Either May or June of 2020 if I recall. So yeah. Height of the shutdowns.

If you do a good breakfast to eat ass at Brenda's Cafe it is on South James Street but it closes at 2 p.m. I believe it opens at 5 or 6 am

@rocco philbert I moved away for a while but came back!

What hotel would you recommend walking distance to the beach?

@@hiyathere599 Stearns Hotel. It is a historic hotel and they are very clean!

@@hiyathere599 I would recommend Synders, Millers, or Naders. Miller's may not be Miller's anymore as it has changed hands and it was closed, but from what I understand the new owners are redoing it. Understand, as you probably are aware by now, getting a hotel/motel room in Ludington without at least a year's reservation is very difficult. Even a campground lot is next to impossible.

Hey Jason!

@@LTBudd Hey Leona !

@@csnide6702 Not sure who you are, but you clearly do not know who I am.

Stay tuned

That's about a half-dozen people, if not slightly more.

This isn't true. Your local businesses in downtown absolutely need the tourist dollars. They can't survive without it.

Whenever I go to the Flint area I’ll try to make sure to do a video on Swartz Creek, but that might be a while

@@ChrisHarden I don't mind if it takes awhile, I'll be here when it drops.

Where is Swartz Creek? Would like to check it out

@@abigailheil4462 It's a small suburb west of Flint, I-69 exits 128 and 129. Not much here, though.

Abigail Heil What Nate said. Unless you’re asking where the video is. If so, the answer to that is that I haven’t filmed it yet.

You do realize that if that was true, the population would constantly increase. But as noted in the video, the town has decreased since the 1950s and remained steady since the 1990's. Thus, what you said can't be true because the majority of young people leave Ludington for higher education, and the trend is typically that people who go to college (university) tend to remain in that town or move to where they eventually obtain employment in their career field.

Hey Todd!

It's a shorter drive? But people from Detroit (suburbs) do (did) come to Ludington.

Or someone that’s very high class. This place is beautiful, the people are down to earth, they have motels that are just fine. Michigan actually has some of the most outdoor activities that are free. It’s definitely not off limits for people who want to stay clean and dry that’s just a crazy statement

@@abigailheil4462 Exactly. Much of Michigan is absolutely stunning, and caters to the "everyday" person, not always to the uber rich(there is TC and Harbor Springs if that's your lane). If by "not much to see or do" radby means vast forests, rivers, crystal clear lakes, and some of the most beautiful freshwater coast on Earth, then I guess yup, not much to see or do. Personally I'll take the forest over some flashy "resort" any day, anyway.

there are some upscale b&b spots in town, and some very high-end Airbnb options. There are are also resorts nearby (20 min drive) north and south. If you're looking for upscale AND cheap, good luck finding that anywhere ;)

This is so off. There's Sauble Resort on Hamlin Lake to start. One of the three oldest, continuously operating businesses on Hamlin Lake, having begun business as Gatke's Hotel and Resort in the 1890's. Over 20 furnished, well-maintained cottages (2-4 bedroom units) overlooking Hamlin Lake. Besides the local hotels, Nader's and Miller's (name may be changed) near Lake Michigan, there are numerous hotels along Ludington Ave, including national chains as well as locally owned establishments. In the video, you go past numerous hotels that I mentioned. What you do, is up to you, but most people relax. They find a spot, throw down a towel or two, catch some rays and relax all day. If that's not to your liking, take a trip south of town and visit the Reservoir. Once the largest man-made reservoir (now the 2nd) it's used to power the grid at night. After that, visit White Pine Village and the Mason County Historical Society right down the road. Visit the Ludington Maritime Museum a block down the road from Stearns Park. Need more? Take a short trip down to Shelby and visit the Silver Lake Sand Dunes where you can ride the Mac Wood Dune Rides. But again, what most people do is relax and unwind for a week.

@@LTBudd ... everything looks like 1930s... compare to Europe, South America and even other parts of US that have shoreline. Michigan is underdeveloped. Establishments have "resort" in the name but they really are motels with a playground and pool... and pricey too!
