On a return trip from visiting family Grand Rapids, Michigan (my hometown) we stopped in Saugatuck, a waterfront town on Lake Michigan, quite similar to The Simpson’s Little Pwagmattasquarmesettport. We visited a spice shop, a great used bookstore, and had a fun few hours before heading south to Chicago.
Growing up in Michigan three hours from Chicago I’ve had many a weekend family trip to the city. Now when I return to Michigan visiting family I always try and spend a night or two in Chicago, and hit the neighborhoods north of town near Belmont and Halstead.
