On this episode of Stateside, an astronomer and author encourages all Michiganders to make the trek to experience the full solar eclipse hitting the Great Lakes region in two weeks. Then, we hear how construction season is at odds with tourist season for some Traverse City business owners. We finish the program with a studio visit to a Grand Rapids-based multimedia artist who transforms what many consider waste into art.
