Moving to Michigan....

Published

I am getting married and moving to Michigan by the end of the year. I would like information on hospitals in the Detroit/Southfield area. My specialty is NICU. I've never lived anywhere except TX so I need information on how to get my Michigan license. Also what's the weather really like in Michigan??

Michigan is a beautiful state, we have more fresh water shoreline than any other place in the world, we have waterfalls, and mountains (of a sort), we have wild places that are breathtaking in splendor.

Michigan is home to one of the greatest medical meccas in the world (University of Michigan), a number of highly acclaimed institutions for higher learning, and the the birthplace of the modern assembly line in manufacturing. The network marketing giant, Amway, was started here.

We are the birthplace of presidents and film producers and pop stars. Michigan is the only state with 2 pennisulas and the home of an "island out of time" (Mackinac).

We have a thriving agricultural base with some of the best fruit in the world grown right here...ever hear of the red haven peach? That variety was developed on the shores of Lake Michigan. We are becoming pretty good at making wine and produce more than a million gallons per year. We make cereal (Kelloggs) and yogurt (yoplait) and baby food (Gerber).

We can downhill ski in the winter, and swim in the water in the summer. We have autumn color shows that rival the much heralded eastern state's. Our sunrises and sunsets over the Great Lakes are every bit as beautiful as those in Hawaii, Key West, or any point in between.

Michiganders are a hard working family oriented kind of folk. We take our politics and faith seriously, just ask the local militia.

We love our sports teams and have more hockey moms than Alaska, thanks to the Red Wings.

Come on up and visit us for a spell!

Did I just read someone BRAGGING about Amway being from Michigan? Anyone who knows anything about that legalized pyramid scheme is ashamed of it not bragging about it.

no matter what you think about it...they have made tons of money and the company is still churning it out...

they are not apparently breaking any laws and the big-wigs have, so far, conducted themselves responsibly...their home community is benefited by their presence...
