10 Places in Michigan You Should NEVER Move To
Move to these places and you're gonna regret it big time!
If you were going to make a list of places to NOT to move to in Michigan, you’d have a lot to choose from. Michigan. The land of wolverines. The region of lakes. The domain of all who hunt. Some might say Michigan is the prettiest state of all. It’s an outdoor paradise, and there’s really pretty farms everywhere. The people are super cool. Most of them. What’s not to like?
A lot. Like just about every other state in our fine nation, Michigan has its good and its bad. It’s not all like this. Many of this state’s largest cities are more like this.
For the next 12 minutes, we’re going to talk about the bad places in Michigan. Some I’ve been to and seen firsthand. Others were suggested by you. But all of the places we’re going to t...

Gordon LightFoot Last Video 3 hours Before Death. He Knew it
biography of Gordon lightfoot
Gordon Lightfoot's musical career began at a young age. Growing up in Orillia, Ontario, he learned to play piano and drums before picking up the guitar at the age of ten. His parents were both musically inclined, and his mother was a choir director and pianist. His interest in music led him to perform at local events and eventually to form a band, The Two Tones, with his friend, Terry Whelan.
In 1958, Lightfoot moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music, but he struggled to find success in the competitive music scene. He returned to Canada and settled in Toronto, where he began to make a name for himself in the city's burgeoning folk scene. He was soon signed to United Artists Records and released his first album, "Lightfoot!", in 1964.

Lost - BobLo Island Amusement Park - Its Life Story
Thank you for watching, please consider supporting the MagnaLume channel by clicking the ❤️THANKS button on this video.
Today, We take a look at the history and destiny of an iconic Detroit Metro Area former amusement park; Bob-Lo Island. The abandoned amusement park was a popular local summertime destination for millions of Detroiters from 1898 to 1993 and then closed down and faded away with little evidence it was ever there. We examine the history and fate of Bob-Lo Island and its roller coasters and attractions in this MagnaLume Films' documentary.
Officially, the park opened to the public in June of 1898 with the ferry named ‘Promise” bringing guests which included the Detroit Newsboys group to the park from Detroit. The park was so well received during its first year of opera...

Move to these places and you're gonna regret it big time!
If you were going to make a list of places to NOT to move to in Michigan, you’d have a lot to choose from. Michigan. The land of wolverines. The region of lakes. The domain of all who hunt. Some might say Michigan is the prettiest state of all. It’s an outdoor paradise, and there’s really pretty farms everywhere. The people are super cool. Most of them. What’s not to like?
A lot. Like just about every other state in our fine nation, Michigan has its good and its bad. It’s not all like this. Many of this state’s largest cities are more like this.
For the next 12 minutes, we’re going to talk about the bad places in Michigan. Some I’ve been to and seen firsthand. Others were suggested by you. But all of the places we’re going to talk about rank terribly when you measure good things that Michiganders care about.
There won’t be many surprises.
Is your hood going to be talked about? Will there be any places in the UP on here? Stay tuned and see. So, put off that trip to Meijer for a little bit. We’re gonna hop in our pickup and visit the worst places to live in Michigan!

biography of Gordon lightfoot
Gordon Lightfoot's musical career began at a young age. Growing up in Orillia, Ontario, he learned to play piano and drums before picking up the guitar at the age of ten. His parents were both musically inclined, and his mother was a choir director and pianist. His interest in music led him to perform at local events and eventually to form a band, The Two Tones, with his friend, Terry Whelan.
In 1958, Lightfoot moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music, but he struggled to find success in the competitive music scene. He returned to Canada and settled in Toronto, where he began to make a name for himself in the city's burgeoning folk scene. He was soon signed to United Artists Records and released his first album, "Lightfoot!", in 1964.
The album featured the hit single "Early Morning Rain," which quickly became a classic and has since been covered by countless artists. Lightfoot's distinctive voice and intricate guitar work caught the attention of music fans and critics alike, and he soon became one of Canada's most popular folk singers.
Over the next few years, Lightfoot continued to release successful albums, including "The Way I Feel" (1967), "Did She Mention My Name?" (1968), and "Sit Down Young Stranger" (1970). His songs often dealt with themes of love, loss, and nature, and his poetic lyrics and haunting melodies captured the hearts of listeners around the world.
In the 1970s, Lightfoot's popularity continued to soar. His albums "Don Quixote" (1972), "Sundown" (1974), and "Summertime Dream" (1976) all received critical acclaim and were commercial successes. He also became known for his powerful live performances, and his concerts drew crowds of devoted fans.
In 1976, Lightfoot suffered a near-fatal illness when an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptured. He underwent multiple surgeries and spent several months in the hospital, but he eventually made a full recovery and returned to music. He continued to tour and record throughout the 1980s and 1990s, releasing albums like "Salute" (1983), "East of Midnight" (1986), and "A Painter Passing Through" (1998).
Throughout his career, Lightfoot has received numerous awards and accolades. He has been nominated for 16 Juno Awards, Canada's top music award, and has won six times. He was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 SOCAN Awards.
Lightfoot's impact on Canadian music and culture is immeasurable. His songs have become part of the national consciousness, and his voice and guitar work have inspired countless musicians. He is often referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and is considered a national treasure in his home country.
Despite health issues and a slowing of his touring schedule in recent years, Lightfoot continues to perform and record. He remains an active presence in the music world and a beloved figure to his legions of fans.

Today, We take a look at the history and destiny of an iconic Detroit Metro Area former amusement park; Bob-Lo Island. The abandoned amusement park was a popular local summertime destination for millions of Detroiters from 1898 to 1993 and then closed down and faded away with little evidence it was ever there. We examine the history and fate of Bob-Lo Island and its roller coasters and attractions in this MagnaLume Films' documentary.
Officially, the park opened to the public in June of 1898 with the ferry named ‘Promise” bringing guests which included the Detroit Newsboys group to the park from Detroit. The park was so well received during its first year of operation that the company began to purchase more of the island and install additional facilities. These improvements attracted even more park-goers which allowed the company to eventually purchase all but a small portion of the rest of the island.
In 1905, the park installed one of its iconic attractions; The Carousel. It was a 48-animal carousel built in 1878. The Carousel opened to the public in 1906 and great enhanced the popularity of the park.
In the first decade of the new century, increasing profits from the park would see the ferry company buy three new steam-powered ferries that could accommodate up to 2,500 passengers each:
The "Columbia" in 1902"
The Britannia" in 1906 and the
The “Ste. Claire" in 1910
All of the ships had dance floors and beer gardens on separate decks and was a great way to set your spirits soaring and start and end your Bob-Lo Island adventure. They were important parts of the Bob-Lo experience. The "Columbia" and The "Ste. Claire” were in service for almost 85 years until the close of the park in 1991; 2 years before the park closed for good. The ships were unique in their appearance and were Detroit icons for decades and even appeared in local area TV commercials for other businesses and brands.
Occasionally the ferries were even used as tour boats a various times where people would pay to go on excursions that didn’t go to the park at all. People would board the ships in Detroit and go on party cruises up and down the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair.
Although no annual attendance figures are available, the part steadily grew in size, attraction quantity and profits in the early to mid-20th century. As the auto industry grew and prospered so too did the fortunes of Bob-Lo Island. It became a summertime ritual to go to the park at least once every season for many Detroit area families.
The park even had its own brand emissary in the form of a character named ‘Captain Bob-Lo”. … But of course he would be named that…
Captain Bob-Lo was portrayed by an appropriately named man; Joe Short. Mr. Short was a former circus clown and was small in physical stature standing only 4’1” and traveled on the ships entertaining passengers of all ages. He wore a variety of colorful clothing, including a large hat with 'Captain Bob Lo' on the peak, and was typically equipped with binoculars for navigation purposes. He previously worked for Ringling Brothers Circus and captivated children with adventurous tales and knock-knock jokes until his retirement in 1974, at the age of 90. After the boats docked at night back in Detroit, Mr. Short continued entertaining at the local bars and taverns he frequented. Short passed away on Dec. 20, 1974 at the age of 91. .. I think I would have enjoyed the tavern appearances by ole Capn Bob-Lo…
The park passed through the hands of numerous owners over the years who kept the Bob-Lo party kept going strong throughout most the 20th century. The park added more and more rides added and was a serious competitor to other regional amusement parks such as Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio, Geauga Lake and Six Flags Ohio.
So.. What happened??
Starting the 1960’s, the addition of many new rides also created elevated injury risks and occurrences for ride operators and park guests. Many reports of injuries and at least 1 death in 1965 caused by bad ride design, faulty or improperly maintained equipment, poor operator training, and general inattentiveness.
