Our last episode was all about the Mile Roads of Southeast Michigan: why we have them and how they’ve become cultural shorthand for understanding the history of Detroit.
But the Mile Roads are just a portion of the Michigan roads that make meaning in our lives.
Many of us have a road that's more than a line on a map — it's a memory. Maybe it’s the street you grew up on or the dirt road that leads you to a cottage Up North.
For listener Tom Topolski, it’s Lake Michigan Drive.
