CONDE NAST TRAVELER magazine has added Northern Michigan to its
“23 Best Paces to Go in the U.S. in 2023”
We do live in a beautiful, and remarkable place. Enjoy the article below that highlights some special places we all need to visit and enjoy!

Northern Michigan
The shimmering freshwater shores of Northern Michigan have long drawn summer crowds, and now with a host of high-profile restaurant openings and a wine scene that’s gaining national recognition, the “Cherry Capital of the World” is emerging as a must-visit culinary destination. Fine dining meets Midwestern comfort food—think: fried chicken and cheddar bread paired with inventive vegetable sides and natural wines—at Modern Bird on Front Street in Traverse City, which opened in August. A few blocks away, the aroma of spiced potatoes and coconut curry draw hungry brunch crowds to Hexenbelle, a new Palestinian bakery and coffee shop. Also worth bookmarking is dining destination Farm Club, which is equal parts working farm, market, restaurant, and brewery, and is accessible from downtown via the TART bike trail. Coming in late 2022, hotly anticipated Crocodile Palace will offer tantalizing Sichuan takeout with a seasonal flare.
A newcomer to the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, Dune Bird Winery is known for its crisp Pure Leland Sparkling. The scenic route, which includes 24 award-winning vineyards, weaves through bucolic landscapes and charming towns. The trail ends near Glen Arbor, a perfect jumping-off point for exploring the towering sandy bluffs of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Grab lunch nearby at The Mill, an upscale cafe in a painstakingly restored 1897 grist mill, set to open in spring 2023.
Michigan’s fate is inextricably linked to the health of its waterways, and heading the conservation charge is the Tribal Stream and Michigan Fruitbelt Collaborative, a group led by the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. The Mishigamiing Journalism Project, which launched in June, focuses on empowering Indigenous journalists to report on their own communities with an eye on conservation of tribal lands. —Christine Chitnis

WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO CELEBRATE THE 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF REBUILDING THE STATE THEATRE IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN TRAVERSE CITY!
Below is a published article from Michael Moore

Friends —
15 years ago tonight, after a massive undertaking to rebuild and restore northern Michigan’s 100-year old movie palace, we joyfully reopened the historic State Theatre of Traverse City.

It was an incredible evening. Governors Granholm and Milliken were there to cut the ribbon. Comedian Jeff Garlin from HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm" was the MC. Five of us put up the money for the restoration. Rotary Charities (holder of the deed) donated the building to our nonprofit, Thom Darga organized a crew who gave up deer season to bring the State back to life. So many volunteers pitched in. Jenn Jennings was there at 6am every morning as superintendent of everything. Buzz Wilson was our civic guru. Our current Mayor, Richard Lewis, was then City Manager and our shining knight who shepherded the whole thing through a very supportive City Hall and City Commission.

So many more names need to be mentioned. This town pulled together in an amazing way. I felt so lucky to have chosen to live here. And every time I walked by the closed-down State Theatre, my conscience would ask me a simple question: “You are a filmmaker — why do you allow this theater to remain closed?” Ok, ok, I wound mumble back to myself, and one day I asked the city for a key so I could take a look inside. I was stunned to see how much of it was still in good condition, even though the balcony was gone and there was no screen or projectors or anything but 55-year old seats. That was enough for me. Our small board of John Robert Williams, Doug Stanton, and myself got together and said let’s do this. And we did.

The entire reconstruction took six weeks.

Just before the pandemic we were close to selling our 2 millionth ticket at the State. That will now happen in the coming year. It’s been an exciting 15 years. Bringing movies that often would never make it to TC. Exposing young people to foreign movies from around the world. Documentaries to bring truth during a time of “alternate facts.” And just great movies. Thanks to all of you for being part of this.
