Note to Self: It’s entirely possible that you have readers in Saginaw, Michigan. If so, it’s rather likely that you don’t have them anymore…
I’m sure Saginaw is a very nice place to live and grow up, but crikey’s does it make for a dull visit. Bay City has the benefit of being on the water but the town’s boat launch/waterside park is juxtaposed with the sewage treatment facility which kind of takes away a bit of the charm…
Now, don’t think we woke up one morning and thought "Hey, I know! Let’s go to Saginaw for our anniversary!" I mean that would just be crazy. Laurie is actually here for a conference, and seeing as it fell on our anniversary, I decided to tag along when she asked.
Yay…
Actually, it’s nice spending a bit of time away together outside the usual grind, so that’s a good thing, but Saginaw?
There is a t-shirt that seems to be very popular with the locals. It has a picture of a smoking handgun and the caption: Welcome back to Saginaw… We missed you the first time.
That shirt is really funny. I mean, who would ever come back to Saginaw?

Awww…
If it makes you feel any better, I went to St. Louis, MO on my honeymoon.
Besides that, I actually was interested in looking at the Michigan tourism campaign, so I went to the website when the first strip (1/3) came out, and I got my packet (complete with map!) a week ago. Needless to say, I got quite the quizzical look when it was handed to me.
Hey, I’ve always said that there’s plenty to see in this state… you just have to know where to go as they spread things out a bit…
Happy anniversary.
I am fairly certain that Saginaw stole that shirt from Detroit, I know a ton of folks with that but it says “Detroit.”
It wouldn’t surprise me at all. They do seem to love it up there though…
