Lifelong Michigander aims to promote all that is good about
the state of Michigan. The mainstream media too often focus on the negative
aspects of Michigan (to be fair, they focus on the negative aspects of just
about everything). Lifelong Michigander does not deny that Michigan, like every
other state, has some warts, but the mainstream media can focus on those. This blog
hopes to provide content that spotlights Michiganders who are making a
difference, Michigan’s past and present contributions to society, Michigan sports and everything
that makes Michigan uniquely wonderful.
In an episode of Mad Men, Don Draper says, "If
you don't like what's being said then change the conversation."
Michiganders, especially those of us living out of state, hear a lot of the
negative stories from the mainstream media spit back at us, often by people who
have never experienced how wonderful Michigan actually is. Maybe some of the
positive stories on this blog can help Michiganders change the conversation.

your business, nonprofit, book, movie, or any other positive Michigan news
stories.
