This past weekend, we took a drive down to Turkeyville, USA, about 40 miles S/SW of Lansing. It's not a city (although I think the owners would like it to be) but rather a fully sustainable working farm where they have a restaurant, general store (the "granary"), an ice cream shoppe, fudge stand, big red barn where you can see the animals, and a lovely view of the lush green rolling hills (small hills) on the property. Oh and they do dinner theater (turkey dinner, naturally!) but we didn't partake. We did have a lunch (turkey sub for me and a hot turkey sandwich for Dave + a piece of Michigan blueberry pie). I don't know if it was the world's best, but eating on the farm that spawned my lunch was certainly a new experience!
Later, we drove to downtown Marshall, which is a well-preserved town with a historic main street, cute little antique shops and many, many landmarks. The neighborhoods around the main street were filled with victorian homes, lots of open space & meticulously cut grass. It reminded me of Maplewood, NJ (where a CNET friend lives) - but sadly, w/out the 20 minute commute into Manhattan!
P.S. . .does anyone get the reference in the post title (It's a riff on a SNL skit with Justin Timberlake!)
