harbor Springs is a few miles from neighboring Petoskey, Michigan, on the other side of the bay. It offers a wider variety of activities, including a multiplex movie theater, a thriving downtown area of its own, and several big-box stores.

A Truly Remote National Park - MOOSE! - Isle Royale National Park, Michigan
Our family took the ferry from Grand Portage, Michigan 1 1/2 hours to Isle Royale National Park. Visitors can choose between a day trip (which is what we did) or a few nights stay. Backpacking and tent camping are popular in the area, and there are several cabins and lodging available. The island is over 800 square miles, and is located in the northern section of Lake Superior. After an amazing ranger led walk, where we learned the history of the park and all about the animals that live here, we headed down to the campground to spot some animals. A big thank you to Steve V. for sharing his moose footage with us! The kids become new Isle Royale Junior Rangers and make a new friend. HI Makenna! It was a wonderful day exploring one of the least visited national parks in the US.

Michigan Lakeshore, Winter 2014
Video captured along the beautiful Michigan Lakeshore, from Grand Haven to just north of Leland. This winter has definitely been one of the longest and coldest experienced in Michigan in several years, which resulted in a lot of ice coverage on the great Lakes. This was a great opportunity to capture some rare footage.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Manitowoc (#711)
[Latest Airdate: July 5, 2018]
[Original Airdate: March 8, 2018]
Manitowoc is a city on the eastern shore of Wisconsin, north of Sheboygan and south of Green Bay that John McGivern LOVES! No, we mean it.
Visits to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and exploration of the SS Badger were the beginning of his enchantment. Then he was introduced to beach glass, reminisced with an Evergleam Christmas tree collector, and explored Jagemann Stamping and Briess Malt and Ingredients Co. He had a Diet Coke with Kathie at the Stage Door Pub, made a belt at Leatherwerks and checked in to Dead by Dawn --- not sure that he would ever check out! But the cherry on the top was provided by Beerntsen's Confectionary and Cedar Crest Ice Cream! Yum! What's not to love?
Fair warning to those in Manitowoc: Don't be surprised if some day there's a Manitowoc mailbox with John's name on it. By being so inviting, you asked for it, Manitowoc!
