This review is from: You Know You're in Michigan When...: 101 Quintessential Places, People, Events, Customs, Lingo, and Eats of the Great Lakes State (You Know You're In Series) (Paperback)
If you've always lived in Michigan or are a new resident you'll love this book. Being a native of Michigan I learned some new things about my state, and was amused by the things I was familiar with. If you love Michigan, you'll love this quick read.
5.0 out of 5 stars

The book was fun to read and brings back memories to someone who left the state some 30 years ago.
