Learn and Know How To Use Your Hand As A Map

If you wanted to live in Michigan, then it’s must that you learn how to tell place by using your own hand. The upper and lower peninsula of Michigan resembles the back of your hand, hence the name “The Mitten State”. Michiganders can tell their place just by pointing at their hands.

Although they are both pride of Michigan, the rivalry between the Wolverines and the Spartans is quite intense. Do your research and pick the team you wanted to go with because as soon as you set foot at the Mitten State, you will immediately feel how intense the rivalry is.

The Great Lakes State experiences four seasons throughout the year. But, there are times that all of this season can happen in just one week! Also, the weather varies a lot depending on where you’re at in the state. The weather in Detroit can be way different in the other parts of Michigan.

Michiganders Are Also Called Yoopers and Trolls

Yoopers and Trolls are slang terms used to describe where in Michigan someone is from. Yooper for people living in the Upper Peninsula (UP) and Troll for someone living in the Lower Peninsula. It’s easy to understand where the term YOOPER came from but the TROLL is a bit tricky for some.  The term troll comes from the fact that the people living at the LP live below the Mackinac Bridge, thus living under the bridge like a troll.

The Michigan Left

A Michigan left is an at-grade intersection design which replaces each left turn with a U-turn and a right turn. The design was given the name due to its frequent use along roads and highways in the U.S. state of Michigan since the late 1960s.

The design is also sometimes referred to as a boulevard turnaround, a Michigan loon or a “ThrU Turn” intersection.

Michigan is Full Of Wonders of Nature

Beaches and lakes? Check. Waterfalls? Check. Wooded areas? Check. Bike trails? Check and the checklist could go on. Michigan is full of natural beauty so if you wanted to have a good adventure with Mother Nature, Michigan is your place to be.
