A bit of levity, Muskegon...

In the Battle For Cheetos, safety in numbers does not appear to hold up to Swedes.

We've covered some pretty heavy stuff the past couple days, so today we're gonna go with the whimsical ... As always, add any thoughts or insights you'd like :)

Why is the icon of Plumb's grapes?

Some math: Metro Muskegon, excluding Fruitport, has four large lakes, a handful of beaches, two state parks, five cities, and The Coffee House. 

Who's more important, Norton or Mona?

"So, the major highways are I-96 and US-31 ... I-96 turns into Business 31. If you're coming from the north or south, take US-31 to Business 31, which is the end of I-96..."


Why is there no South Muskegon?

Muskegon Heights is no higher than Muskegon ... just sayin'.

Muskegon Brewing has 3,000+ friends on Facebook. Where do they all drink beer?

"Toastmasters? No, in Muskegon, we have the Crashmasters..."

If Muskegon Community College was designed by a protege of one of the most famous architects in history, why is it nearly impossible to find your way around?

Irony: One of the best trails in Muskegon skirts the prison ... which has land that would be amazing to hike...

When it's extended into Grand Rapids, will the Musketawa trail become the Musketawent trail?

You can send an out-of-towner on a large wild-goose chase trying to find Seyferth Park, just so ya know.

Seriously, what's crackin' on McCracken?

"No, the Getty 4 Drive-in is not on Getty Street..."

Where's the beef on LeBoeuf street? 

Irony: The townhouses downtown are surrounded by grass and empty space.

What are the odds that Joe Austin went to Austin?

No, really, you go to McDonald's to buy gourmet candies.


In a city full of water, Seaway Drive does not lead to any type of sea...

So, the world's largest (talking!) musical fountain is in Grand Haven and the world's largest weather vane is in Montague ... yup, Muskegon is in the world's largest sandwich of weirdness.

Ever wonder if a certain superstore hires greeters to put you in the frame of mind that no matter what happens, it's better than when you walk in the door?

If you type "Muskego" into Google, you get a city in Wisconsin with three lakes, including a Muskego Lake, and a recreation trail. It once had a Muskego Beach Amusement Park and at one time it had a trolley line. Muskego High School's logo is a dark-red-and-white "M" with an Indian arrowhead. Okay, I'm freaking myself out. There are no images I can freely use here, but you're going to Google it, anyway. You know it, and I know it.


Have a happy, thoughtful, and humorous Thursday, Muskegon and others ;)
