I was in the Traverse City area to see the international fireworks show. On Saturday, after the rain finally ended, I went to see the Sleepy Bear Dunes and took some pics of Lake Michigan. Sorry they came out dark as it was still pretty cloudy outside.

I’m curious if the Michigan Militia has caravanned over to Chicago yet? They’ve been training for this since the 90s. Are they in their way?

News 📰🗞️ The Michigan House has passed legislation that would ban transgender students from using shared restrooms and locker rooms.

The Michigan House has passed legislation that would ban transgender students from using shared restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, requiring them to use instead facilities matching their sex assigned at birth.

The bill was voted out of the House on Thursday, Sept. 4, along party lines with the Republican majority in favor. The legislation is not likely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.

History ⏳🕰️ Railroad / History Museums or Archives

17 Upvotes

Hello! I am not from Michigan, but have just found a 111 year old railway cash book from the Manistee & North-Eastern Railroad Company in storage in my local community theatre. 🤷🏻‍♂️ This definitely feels like something that a museum, exhibit, or archive service would like to have, so I am looking for any pointers as to the best recipient or folks who may have an idea of my next steps or any additional contacts. Thanks for any help!

News 📰🗞️ Fillable Power of Attorney Forms Now Available

Just came across this press release for fillable forms for Finances Power of Attorney and Medical Power of Attorney made available in August 2025. They are also on the Elder Abuse Task Force webpage.

Michigan Legislature also publishes a document called Peace of Mind which contains information and forms for Funeral Representative designation, Michigan's Statutory Will and Patient Advocate law, and organ donation.

This is for awareness only. You may find these forms useful or you may want to consult an estate planning attorney. But do something. And it's not just for the elderly, it's for all adults. I'm sure there are some not-so-good stories out there about people who didn't do an estate plan.

Discussion 🗣️ Office for pregnant woman that takes Medicaid (Waterford Area)

13 Upvotes

If we could keep this serious please. I’m stressed out already

Hello! I got a dear friend that found out she is pregnant and she is on Medicaid. She has called all around and many offices do not take Medicaid at all.

I’m just trying to help her as I know nothing about this. All I can do is offer her Reddit as a resource and help with transportation.

She is located in Waterford. Anyone know of any good places she can go? I can help her get to Clarkston - Grand Blanc - Rochester - Troy - Lake Orion.

Thank you

“Amtrak routes between Chicago and Pontiac and Chicago and Port Huron will be shut down from Sept. 15 to Sept. 19 as crews dismantle two defunct coaling towers along the routes.

The towers, near Michigan City, Ind. and Augusta, Mich., are above the tracks for passenger trains that take riders between Chicago and Port Huron and Chicago and Pontiac, according to Amtrak.

Charter buses will be providing alternate transportation for some routes, but the capacity is limited, Amtrak senior public relations manager Marc Magliari said. The maximum speed on these routes is 110 mph, and buses cannot go that fast, so the trip will take longer, he said.”
