I am all for building Michigan Tourism, as life long Michigan resident we choose to vacation here in Michigan. The are many beautiful vacation spots throughout the state during the summer as well as during the winter months. I commend Joe Breidenstein and his efforts to make spring breakers aware of all that Michigan has to offer. But I do wonder if the mindset of the thousands of spring break travelers would even consider coming to Michigan instead of the traditional Florida, Arizona or … [Read more...]

I swear when I drove down Telegraph yesterday the roads were fine, this morning I felt like I was playing a video game were I had to dodge a pot hole every couple of feet. It is likely as a driver on Michigan roads you are going to hit a pot hole that feels like you left one of your tires behind, no matter how alert and attentive you are.

Michigan Job Fair – Engineering and Technology Jobs
February 6, 2008 By 2 Comments
On February 19th over 60 businesses from Michigan will be featured at this years Engineering Society of Detroit’s Engineering and Technology Job Fair. This sounds like a great event for students and entry level engineers. The part I do not understand is the $15 admission fee to attend the event, more than likely the attendees do not have a job. One would think that 60 plus companies could cover the expenses necessary to host such an event. The event runs from 2pm to 7pm at the … [Read more...]
