Michigan has 11,000 lakes. Here's the story of one.
In today's newsletter, Gov. Whitmer signs a $19.6 billion education budget, we check out Jim Harbaugh's family vacation via TikTok and Michigan bars can now offer self-serve alcohol taps. |
A deep connection to a local community is really a special thing. |
Since 1986, Lynn Moore has been writing about the Muskegon area. When a community has local journalists who have chronicled the local area for decades, they get special coverage. A perfect example is this week's series on Muskegon Lake, expertly crafted by Moore. You can read the whole series by using the links below. And I recommend that you do read it all. She captures the importance of this Michigan lake and tells a decades-long story about Muskegon. She does it so well because she really knows this community. The Muskegon Lake project was so well-done and thorough that I couldn't link everything below. I also suggest checking out the videos photojournalist Cory Morse contributed. They add another special element. |

Michigan bars and restaurants can now offer self-serve taps for beer, wine and cocktails. |
Serve yourself: Customers at Michigan bars and restaurants may soon see self-serving alcohol taps thanks to legislation signed into law this week by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The law amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to allow tabletop and wall-mounted tabs to be installed at licensed Michigan establishments. How does it work? The new law allows customers to activate these taps through prepaid key cards provided by the establishment that must be secured to the individual at all times, either as a necklace or bracelet. There is a limit on ounces and no straight liquor can be dispensed. If you are craving a cold beer: We really can't think of a better place to grab one than Art's Tavern in Glen Arbor. |
