Unboxing Michigan: What It's Like Living In Michigan
HTML-код

- Why the heck would anyone want to live in Michigan? Well, we're about to show you exactly what.
Does Michigan have the best blueberries on earth?
Is it true that there’s a lake monster that lives in Lake Erie?
And where the hell did all of the car makers go?
We’re gonna answer those questions and more.
So, take out both hands and get ready to show everyone which part of the state you’re from, as we get ready to unbox the great state of Michigan.
Michigan almost touches Canada, but the two are separated entirely by water of some sort.
As far as the residents of the geographically complicated state are concerned, there are two Michigans. Michigan, and Northern Michigan.
There’s a lot of Packer fans, eskimos, huge mosquitos, and drinkers way up here.
They get a lot of snow up here - about 80 inches a year in many parts. Michigan as a state has the third most hunters per capita, where 1 in 10 residents hunts. But in the UP, 100% of the people hunt. Even the women!
The opposite of that is Detroit. It’s one of the worst places in the country. That’s undeniable. Of course, Detroit people will remind you that their city is trying to make a comeback, which is true. Certain areas of downtown look much better, and going back to 1985, Detroit’s violent crime rate has come down dramatically.
And of course, there’s Flint, which also struggled to stay economically relevant when car companies left the state. Flint is always towards the top five in America in terms of dangerous cities per capita. To make matters worse, Flint’s municipal water supply is...lacking in drinkability, and has been for years.
The Great Lakes contain more than 80 percent of North America’s-and more than 20 percent of the world’s-surface fresh water supply. Many Michigan residents boat on these lakes and jump off into them from tall rocks.
There are quite a few nice beaches in Michigan, especially along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The coastal community of Grand Haven is charming. Saugatuck is famous for its beach dunes. Traverse City was once called the second best small town travel destination in America. They also make cherries here.
The rest of Michigan is pretty boring. Lots of country roads, rolling hills and trees. Outside of a handful of metro areas like Grand Rapids, Lansing and Battle Creek, it’s Just a bunch of Euchre players.
Michigan makes cereal and milk, that’s cool. It’s also the 7th biggest exporter in the US, and is a leader in producing blueberries, corn, soybeans, grapes and apples.
Michigan is situated smack-dab in the midwest which means weird whether patterns, and freaky storms. They get so much snow, they use what are called Yooper Scoopers to move the piles of snow off their rooves so they don’t cave in.
Michigan’s weather is quite diverse. Ask any Michigander what the weather is like, and it’s hard to tell, since it changes so often.
What about the sports in Michigan? Well, football season is a big deal, where most of the southern part of the state cares about the Lions, while the UP roots on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Of course, being in a state with frozen lakes everywhere, you’d expect hockey to be huge here - in fact, there are more kids who play hockey in Michigan than in any other state. As such, there are lots of Red Wings fans everywhere here.
But that’s nothing compared to the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Everyone in Michigan does not like Ohio State.

Here is my entire Unboxing Series: ruclips.net/p/PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305six5T7dqGURF
There are four seasons in Michigan. June, July, August and Winter.
Lol. Well to be fair. May and September to early October are nice. But yeah I live in a warm climate state now because I got sick of those long winters.
video is weak - do some research
I live in Ann Arbor, and it is really hot and rains alot in june , july, and august. But after september, it gets super cold, and it was 31F this morning. When it gets to winter, there's like tons of snow. Last year, we had like snow almost 5 days a week and it was super cold. I can't park my car on the road, and I had to park a ford expedition and a q7 in my garage all winter.
Fair point
That time is all just construction.

The most Michigan thing you’ll ever read:
Pushing a grocery cart through slush and snow in a meijer parking lot while saying “Ope sorry I’m just gonna sneak right past ya” when you look up from your head being buried in your jacket
Ope. Is that a shirt? With a Michigan outline? Should be.
I literally said that the exact same thing the other day except I wasn’t in meijer
That pretty much us
Yup, and I love it.
And that grocery cart is full of hockey gear and apples.
I'm pretty sure there's some fellow Michiganders here
I am a michigander
Your not alone
I'm a michigander
I love how we're so proud of our state
Yup
Be prepared to hear “Ope! Scuse me.” When you bump into someone. Lmao.
Haha yes
I live in Michigan and this is 100% accurate
100 percent true
Does everyone not say scuse lmao they more you know
Denae Elise oh for sure,
I appreciate you treating our state with respect, unlike some channels...
I love Michigan. Unlike some states...
Is the baby Juan’s?
Yeah we are nice except to Ohio lol
Really? he stated some facts but also some random biased statements
@@Spark.710 naw, it was actually pretty accurate overall
I'm moving back to Michigan next year after 17 years in Japan. Looking forward to it. Japan is an exciting and great place that I will always love, but the crowdedness and cost of living has worn me down. When I went back home two years ago, my wife and I couldn't believe how cheap everything was...I’m ready to go home.
we'll be happy to have you. welcome back!
zezmerelda Thank you!
How was the living space in your home? I live in Michigan, born here but parents are from Puerto Rico. I love watching videos about Michigan but I'm also very interested in japan/the Japanese languages
Did u learn the Japanese language?
I did that in 1970. Best to move in summer or you will catch a cold.
Did he actually just refer to the UP as “northern Michigan”... I can’t
...clearly he not a michigander
yeah lol but NMU is in the UP so i guess it sorta makes sense
@Free Thinker You're right but its spelled Yoopers
Northern Mich is most commonly known from about the "knuckles" up into the UP.
But if you live in the UP, the "glove" part can be called, "trolls" (that live under the bridge from the fairytale) through conversation.
yooper here
Lol here northern Michigan is from Cadillac to mackinaw and the rest is the U.P
I live in Texas, went to Michigan 2 years ago and have been trying to move there ever since! Most beautiful beaches I have ever seen and great people! Thanks for the video!
Its truly a great state
lottovegas The Summers are a lot better in Michigan too.
I live in Texas too, but I’m in Michigan right now by the Saugatuck area. We’re trying to look for a home because it’s so beautiful and people are so nice around here.
I want to move to Michigan as well. Just not sure what part exactly.
That's because you caught the 2 weeks that aren't freezing as crap. The beaches aren't as pretty when you're weekend plans are ruined because of lake affect hurricanes.
NATIVE MICHIGANDER!!
Ambitious One This is your people's land if you ment you're "Native Indian" Some don't understand this their schooling was bad i guess. Our home is Europe
Crack open a cold Vernor’s ginger ale brother 😎
Lower peninsula Michigander here, the Yoopers call us trolls because we live below the bridge. And a buckeye is a shaved testicle.
Born and raised in and around Detroit been here my whole life I'm in my 40s and sure it's not perfect but I love the diversity from the people to the weather..
Raising my daughter in such a ethnically diverse area has taught her to respect and embrace human beings regardless of differences and there is something to love and excitingly different to do in each of the 4 seasons if you get out there and enjoy them!
yay Nancy!
Do you want a cookie?
Does Michigan has the best blueberries in the world? Yes!
Everything is the best in Michigan
Yeah i have a paternal uncle who runs a blueberry farm
Cartier231 maine has the best blueberries and michigan has the best cherries
No, I hate blueberries and I am a michigander
YESS
64 yrs old. I have lived in Michigan all but 5 of those years. It is a great place to live. The people, the sports. The lakes , the snow, the rolling hills filled with hardwoods and pines. Consider myself lucky to be called a Michigander. Interesting to watch this video, to get an idea on how our state is looked at on a national basis. It was very interesting.
I tried to tell people how great it is ❤️
We are also obsessed with mushrooming in the spring. I never knew this was weird. My parents played euchre every Saturday night that's how I learned new swear words.
DONT TELL ANYONE YOUR MUSHROOM SPOTS. where are yours?
@@NickJohnson somewhere between Houghton Lake and Tawas
Swear words like wut
We had the same childhood lol!
Weeds legal too
As a born and raised Michigander/Detroiter I can tell you firsthand that the winters are brutal! I have seen it snow with accumulation on Halloween and I have seen it snow with accumulation on March 31! I have seen the snow piles still hanging around in parking lots as late as mid April!
While what you say is true regarding northern Michigan, it's not really accurate regarding the Detroit area, which sees less average snowfall each year than Boston. In fact, Detroit doesn't even make it on the list of top 25 snowiest US cities (though the area is definitely #1 for most complaining about snow). Next, while it was true in the 1970s and 1980s that snow sat on the ground a long time in the winter in the area, it now usually melts in a 2 days to 1 week. Even this last January was roughly 8 days of rain to a mere 2 days of snow (which again, melted quickly), with numerous daytime highs in the 40s. How exactly is that "brutal"? Some years are a bit worse, but most are just common jacket and a hat weather in the day.
There's an impressive difference between Detroit and Isle Royale, about the same as that as between London and Reykjavik. Detroit may seem brutal but up there it's almost Arctic.
Well I live in Pellston, and they call it the "icebox of the nation". And we sit right in the jet stream that always comes right straight down out of Canada. But it has to cross over Lake Michigan first, so we get what's called "lake effect snow showers". I remember once when I was a kid, we had a car sitting in our front yard and one morning we woke up and I looked out of the front window of our house and the car was no longer even visible, and it didn't turn back up again until about mid March. It's a good thing it was a fairly new car because if it would have been 10 years or older it would have been so rusted out it would have literally disintegrated the car. That's Michigan for those of ya who don't know.
lol Can't believe you mentioned Meijer! WE LOVE MEIJER HERE!!
I love meijer there. I got new shoes shirts medicine some backyard toys and a great steak
Nick Johnson and half off sushi on Wednesday
actually its meigers if you live in michigan
@@carleyrich5164 I live in Greenville, the birthplace of Meijer and we dont pronounce it like that 🤣
Baron Chatdelamort, Actually most people there do. I kept correcting everyone. They call the Catholic school/church in Detroit “St. Matthew’s” instead of St. Matthew. I kept asking why no one calls St. Clare in Grosse Pointe Park “St. Clare’s.” I’m so sick of the “Meijer’s” thing when it’s supposed to be Meijer.
Michigan native here. I wish you had mentioned Mackinac, the bridge and the Soo Locks. I love my home state. Job well done on the information of our great state of Michigan.
I showed the bridge at the end 😊
@@NickJohnson ...not to mention the fact that cars are outlawed! UPS guy has a horse pulled flat bed trailer! (and GREAT fudge!)
Nick Johnson Hey why didn’t you film The city of Flint?
@@NorthernCold or Highland Park, Benton Harbor, or Battle Creek?
Terrie Westfall yeah I have the mackinac bridge car plate on my car
Great video. My family thinks that I'm nuts for still liking Michigan. But being a musician in one of Michigan's great rock bands has afforded me alot of travel around the world. Add to that my time in the military and I still love Michigan and it will always be my home. My favorite place in Michigan is the m-72 area from Traverse to Harrisburg. and just up north in general. Thanks! 😉 👍
Are you still living in Michigan? If so I’d like to ask you about a few things via email if u have time
What's wrong with Michigan?? Why would you be nuts to like it?
I wish there was more talking about Beer City USA: Grand Rapids
Nrgy Boy West Michigan gang Meijer>Kroger
!!
@Nick Culver it's not actually self proclaimed there was a contest for the name and Grand Rapids won
I love Grand Rapids, I live near it. I specifically love Art Prize
Or Kalamazoo
In Detroit the speed limit is "the bumper in front of you." Don't go faster than that. Other than that you are cleared for takeoff
I always said if I can see their license plate I'm not close enough.
Not like that 🤣 I live here - Livonia is bumper and bumper . Downtown is absolutely beautiful now and like he said - yep, they are redoing Detroit, love it . P
Mackinac Island is one of my favorite places in the whole world! I love Northern Michigan 😍
Me too Marquette is so rad
*UP the hospital is litterly called The UP Health System
I lived in Michigan for forty years after moving from Tennessee. I always hated the cold and horrible roads in the winter. For the last 16 years I have spent the winter in Florida. I love the hot sunny weather and the ocean.🏝🌊😍🐊
love these videos! using them in home school so keep em coming!
You're showing people or using them as homework? Hope you learn stuff ❤️
One beautiful State,yes I’am from Michigan!🇺🇸
I love it there where do you live?
Holland
I am from michigan too
3 or 4 months out of the year, the rest is no sun, the culture sucks and it's all old people.
@@NickJohnson I live in Royal Woods (Royal Oak)
Been waiting for this one! I love Michigan, it’s both great and terrible at the same time
Hypergamy
“You can watch the Lions”
Me, a Michigander: Dislikes
“LOSE”
Me: Smiles, and likes
Lions are cursed
🗿
Aaron Strager Watch the Lions lose? Lol. Great Detroit football! They won one playoff game in 60 years! Lol!!!
Nick Johnson For decades. Won one playoff game in 60 years lol. Brees and Brady in the Superbowl! I hope..
My dad always said it was a tradition to watch the lions lose on thanksgiving. He’s from Detroit.
i miss the weather and beauty of nature in Michigan
the weather is so soft, compassionate, and forgiving.
the winter is never too cold. the summer is never too hot. its all mitigated by the lake effect.
I love Michigan weather. its live and let live
Agree so much
I live in Grand Rapids Michigan Western Michigan that is
I love GR!! What's your fave brewery? 🍺
Nick Johnson Founders!
Shes a grand rapidian!!! Hi sasha it's Melissa!!!😁
Have lived in Michigan all my life, and in West Michigan for 38 years. Love it here! The beaches are fabulous 👍
I live up north!
I'm a michigan man for life. #goblue #gogreen
I couldn't agree with you more!
#goblue
What does that meN
@@abcdef-hg8ro U of M and Michigan State
Im pretty sure like 90% of the people watching this are Michiganders
Ohioan here lol 😂
Not a Michigander, a Californian that went to college in Michigan and wow, what a beautiful state. Came in August, heard about the humidity, but it wasn’t too bad at the end of August, then fall weather and foliage, I would just walk in awe at the orange foliage and the beauty of fall, we don’t really have a change of seasons in California, it’s 100 degrees or 60 degrees throughout the year and were happy if we get snow in the mountains and some rain in the valleys. But--Then came December and being from California, even our ski resorts are not that type of cold. It was a cold that burned, it burned to inhale, and I was told by Michiganders that this was just the beginning of winter, nonetheless, transferred next semester. Most people think California is this beautiful state, but I disagree, Michigan is far more beautiful.
Meee
@@nolannolan7323 did you make it up the UP while you were here by chance? The UP is unbelievably beautiful. Most of it is straight untouched natural land. Trees, inland lakes, waterfalls, the whole nine.
Marylander here
“Grand Haven snobs” couldn’t agree more 😂
To whoever who reads this I hope you have a lovely day :)
💖💖
James Bartsch Thank you your so kind 😁.
Relaxing in Holland after work 😆
What did you mean by wane.

Difficult time crossing into Canada? My guy, you can get a license that serves as a pseudo-passport and we're literally building a second bridge to ease traffic, and that's just in the Detroit area! Lol
Compared to how it used to be. When you went over the bridge and most of the time, you didn't even need to stop (probably only just to pay the toll). It could be worse, though.
In my humble opinion, Michigan and the Gulf coast of Alabama are the two best places in America. I grew up in one, and reside in the other. I travel back and forth frequently. I have been all over this beautiful Country (I even got stuck in Southern California for 3 years which absolutely sucked). I Lived in eastern Texas (that was pretty cool), but Michigan and the Gulf Coast of Alabama are my favorite.
Amen 🙏 Alabama Gulf Coast ❤❤❤❤❤RTR Alabama
Trust me I love the title of your video ! I must say I got attracted to the word "Unboxing Michigan". Video is really helpful .
Ok!
I miss being in Michigan. I attended grad school at WMU in Kalamazoo. Michigan weather is indeed crazy! Lol.
Cute girls too, right?
Augusto Dominguez Hi! How was living in Kalamazoo, MI? Is it an affordable state?
Cassie B. Well, I attended school as an international student and my scholarship provided certain perks such as housing & insurance, and Michigan is affordable for most people. Rent prices, last time I checked, were around $600-$800 and higher but they depend a lot on the neighborhood, and many other elements.
Go Broncos
Cassie B. It’s more affordable than California & New Jersey. Just don’t move to Ann Arbor, Mi (Democratic Utopia...aka...MONEY)
I love your videos!! Thank you for making them.
Love YOU Dana!! Thank you for watching them!! And commenting ❤️
Hey Nick...this was a great, fun video! I live in Michigan. Born here, grew up here, left here in 1993, and came back here in 2014. Now deciding if I want to stay or head out again. Decided to watch your video for perspective. Thanks! I even learned a few things. 🏡👍❤️
I grew up in MI just north of Canada.
Lol I saw "north of canada" and thought you where crazy but remember how Mid/Lower Mich gets to Canada.
For me Canada is always North or the East never to the south lol
@@Eowynn1 fr i was so confused
As a lifetime Michigander, we also put "s" on the end of a lot of company names.
Wal-Mart = Wal-Marts
Kroger = Krogers
Meijer = Meijers
We will also pronounce "today" as "d'day"
Meijers I hear a the time haha.
Ta day
Ta day!
So true xD although i dont say wal-marts. Still hilarious
do u hate Ohioians ?
Too bad you didn't mention little Bavaria... Frankenmuth, the beautiful shores of the "thumb" region or even Mackinac Island or the Mighty Big Mac.
Let's not forget about POP. We don't drink soda here... we drink pop. Vernors and Faygo.
And we're home to Kidd Rock, Eminem, Bob Seger and Tim Allen
And the pasties!! Oh yes!
Golden D Homestead frankenmuth yes!!
We are also the home of John Hughes... The guy who wrote/directed movies like Ferris Beuller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, The Great Outdoors, Uncle Buck, and Planes,Trains, and Automobiles!
TheHumanDirigible also like someone named Tom Brady but
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD! FLINTTOWN!
Golden D Homestead Frankenmuth isn't all like Deutschland! My fiancee is from Berlin and says it's nice there but much is comical, not like Germany. Nobody even speaks German, the owner and her granddaughter can a little, we talked with them last winter, new years. Gute Abend! Tschuss
thanks for the traverse city video!❤
Any other Michiganders laughing at that euchre hand? 🤣
I had to rewind and look.. Nope, not euchre lol.
I thought everyone played euchre just us hmmm
Native Michigander - you missed a few things...
Auto makers were holding their own until NAFTA sold us out. That's when the auto plants started moving out of Michigan. You highlighted Michigan State University playing basketball, but failed to mention University of Michigan being a leader in sports AND having one of the best hospitals in the Midwest.
The map about Flint being the only community that drinks bottled water was a cheap shot and inaccurate. I'm sure it was unintentional, but considering the seriousness of the lead poisoning that has taken place in Flint, it was uncalled for. Also, sadly, there are MANY residents in Michigan that have to drink bottled water or use reverse osmosis systems. Michigan has naturally high arsenic levels in many areas of the state. And pollution was widespread from manufacturing and also old oil wells that were not properly closed or were sites of illegal dumping, etc.
Michigan might be the site of 20% of the world's fresh water, but sadly, its drinkable water is declining.
I grew up in flint, auto companies started moving out long before nafta, it just helped the process along
True about the water, most of Mich is just bad water even where it was the least tampered.
I live on the other side of the state and drink bottle water and give my pets bottled water from all the stuff the put in the city water and the water itself.
@@johnbob4545 u kno trump was a Democrat til 2000, so that means he supported nafta 🤣🤣🤣
And a top rated law school too
61 yr old Michigander here. You cracked me up laughing numerous times ty!
Every state of the USA is so beautiful with lots of great people , great nature , great food, great music ........
I will arrive in the U.S next September as a new legal immigrant. Thanks a lot for many informative and valuable videos have taught me as much as I can understand American culture.
I'm from Michigan.. I really enjoyed this only because you didn't forget to bring up my home town.. Tulip time/ Holland Mi
Neomi if I didn't bring up holland you have the right to not like it ❤️
Something tells me Ann Arbor and Rochester Hills don't have many wannabe gangsters. Maybe Pontiac though.
Pontiac hamtramck dearborn...
😆
Pontiac has real gangsters
Ann Arbor maybe not. As a Rochester resident I can confirm wannabe gangsters are here, which is still very funny.
Warren is pretty bad for wanna be gangsters.
I can't explain it, but the music in these videos makes me smile :)
Great state!! So many different landscapes.
Everyone loves to talk about how terrible and trashy Michigan is, but this video has definitely opened my eyes to some pretty cool stuff about that state. It seems every state has its advantages and disadvantages. Like here in California, there are a ton of big venues to watch sports and concerts, but living here is impossibly expensive.
Proud to be a michigander!
Samw
Sameeeee
Me to
"some parts of Michigan can get 80 inches a year" there are places there that get over 200 inches a year
I am from Colombia. I understood almost you said. It was so funny the way in wich you communicate to us the information.
Grettings!
Hi Hector! Have you visited us before?
"These coastal communities are a big reason tourist spend $17.2 billion per year in the state. The rest of Michigan, pretty boring . . . it's just a bunch of euchre players." Damn straight. Also it's spelled Meijer but any Michigander would tell you it's pronounced Meijer's. :D
Haha I should have said that everyone says meijers haha man good one!!
Except Grand Rapids,its pretty awsome.
@@michiganmanmurphy8710 I cut it out of my quote hence the ellipsis, but he does say outside of metro areas like Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Battle Creek.
My husband (from TN) asked me why we don't call it Meijer. Because back in the day one stop shopping came to Kalamazoo because of a man named Meijer. It only made sense to call it Meijer's. My hubby gave up and now calls it Meejurs...can't take him anywhurz... 😅
17.2 BILLION.....and our Governor want to raise the gasoline tax to cover road repair......
We have 5 Great Lakes! H.O.M.E.S. You forgot Lake Ontario! Great video!
Love the video! Its so accurate!
Great video !
I had visited Michigan in the winter n summer.
A very penetrating cold but a beautiful outdoors.
I know a friend who lives in a little house by a lake..looks Kool but not a cold weather guy.
Michigan is a swing state and has been for decades....
I’m from Grand Rapids. We appreciate the media coverage of our great state.
i love grand rapids. how has it changed Ian?
@@NickJohnson Well first of, thanks for asking. I'm 19 years old and I have lived in this area my entire life. Same house same school district, it is all I know. I am not afraid to admit it. I'm lucky and very fortunate to have been able to remain in one house up until this very moment. With that being said, I love it here! It has changed a lot since I was a kid. The city grows everyday. I live more in the suburb/outer areas of GR, but I am no stranger to the actual city. There will always be struggles within these bounds. It is how a city faces adversity which defines them as a whole. Grand Rapids is the place to be nowadays! (weed is legal here now too!) :)
Literally yesterday where I live in Michigan it snowed for 1 hour rained for 30 min for 6 hours it was warm and sunny and then it snowed again
it's almost summer!
I'm over Michigan...just lived here too long! I hate the Winters!
I moved to Florida....i love the winter here :-)
@@joer3481 I bet
That is a downside. The travel during winter sucks ass
Then LEAVE!
I’ll Michigan winter over hurricanes,tornados brutal heat and wild fires and stuff lol
I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND SEEN SOME OF IT GO FROM GOOD TO BAD BUT ON THE MOST PART IT'S A GOOD STATE TO LIVE IN, JUST DON'T DRIVE, BECAUSE OUR ROADS ARE BAD ON WHATEVER YOU DRIVE.
Grand Rapids 💪🏾
How cool. Big fan here Nick. Didn’t know you were a fellow Michigander! 👏👏
Good stuff, Nick.
Thanks mike ❤️
You do a great job making videos of America. I would really like to see you do the same in Europe. I really enjoy your little shows. You are entertaining, you have a great speaking voice, and you are very informative.
I have always said that when i grow up i am moving to Michigan out of the current hellhole i’m in. I regret not growing up there, it must he so nice making memories their, so wholesome and full of nature. When i get there, it will all be peace and snow.
I love your channel. I enjoyed this video a lot. I have been living in Michigan since I was a little girl back in 1995. I love Michigan. It's a beautiful state no matter what others say. I enjoy living here and can't see myself moving to other states.
aww i love michigan too. i have family there. it's a great place you're lucky to live there!
Are the roads really that bad over there though? ( potholes, bad drivers, etc.)
Euchre is actually pretty easy to learn...it's the nuances that takes a while to master.
i guess im always drunk when people try and re-teach me how to play but somehow always win
if you can plat spades you can learn euchre. very similar
90 MPH! I'm from PA, and I've driven in every state except Alaska. 80 mph was common in Michigan when I was there, but I was very comfortable with that. The people of Michigan are very good drivers. When I was there, I was probably the worst driver in the state at the time. Another tourist took my place when I went home. The Mackinac bridge, and Tahquamenon Falls were my favorite landmarks.
Went to Visit Family for the first time in September. Loved it. Want to back again
go all the way up to the top! what part were you in?
Currently live in Atlanta. My boyfriend and I will be moving to Michigan in like a week and a half. Shooootttt. I can’t believe this is really happening!! Michigan here we come ❤️
Welcome...
samantha bernal hope y’all moving to the west side of the state it’s way better coming from a Sterling Heights resident of 20 years
You'll come to love our state 😁 grab some pop, invite some friends over and play some euchre on those rainy or snowy weekends. Good times
Tomorrow’s the day!!! ❤️😬😁
@@titabernal95 well congratulations! I hope the move goes smoothly. What part of Michigan you moving to? I live in Allegan county out in the country and I LOVE it!
Thanks Nick for the video. You did a awesome job hitting the main facts. I'm definitely proud of my state. Want to add another fact about our Great Lakes and its a important one. There is a estimated 6000 shipwrecks with over 30,000 lifes lost. Kinda takes away the complex parts of our state away if you think of all the lives lost and ships laying the bottom of our lakes. Oh and Nick ease up on the Lions. They're not too bad this year ;-)
I want to explore the bottom of a lake and see what's down there! And I wrote that a month ago before the season started. But just wait - they'll come back to normal again ;)
WHAT? The lions suck. They just lost 4 of their last 5. Stafford has a broken back. They are the lions. The picture of the lions fans and their shriveled hot dogs was priceless. I am a lions fan for 45 years so I know better than to have any hope for them.
@@NickJohnson Are you from michigan or just facinated?
I lived in Ypsi. When I moved I couldn’t believe how close I was to Ann Arbor lol then I started spending s lot of time downtown where it’s awesome but traffic can be horrible especially during U of M games. Definitely moving back. I love the scenery and the ambience of the area.
I will say this. Every where I go, I see a Detroit Tigers fan, so I know for sure Michigan people like baseball. I will also say I went to traverse city with my family for a few days this past august. It was a great trip and I really enjoyed the country roads we were driving on when outside of Traverse City. It’s more hilly up there than you would think.
It looks like a very beautiful place with all that waterfront. I have always been fascinated by Detroit.
I live in Michigan and I enjoyed this video! I would have liked to see Tahquamenon Falls and Pictured Rocks mentioned. They are amazing!
Ps... I avoid Detroit...
I showed rock jumping but yeah I missed actual pictured rocks. I've been there actually. I love the UP. How often you do you go to Detroit?
We also have apple,peach,cherry an many other fruit farms. You will find road side markets all over in the summer.
Wow you have done your facts work on everything on this post is the truth.Living here for 55 years you are so right on,so cool thanks
George would you live anywhere else?
The beach at 7:23 is one that my family, and many of my friends go to multiple times during the summer. Huge waves, and this amazing burrito joint called Buch’s Beach Burritos
Yeah, from Michigan and I’ll never leave. The only reason the wind blows so hard in the winter here is because Ohio Sucks
Is there anything about Ohio that you can honestly say isn't that bad?
@@NickJohnson cedar point in the fall after school is in, other than that can't think of anything
Nick Johnson Ya pal the roads are better, many big NHRA racing tracks like Summit Motorsports Park by Cedar Point, National Trail Raceway, The Zoos are much better, many Drive In Movie theaters, about 30 of them, i could go on and on. Right now i'd gove anything to live in northern Florida this weather sucks bad! I need swimming for cardio, nothing to do here this time of year, horrible
The whether isn’t as bad and the roads are better then ours. But thats about it
we_love_cars The what?? Another one of your Michigan friends Nick? Lol You mean the "Weather?" The winter is complete misery, one week for Christmas snow that's it then forget it!! It's horrible on our lives driving, cabin fever, pipes freezing, etc etc etc. Summer isn't long enough. Tennessee has the best summer. Our fall is short, but beautful, but so is fall in many other states and country's like Germany. Spring is the longest season.
Being a Michigander I love Michigan, but the weather here is so confusing. I like to remember the 4 seasons as: Winter, March, Thailand, And Cairo
I’ve lived all over the country and parts of Europe. But the time I spent living in northern Michigan will always be the best.

Awe, I went to MSU from California and was so shocked at how the school was seen as sub par, when it’s literally a small city and they have a great philosophy department and African American Studies Department. I didn’t feel like I was at boutique university, I was in town sized university. The size and diversity of academics made it my choice over Ann Harbor, UM is like USC and MSU is like UCLA.
I resided in Michigan a good long time before my departure to Quebec . You missed some good tourist towns...like Hell,Paradise,Disco n Christmas.....but you covered Michigan quite well.
I LOL'd bigtime at that house in the intro covered in snow
