The Snug Theatre, Marine City, Michigan Well, here we are, right in the middle of our run of Norm Foster's Old Love at The Snug Theatre in Marine City, Michigan. We've finished seven of our 11 performances and we've played to packed houses, enthusiastic audiences, and even standing ovations! One very kind patron declared her experience "The best $20 ever spent in the theatre!" We couldn't be happier -- well, yes we could: We could sell out for the final weekend! Advance ticket sales are good, but lots of seats are still available for shows Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening, and Sunday afternoon. Go to www.riverbanktheatre.com for tickets.
While you're at it, why don't you do what we do -- explore the Sunrise side. One of the treats of doing what we do is that there are lots of opportunities to explore. And explore you should, too.

Living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we're justly proud of all West Michigan has to offer -- Urban venues, small towns, orchards, asparagus, beaches, big water, and lighthouses, among other things. But, we in Michigan are fortunate to be nearly surrounded by beautiful waterways and that's true on the Sunrise side, too. MB and I spent part of our hot and sticky Saturday in the gateway to the Eastern shore waterway, Port Huron. There's lots to do in Port Huron, but we focused on attractions near the base of Lake Huron. There are always freighters to see on the lakes and Port Huron is a great place to see them up close and personal.
But, there are other things to do by the water. Lots of people don't know that Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, the movie camera, the phonograph, among many other useful gadgets, spent a part of his boyhood in Port Huron. As a youth, he worked for the railroad, selling newspapers, candy, and other items to passengers on the commuter line. He also began his experiments during this period and the railroad gave him the use of a car to conduct his tests while the train was in action. The railroad depot where he worked has been restored and made into a museum, with a railroad car/laboratory and a statue of Tom as youngster.
