On Thursday, July 28, 2013, Detroit, Michigan became the largest city in America ever to file for bankruptcy. Established in 1701, detroit was founded by the french explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and a party of settlers. Not one of these men had any idea that Detroit would evolve into the thriving hub of the car industry in centuries to come. In 1756, the smallpox virus and a famine threaten the many lives of the settlers in Detroit, but did not decimate the population enough to cause the city to die off. Later on, Detroit officially became a chartered city in 1802. In the United States, a charter city is a city in which the governing system is defined by the city's own charter document rather than by state, provincial, regional or…

presently experiencing limited supply while demand has remained steady. The limited supply is caused by the lack of new housing development within the previous decade. The steady demand is due to the City of St. Johns housing affordability and stable regional employment opportunities created by the city’s close proximity to Lansing, the state capitol of Michigan.

For the past four years, Eastern has been a second home for me. I have spent countless hours in the Halle library, and have braced winter winds up the hill to Marshall. Not only I, but…

Growing up in Michigan has been a dream come true. The sights and sounds of the Upper Peninsula are something out of a picture book. Looking out your living room window and overlooking one of the Great Lakes is something not everyone gets to experience. Moving away brought me to another great lake, another beautiful view, and more sights to see. Living in Michigan is like a never-ending tour of sightseeing. I consider myself truly lucky to live in such a wonderful place. Michigan did not take…

planet. In Michigan especially, the effect that water has on the land can clearly be seen throughout the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. This change comes from rivers and lakes eroding, transporting, and depositing; glaciers carving the land and leaving behind water; and humans manipulating water for beneficial reasons. It’s no secret that Michigan is shaped by water simply due to the fact that it is surrounded by lakes on almost every border it has, but the rivers and lakes have more…

Using your eyes to see, is like using your nose to smell, or using your ears to hear. You get my point? Our senses do so many things for us, it is easy to take that for granted. Our senses and body contribute to who we are mentally and physically. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, really anyone in the medical field spend their lives, changing people's lives and may not even know it. That is why they are my Michigan Heroes. My friend, this is story about a a life changing event that those people gave…
