    The Economist: States as the Nation with the Most Similar GDP I guess it makes sense that Michigan is the Taiwan of America?

    roseamortentia asked: hello! I see you're from Michigan :) what part of the state are you from?

    Well, if you ask Diane Sawyer, she’d draw a happy face on it and call it the second-happiest place in America.

    Lip Dub of the Day: Newsweek published an article a while back which stated that Grand Rapids, Michigan, is high up on the list of America’s “Dying Cities.”

    So Grand Rapids responded by getting 5,000 residents together to perform an elaborate lip dub of Don McLean’s “American Pie.” Obviously.

    Newsweek subsequently offered Grand Rapids a contrite rejoinder, saying the article was picked up as part of a content sharing deal…  “It certainly doesn’t reflect our view of Grand Rapids.”

    (thedailywhat via gawker)

    This is the most epic lip dub I’ve ever seen. Firetrucks, marching bands — the camera takes off in a helicopter at one point! Good job, Grand Rapids.

    And by the way, every time I go back to GR - the city I was born in - there is a new skyscraper that wasn’t there last year. If Grand Rapids is dying, I don’t want to be living.

    Paul Simon - “Love is Eternal Sacred Light”

    This new Paul Simon album… it’s actually pretty good.

    At the end of the dial there’s the gospel show
    Maybe now I can exit and rest
    There’s a blizzard rolling down off the banks of Lake Michigan
    Gonna cover the roads of the icy Midwest

    Holland is not like towns of similar size. This place is rich. For over a century it has been a summer playground for the rich of Chicago, who came across by private yacht. It is in the middle of some of the most successful industries in America, including Herman Miller and Amway. It is a big tourist center. You probably can’t walk down that main street in the summertime for all the crowds, and a heated sidewalk isn’t doing a whole lot then.
    Treehugger.com - hating on our downtown heated sidewalks because they use excess heat from a coal power plant. But all I heard was “playground.” Yup.

    If a fruitcake contains alcohol, it could remain edible for many years. For example, a fruitcake baked in 1878 is kept as an heirloom by a family in Tecumseh, Michigan.

    In 2003, it was eaten by Jay Leno.
