FAVORITE CITY TO VISIT
Any city or town in the Grand Traverse Bay area of Michigan in the Summer or Fall. Winter as well if you like to snow ski. Beauty abounds and plenty of outdoor activities await. I suggest enjoying an outdoor concert at Interlochen.
RECENT PROJECT
Mike recently assisted the City of Moline in setting up an Illinois “Business District” to help finance the rebuild of the iconic Captains Table Marina Bar & Grill that was totally destroyed by fire in 2018. It reopened in August of 2020.
EVERY CITY NEEDS…
