Book excerpt: Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Wolverine State has to offer! Whether you’re a born-and-raised Michiganite, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Michigan Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Colleen Burcar takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sites in theWolverine State. Experience some raucous festivals that celebrate everything from Elvis and Jimmy Buffett to bologna and chicken gizzards. Visit the home of the world’s largest burger, where you can still order a 100-pound Goliath burger, topped off with a one-and-a-half-gallon Colossal sundae—and don’t forget the 20-inch chocolate chip cookie. Discover where the law of gravity is broken, tour an actual glass house (the ultimate recycling project), and visit some amazing stone “hobbit” houses.
