A huge compendium of fascinating and little-known facts about Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula, the "Northern Michigan Almanac" is the ultimate source for information about the northern Lower Peninsula. The almanac centers around Traverse City and includes areas around Petoskey, Frankfort, Charlevoix, Ludington, and the major islands in Lakes Huron and Michigan. Author Ron Jolly brings interesting, little-known facts about geography, weather, tourism, agriculture, ecology, business, transportation, government, and more to light-for example, which movies were made in the region, where the ghost towns are, and why fruit in Michigan is such a big business.
