Behind the Mitten
Behind the Mitten
27 AUG 2024 · We hope you'll tune in this weekend, as we are coming straight at you from a slow-down-you-might-miss-it spot in Upper Peninsula, charming Germfask.
We've been known to stop any time of day at Tovey's Jolly Inn because you can get a burger for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. We'll talk with Damian Tovey about his historic bar located right on HWY 77, his claim to making the best cheesesteak in the state, and a possible supernatural guest that visits the Jolly on the regular.
Can you believe that you can go wine tasting in the Yoop? True story! We visit with the owners of https://endoftheroadwinerymi.com/Robin and Jim. We love it when people find a whole new calling in life, which is exactly what is going on here. We had the best time at this super cute place, that really is at the very end of the road, so remember to KEEP GOING.
AND......we get to meet this charming fellow at https://www.northlandoutfittersup.com/.....the amazing Bennie the Beardfisher. Commissioned by new owners Levi and Duree, who have their own amazing story to share, Bennie was created by international artist Thomas Dambo, and has turned into quite the destination. Pro tip: you can camp here, stay in one of their cute cottages, kayak down the Manistique River from here, and check out the adorable tchotchkes at the gift shop. It is well worth a visit!
Home to 490 people, named after its four original founders, don't miss out. It's Germfask baby, and it's fantastic.
23 AUG 2024 · When you turn 125 years old you best do something special. Our friends at https://news.nmu.edu/nmu-and-blackrocks-brewery-launch-wildcat-gold decided to do just that to celebrate this incredible anniversary of Wildcat pride, collaborating with Blackrock Brewery to create a special commemorative beer, Wildcat Gold.
"NMU is thrilled to team up with Marquette's own https://www.blackrocksbrewery.com/ to launch Wildcat Gold—a special brew crafted by alumni, for alumni! This exclusive beer is a golden celebration of our rich history, dedicated to the Wildcat spirit that unites us all," says a post on NMU's social media.
We recently had Andy Langlois, David Manson, and Steve Farr from Blackrocks on to talk about this special release. It's a beer that is near and dear to Andy and Steve's hearts, as they are both alumni of NMU. Poor Dave, he can only shout from the sidelines "Go Green, Go White". Dave, no worries, you might not be golden, but you're still a cool Sparty.
Let’s raise a glass together to toast to 125 incredible years of Northern pride. Wildcat Gold will be released August 23, and can only be found at this time at Blackrocks in Marquette, and certain sporting events at Northern. Wildcat Gold may also show up at exclusive alumni events over the next few months, so if you are a Wildcat, make plans to attend.
Shown are NMU Alumni Steve Farr ’09 BS, ’12 MBA, and Andy Langlois ’95 BS from Blackrocks Brewery, thanks for putting this great collab together with NMU.

22 AUG 2024 · We are back to school this week! Our young Michiganders are headed back to the classroom this week, and back to college campuses, which is both exciting and sad.Â
It's exciting if you are a student and finally back home at school with friends, exciting if you are a business that is ready to serve, and exciting if you are a tourism bureau welcoming visitors.
But it's sad if you are a momma sending two kids back to campus, which Amy is doing this year, and probably for the last time. Gonzo has already traversed this road with his boys, so he gets it too. So very exciting, so very sad.Â
College towns came back alive this week as students streamed in, so we went right to some of our most popular spots here in the mitten: Mt. Pleasant, Kalamazoo, East Lansing and Ann Arbor. We kick off the show and get FIRED UP in https://meetmtp.com/, where Gonzo attended https://www.cmich.edu/. If you are a fellow Chip, then you know The Bird, one of the most popular places in town. We talk to Ben Breidenstien, who co-owns the bar with his family. Stop by here to sidle up at the bar next to a professor, while a family enjoys a pizza nearby. Ben and Gonzo agree, it is THE spot to be in Mt. Pleasant.
Next, we head to Kalamazoo, home to both https://wmich.edu/brewing and Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Together, these schools offer a degree program that we can really support. Did you know you can actually get a degree in beer here in the mitten? True story, if you go through the dual program that they offer at WMU and KVCC. We talk with our good friend Aaron Ross, formerly of Mitten Brewing Company, current instructor at KVCC in the brewing program. He explains how this two and two program works, what students learn, and how everyone can come tohttps://www.facebook.com/sustainablebrewingKalamazooValley/
At this point, we got hungry, so we called our buddy Keith Mckendry in Ann Arbor up. He makes what just might be the very best cheesesteaks in the state at his uber popular spot, https://www.facebook.com/MrSpotsAnnArbor. Yes, he gives us the low down on those beauties which a certain famous former pro football player, and U of M alum, loves. He also gives us his thoughts on the Wolverines chances this season. Our thoughts? Doesn't matter the win/loss record when you are eating one of these cheesesteaks.
One last stop in East Lansing, where we catch up with fellow journalist https://www.freep.com/staff/2648040001/chris-solari/. His Detroit Free Press beat is the Michigan State Spartans football team, so we talk x's and o's. Chris got so excited that we were going to ask him about something other than football that we just went with it, and he shares many of his favorite places to hang out at in East Lansing, including The Peanut Barrel, which we just love.

15 AUG 2024 · This week takes us to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, as we do a little road trip tohttps://saugatuck.com/ and https://www.southhaven.org/ We'll take you out on the water, do some shopping, talk to three blondes who brew, and meet up with some fine friends who are cooking up greatness at their very own restaurant finally. We'll even tell you about the most fantastic saltine crackers we've ever had. Intrigued? Here's more:
We'll start off at a cute little spot nestled downtown Saugatuck on the shores of the Kalamazoo River. https://retroboatrentals.com/ offers up the sweetest little boats that you can take out, on your own, to cruise around and see Saugatuck from the water. Brightly colored 50's-style little cruisers will make you feel like a vintage movie star, while the donut boats can be packed with friends to bob along with. There are pontoons too, and all the boats have been retrofitted and are electric, so you'll hum along in silence, able to absorb all the sites and sounds of Saugatuck. Grab a beer or a cocktail afterward on their sunny deck to prolong your enjoyment.Â
Next, our friends from https://www.lulucadieux.com/come by and share that they are expanding into a new space in downtown Saugatuck. While their cooking school remains on Blue Star Highway, they'll be moving their store downtown. This is the place to find all sorts of fun things for your home, from table linens to dishes and cookware, to a stacked array of cookbooks. Amy is a big fan of snooping around here and seeing what she might find, from cool clothes to great gifts.Â
Just a few minutes farther down the shore lies South Haven, another beachside gem. During the busy summer time it can be hard to find parking downtown, so we head outside of this bustling area and go straight to https://www.threeblondesbrewing.com/. Located very close to the highway exit, this fun spot is easy to get, and always has a cold beer waiting for you. We talk with Amanda Johnson, one of the three blondes brewing.
Finally, we reconnect with some friends who have been making their dreams come true and we couldn't be prouder. Meredith Sherrod owns The Lodge, an absolute banger of a restaurant, bar, and hang-out located just a bit outside of downtown SH. She and her business partner Erica Degrandchamp worked together for years at Captain Lou's, and finally made their dream of owning their very own restaurant a reality when they purchased local spot The Curve. A few years later, this remodeled space features an incredible menu, from their scratch kitchen, all run by these two best friends.Â
Now about those crackers.....find them at The Lodge. Have them with pimento cheese dip. Thank us later.

This trip was no different.
Absolute highlight? Meeting the one and only Paul Sabourin, the curator at the Tower of History, part of the https://www.saulthistoricsites.com/tower-of-history/ group of museums. Not only do you get a banger of a view from the tallest spot in the Soo, but you might also get to meet this guy, who will regale you with historical facts and stories, might throw down in three languages, and will definitely instill a love for all the history in this area, just by his infectious nature.

6 AUG 2024 · This weekend takes us ABOVE the mitten, as we travel across the Mighty Mac and head to one of our favorite places in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, https://saultstemarie.com/.
"Where Michigan history was born" is an apt tagline for this city that resides along the St. Mary's River, as it was founded way back in 1668 by one of Michigan's favorite explorers, Fr. Jacques Marquette. Today, the "Soo" is best known for their famous locks, which transport some of the biggest freighters in all the land between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
Our good friend Linda Hoath from the Sault Ste Marie Visitor's Bureau kicks off the show, and as one of our regular guests, you know we'll have a great time. Linda shares a little about what makes this community so special, she is a life-long resident, and a true advocate for all that this area has to offer. Linda also gives us an update on the incredibly large construction project that is underway, as they transform two of the older, smaller locks into one gigantic one that can handle larger boats. It's quite an engineering marvel.
To get a great view of this project, we recommend a trip to the top, 210 feet up in the air, at the https://saultstemarie.com/attractions/tower-of-history/ We stopped by for the very first time and while we were very impressed by that panoramic view, we were even more impressed with the curator, Paul Sabourin. Sometimes you get very lucky and walk into an interview and strike absolute gold, which is exactly what happened when we met Paul. A passionate storyteller, this man regaled us with stories in three languages: English, French and Ojibway. Now that I'm thinking about it, he might have also told a joke in German at one point. Head to the Tower to learn more about the Native Americans in this area and the settlers that came later, meet Mr. Paul himself and check out that absolutely incredible view.
In order to see the locks in action, you just have to do a boat tour, and our friends at the https://www.originalsoolocktours.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwk8e1BhALEiwAc8MHiMGslAkp8nRRjflnD-8J5lNT1ZWLahSRG05pO01DBPYI4rNfULRL4hoC8FsQAvD_BwE are some of the best. Celebrating 90 years of being on the water, the Original Tours are open every day of the summer. Shiela Marchand joins us, she is currently the business manager for the company, but she started off at the ticket counter when she was in college. Best part of her job is giving tours, she loves that they do live narration on each and every tour, so you can ask all the important questions you have about the locks. The Original Soo tour is a must do when in da Soo.
Finally, we catch up with our good friends Ken and Wilda Hopper, who own the uber-popular https://www.birdseyeoutfitters.com/
If an adventure is what you are looking for in the Soo, Bird's Eye is where you want to go. They can help you plan a mountain bike trip, a fantastic hike, a paddling adventure, or even a trip in a kayak right through the locks. These guys, and girls, are absolute experts, so they'll make sure you have not just the right gear and equipment, but also that you'll have a great time. This is also THE spot for coffee and a bit of nosh in the morning, or for a beer and a sandwich at lunch. Always bustling, Bird's Eye is one of our favorite spots to stop in the Soo.

25 JUL 2024 · This weekend's show is all about art....really, REALLY big art that you can find around Michigan.
We are talking all about murals, these giant art installations that are popping up everywhere, and making our cities and towns that much more beautiful.
We were inspired to explore this topic by the recent creation of the absolutely AWESOME https://www.facebook.com/shinebrightsaginaw/. It's the second-largest mural in the United States, and we are lucky to have it right here in https://www.michigan.org/. It's incredible, and we have project director Mark Flegenheimer on to tell us how Saginaw rallied around this project to make it happen.....with all private funding.
We'll also visit with https://www.experiencejackson.com/ about https://www.brightwallsjackson.com/, their multi-year initiative that has transformed downtown into a walkable gallery, and our friends at https://visitdetroit.com/ about the beautiful murals you can see throughout our state's largest city.
And don't miss our first guest, we landed nationally recognized mural artist, and Midland Michigan native, https://www.joeysalamon.art/ to explain the process behind developing one of these works of art, and what goes into actually painting them. It's fascinating.

18 JUL 2024 · "The Barbie Project" was an idea conjured out of a tough time by our friend and radio legend https://www.facebook.com/MEMRadiowho hosts https://wghn.com/ each day. She recently announced her new campaign to bring a Coast Guard Barbie to life, and we just had to have her on to tell us all about it.
Mary Ellen was undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and this kind of stunk for all the usual reasons. During breaks between her treatments in Grand Rapids, she would head to Goodwill for a little thrifting therapy. One day, she found a pretty nice Barbie Beach Dream House and decided to get it and fix it up for her granddaughters. The Barbie Project was born.
This year, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the National Coast Guard Festival and the fact that Grand Haven is "Coast Guard City USA", Mary Ellen has started a campaign for a Coast Guard Barbie. Barbie currently serves in every arm of the military EXCEPT the Coast Guard, which seems like a major oversight. While women make a smaller minority serving in the Coast Guard, making up about 15 percent of service members, you best believe they are an integral part of the service. In fact, the top person at the Coast Guard is a woman. Admiral Linda L. Fagan assumed duties as the 27th Commandant of the United States Coast Guard in 2022, and now oversees all global Coast Guard operations and 42,000 active-duty, 7,000 reserve, and 8,700 civilian personnel, as well as 21,000 GC Auxillary volunteers.
https://wghn.com/voteyes/
Attempts have been made to contact Barbie toy maker Mattel to no avail, but don't worry, Mary Ellen is not giving up. She's gearing up for a big push for votes over the next few weeks since the National Coast Guard Festival runs from July 26 to August 4. It's a fantastic event, and this year it'll be bigger and better than ever. If you go, be sure to look for Mary Ellen and the beach house out on the actual beach. She brings it down and sets it up for everyone to enjoy while taking in all the sun and fun this great Michigan beach town has to offer.
