Michigan is, perhaps, one of the most unique states out of all 50 of them. For starters, it's literally in the shape of a mitten.

However, if you were to ask an outsider what comes to mind when you say 'Michigan', they'd probably say something along the lines of Detroit or Lansing or cars. But that's not everything that's going on for Michigan.

Enter: Portland, Michigan. About a hop, skip, and a jump northwest of Lansing.
