If you seek a beautiful peninsula, look around in Michigan (land of some of my forebears). And when you're tired of the trees, the beaches, the wonderland of it all, be a real American. Go shopping! Here are some fun postcards of Michigan downtowns. I particularly like the Lewiston view. It's as if the Chevrolet dealer moved his entire stock to the main drag so that the town would look like a jumping joint. (Site discovered via James Lileks.)
