Movie-Making in Michigan
According to an article posted on ClickonDetroit.com, 83 film projects have come to the state since the tax incentives went into effect in April of 2008, which means Metro Detroiters and Michiganders in general are starting to get used to the idea of running into a celebrity here and there. Or are they? A movie is filming at a house near where I live. Word on the street is David Schwimmer of Friends fame is directing and Clive Owen of hunka, hunka fame is starring. While local residents are doing their best to appear casual, the sidewalk in front of said house never saw so many pedestrians out for a cold, cloudy, afternoon stroll. You may ask yourself just how I know this. Well, because I was driving by said house -- very casually of course -- with my nose to my window and my blinker unintentionally left on from a previous turn. All of which begs the question, when does star struck wear off? Surely Californians take running into a celebrity here and there a little more in stride? When we become jaded to the idea of a star sighting, will that be the final indication that Michigan's movie industry is firmly established? In the meantime, though, what stars have you spotted?

Zipcars in Ann Arbor: Car Sharing
Have you checked out the new Zipcar iPhone application? It was recently featured in an iPhone commercial; and, as something of an iPhone-application junkie, I felt compelled to check it out. I thought the application turned your iPhone into a remote control for your car. As it turns out, I was way off the mark. Zipcar is a car-sharing membership available in Ann Arbor -- the only participating location in Michigan...read more.

Turducken in Detroit
Ever hear of Turducken? According to the Urban Dictionary, Turducken can be defined as:
Any obese human that will set upon a buffet like a plague of locusts, stripping said buffet of all edible material, leaving only the garnish, the decorative toothpicks and the sweaty cheese cubes from earlier in the day. Turducken can also be defined as a turkey stuffed with a duck, which is in turn stuffed with a chicken, which is in turn stuffed with sausage/cornbread. Before you start considering the logistics, you should know that it is possible to create a Turducken loaf by using just the breast meat from each of the three birds. While one form of Turducken is easily found in the Metro-Detroit area, the other is still hard to come by. After an exhaustive search, this is what I've found out regarding Turducken in Detroit:
Know of anywhere else to get Turducken in Metro Detroit?

Detroit Hot Spot for Dim Sum
Dim Sum is a type of Chinese cuisine characterized by small plates or eats. They are served via a roving cart and include steamed dumplings, spring rolls and other types of Hors' Dourves-type treats. The cuisine originated in Chinese teahouses but can now be found at a few restaurants in the Metro-Detroit area, including Shangri-La in West Bloomfield. The table-side service at Shangri-La is fast and efficient; the portions are large; and the price per person is very reasonable. Check it out! More Information:

Michigan-Made Film: Stick it in Detroit
The movie Stick it in Detroit, which stars John Lutz from Saturday Night Live and Kieran Campion from All My Children, comes out at select theaters in the Metro Detroit area this Friday. So, aside from an ode to the Motor City in the film's title, what's Detroit about it? Just about everything. The movie's producer/director/co-writer/actor, Robert Phelps, was born and raised in Detroit. The aspiring filmmaker was living in Los Angeles and working as a waiter when he came up with the idea for the film and turned to his high-school buddies, who were by this point living all across the country, to help write it. The movie takes place in Detroit, is loosely based on characters from Detroit, was 100% filmed in Detroit and, according to Phelps, "is true to Detroit." If you're thinking the movie is a cross between just about any National Lampoon movie and American Pie, you'd be spot on. The movie is about a group of friends who are still hanging out years after their time together in a Detroit-area high school. Specifically, the group of characters are preparing for their annual Halloween party. The plot thickens when their ring leader, Todd, is offered a promotion that would require he move to Georgia. While the movie hinges on the will-he-or-won't-he plot device -- whether he will stick it in Detroit -- reviewers love it for its cast of characters and F%#*ing Funny rating. In fact, the movie won the Best Comedy category in the Detroit/Windsor International Film Festival in 2008. Check it out!

Did You Vote Today?
The 2009 election in Michigan doesn't have the controversy of a stem-cell-research proposal or the media blitz surrounding a presidential race, but it does have a lot of funding proposals and local government races. For instance, the ballot in Detroit gave Detroiters yet another chance to vote for mayor. Were the races and proposals in 2009 glamorous enough to get you to the polls?

Spooky Michigan Stories and Legends
Detroiters have arguably been desensitized to all things scary after having endured Kilpatrick's antics, GM's bankruptcy and mass layoffs. Maybe that's why we require ever higher levels of horror to truly get a thrill -- just look at the abundance of haunted attractions in the Metro Detroit area and around the state. As it turns out, however, a lot of Michigan's haunted and spooky happenings aren't manufactured attractions. For instance, did you know that: Want more? Check out Detroit and Michigan's paranormal legends. Spooky Michigan Stories and Legends originally appeared on About.com Detroit on Friday, October 30th, 2009 at 18:42:05.
