Why the heck would anyone want to live in Michigan? Well, we're about to show you exactly what.

Does Michigan have the best blueberries on earth?
Is it true that there’s a lake monster that lives in Lake Erie?
And where the hell did all of the car makers go?

We’re gonna answer those questions and more.

So, take out both hands and get ready to show everyone which part of the state you’re from, as we get ready to unbox the great state of Michigan.

Michigan almost touches Canada, but the two are separated entirely by water of some sort.

As far as the residents of the geographically complicated state are concerned, there are two Michigans. Michigan, and Northern Michigan.

There’s a lot of Packer fans, eskimos, huge mosquitos, and drinkers way up here.

They get a lot of snow up here - about 80 inches a year in many parts. Michigan as a state has the third most hunters per capita, where 1 in 10 residents hunts. But in the UP, 100% of the people hunt. Even the women!

The opposite of that is Detroit. It’s one of the worst places in the country. That’s undeniable. Of course, Detroit people will remind you that their city is trying to make a comeback, which is true. Certain areas of downtown look much better, and going back to 1985, Detroit’s violent crime rate has come down dramatically.

And of course, there’s Flint, which also struggled to stay economically relevant when car companies left the state. Flint is always towards the top five in America in terms of dangerous cities per capita. To make matters worse, Flint’s municipal water supply is...lacking in drinkability, and has been for years.

The Great Lakes contain more than 80 percent of North America’s—and more than 20 percent of the world’s—surface fresh water supply. Many Michigan residents boat on these lakes and jump off into them from tall rocks.

There are quite a few nice beaches in Michigan, especially along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The coastal community of Grand Haven is charming. Saugatuck is famous for its beach dunes. Traverse City was once called the second best small town travel destination in America. They also make cherries here.

The rest of Michigan is pretty boring. Lots of country roads, rolling hills and trees. Outside of a handful of metro areas like Grand Rapids, Lansing and Battle Creek, it’s Just a bunch of Euchre players.

Michigan makes cereal and milk, that’s cool. It’s also the 7th biggest exporter in the US, and is a leader in producing blueberries, corn, soybeans, grapes and apples.

Michigan is situated smack-dab in the midwest which means weird whether patterns, and freaky storms. They get so much snow, they use what are called Yooper Scoopers to move the piles of snow off their rooves so they don’t cave in.

Michigan’s weather is quite diverse. Ask any Michigander what the weather is like, and it’s hard to tell, since it changes so often.

What about the sports in Michigan? Well, football season is a big deal, where most of the southern part of the state cares about the Lions, while the UP roots on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Of course, being in a state with frozen lakes everywhere, you’d expect hockey to be huge here - in fact, there are more kids who play hockey in Michigan than in any other state. As such, there are lots of Red Wings fans everywhere here.

But that’s nothing compared to the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Everyone in Michigan does not like Ohio State.
