By John Robinson 
| WITL-FM (Lansing, MI)
Recently, we bought a handful of avocados at a grocer. Normally, that would be a boring statement...but not this time. These avocados had a funny taste to them...they tasted like gasoline, or petrol. So we wondered what the heck was going on? In all the years we’ve been eating avocados, they never had this taste to them...so we looked it up. Basically, the taste comes from fats in the avocado that have spoiled or broken down before its time.

This one is between Comins and Fairview in Oscoda County. If you drive north out of Fairview on M-33, you can't miss this shoe tree - just keep your eyes peeled on the right side of the road.

Fayette, Michigan’s #1 Ghost Town: 1867-1891

It’s touted as Michigan’s #1 Ghost Town...maybe it is, I won’t quibble. But for my own personal tastes, I prefer the Michigan ghost towns that haven’t been turned into tourist traps. Visiting Fayette is extremely enjoyable and historic..... but it doesn’t give you that eerie sensation that comes over you when you visit one of our other, more secluded ghost towns that doesn’t have lots of other people gawking and getting in your way. Fayette sits in the Garden Peninsula, in the UP’s Delta County.
