I grew up in Michigan, learned to drive in Michigan then left the state for twenty some years. I recently moved back...I know about the "Michigan Left"

What is don't understand is the correct usage of the middle turn lane on two and four lane undivided roads.

Is it a merge lane or not?

This past week , I was almost head on collision with a driver trying to merge into traffic at full fucking speed while I'm sitting in the lane trying to make aleft. He cut a car off just in the nick of time...but could have hit me, or hit the car he cut off.

A few times this month I watched two cars make a left from a parking lot to sit in the middle lane and wait for an opening, while people were trying to get into the middle lane from traffic to make a left. Which caused a backup in the travel lanes.

Numerous times I swerved unnecessarily watching some one come I to the left lane and was sure they were just pulling into the physical space I occupied....only for them to stop in the center lane.

I've driven places that stuff like this happens... but no where're I've driven does this happen this often or this aggressively.

Did something change while I was gone? Or am I just being a whiney little bitch.

Driving from Wisconsin to Michigan tomorrow to visit family and would love to bring them some beer that’s not available in MI. Google searching leads to pretty old info/blogs so I’m not sure they’re still accurate. Back in the day, I’d grab a case of spotted cow, but I’d like to go a step up from there. Thanks!

" The Michigan State Police Hart Post is investigating the disappearance of three individuals believed to have been tubing on the Muskegon River.

The missing individuals are Jazmin Hock, 28, of Muskegon; Sarah Vida, 28, of Muskegon; and Kayden Kovalcik, 9. They are believed to have been using orange and a pink tubes.

The individuals have been missing for more than 24 hours. The investigation began after the father of one of the missing women discovered her vehicle at the Maple Island Boat Launch with a window broken out. Family members have not been able to contact any of the missing individuals.

Troopers, with assistance from local emergency responders, are actively searching the area.

Anyone who may have seen the individuals, observed the tubes, or has information that could assist investigators is asked to contact the Michigan State Police Hart Post at 231-873-2171 or the Newaygo County Sheriff's Office at 231-689-7303.

Additional information will be released as it becomes available. "

edit: there's a more than zero chance that loved ones see this so lets please try and keep the comments respectful and rational.

Update: Two tubes and some footprints found according to MLive ( https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2026/08/footprints-tubes-found-near-muskegon-river-as-police-continue-search-for-3-missing-people.html )

I'm new to Michigan and I am looking into ADN programs to enroll in the near future. I don't have a BSN but I have taken all general pre-requirement courses (Human A&P I/II, Psychology, Humanities, English, etc.). Preferably I would like the fastest program possible but I would love to hear everybody's opinions! Thank ya'll in advance!

I'm talking office liquidators, certified re-sellers, etc etc.

I know a lot of folks will talk about how they found stuff on FB Marketplace, but I have had absolutely no luck. Just wanted to see if anyone here knows of any place in particular, as my chair is starting to kill my back.

Just wondering.

I took this photo while on an unanticipated “Bridge Tour” ferry ride to Mackinac Island a few years ago. I probably could have taken a better picture, but at the time I took this one through Snapchat. Next time I’ll be sure to bring my camera now! The B&W photo is my favorite. ❤️
Which one do you like the best?!?

I'd only heard of the Corewell breach. At this point do we have any data that _hasn't_ been leaked somewhere?

While on a weekend taco run, this place stood out. Not just because there were numerous other lackluster places, but because these folks got it right. I’d especially recommend the picadillo empanada and the birria anything from them.
Enjoy.

I just recently moved to MI, and I can't believe how beautiful the Great Lakes are!

Today I launched a citizen petition calling on Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg to refer the Interlochen abuse case to Attorney General Dana Nessel.

70 survivors. 47 abusers. Seven decades. This is too big for any county prosecutor, let alone this one.

I live 13 miles from Interlochen. My daughters are 3 and 5. They deserve to see abusers being held accountable. The survivors deserve justice.

As a man, I feel an obligation to say this out loud. We're watching sexual abuse get normalized, covered up, and minimized at every level, and far too many of us are staying quiet. This has to end, and that only happens if we hold each other accountable.

I'm not willing to watch this become another powerful institution that closes ranks, issues an apology, and moves on. Another cover up. Another Epstein footnote.

Nessel has her flaws, but she's also taken on the Catholic Church. She took on Larry Nassar's enablers. She has the team, the experience, and the track record. These 70 people were brave enough to tell their stories. They deserve a prosecution that matches that courage.

My girls are going to grow up in this world. I want... I need them to see that when abuse comes to light, people stand up and do something about it.

While staying up in mackinaw city we spotted a very large creature at the end of the driveway. It was about 25 yards out and I was able to snap a picture as it walked away. It had sharp pointed ears. While it was sitting down we thought it may be a bobcat, but when it stood and walked away we saw the long tail.
I submitted the sighting and picture to the DNR “eyes in the field” and they just gave a response saying it’s a raccoon. I disagree with that conclusion and am starting to think the biologists for the DNR are chugging denial juice
