SperlingViews - Manistee, Michigan

Manistee is a lovely town along the Lake Michigan shoreline. There is a new problem,however,with air quality in the area. The landfill south of town was "grandfathered" in and does not have to meet the up to date standards ordinarily required by the DEQ. In addition a coal burner and a papermill affect the air quality. It is not the place to live if you have any respiratory issues.[read more...]

Well, Manistee has beautiful water fronts. It is a wonderful thing to spend time there in the summers. Summers here however could be classified as warm. There is about a week in the middle of July where you could use air conditioning, but the rest of the summer is very mild. Winters here last forever. It has snowed as early as Halloween, and usually stays until April. Winters are harsh and road conditions are very poor. Fall is beautiful, but is often short, as well as the springs here.[read more...]
