(800) 248-5253 1625 W. Houghton Lake Dr., Houghton Lake, MI 48629 www.houghtonlakechamber.net Even though I’ve known about this event for a long time now, I really thought it was just about ice fishing. Boy, was I wrong.

www.zehnders.com/zehnderssnowfest Now I’ve been to Frankenmuth before, but what was totally under my radar is that they have a huge festival there every January that literally turns snow into a show.

So I thought, what better way to end our day than with a refreshing swim? Well, it didn’t take me long to figure out I wouldn’t need that new swim cap I bought. Turns out Public Pool is a massively …
(313) 733-8406 www.mariashousemadesalsa.com The next place we went to was Maria’s Comida, a Mexican-Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Hamtramck. It was owned and operated by the Pronko Family, the nicest people you will meet this side of the sun. They offered an unlikely culinary combination that was absolutely out-a-sight. The crew and I went back many, many times. …

Alley between Sobieski and Klinger Streets, Hamtramck, MI 48212 Speaking of cool places, here’s a strange and wonderful place that should be one of the first places you stop when you’re in Hamtramck. It’s called Hamtramck Disneyland, and the man behind this bizarre backyard masterpiece is Dmytro Szylak. He came to Hamtramck from the Ukraine right after WWII, and after …
