Great cards and I love to hear the background! I knew about Motown - that has reached even us in Sweden. The other things were new to meI was born in Michigan and spent my childhood there. Michigan holds all my most cherished family memories.
Pasties-these are a Michigan staple. They come from the upper peninsula. The miners would eat them at their lunch time. My grandma taught me how to make them.
Bronners-this store is located in Frankenmuth Michigan. It is the Worlds Largest Christmas store. Open 361 days of the year. We would take a family trip there every year and have a feast at the Bavarian restaurant.
Motown-Detroit is know for Motown music. I grew up listening to it with my parents and grandparents.
Mitten State- Michigan is know as the mitten state for obvious reasons. To this day I hold up my hand and point to different cities. That was how we were taught in school. It's always a great laugh with new people.
