Product Description
A huge compendium of fascinating and little-known facts about Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula, the Northern Michigan Almanac is the ultimate source for information about the northern Lower Peninsula.
The almanac centers around Traverse City and includes areas around Petoskey, Frankfort, Charlevoix, Ludington, and the major islands in Lakes Huron and Michigan. Author Ron Jolly brings interesting, little-known facts about geography, weather, tourism, agriculture, ecology, business, transportation, government, and more to light-for example, which movies were made in the region, where the ghost towns are, and why fruit in Michigan is such a big business.

Bursting with information February 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Here's everything you ever wanted to know about Northern Michigan (Northwest Michigan exclusive of the UP would be more precise): weather statistics, geographic features, individual towns, businesses, population and housing trends, government, transportation, architecture, sports and culture to name just some. Whether a resident or visitor you will find the book a gold mine of information about the area. Charts and graphs abound, but so do historical accounts of events and people: the story of King Strang and Beaver Island is fascinating. Complete is definitely a word that can be applied with confidence to this handsome book. Well illustrated, to boot.
A must-have for northern Michigan residents and visitors September 21, 2005

This is an essential resource for people who live in northern Michigan or have ever visted there and loved it. Packed full of fascinating information, the book is a ready reference. I, however, read it straight through, as I was engrossed in the details. Note: the book is about the northern lower pensinsula counties west of I-75, so it doesn't include the UP or the "sunrise side."
