This time of year, everyone starts to look back at the months that have come and gone and the accomplishments that they, and those around them, have achieved.

Petoskey

Petoskey
This former Hemingway haunt sits at the northern tip of lower Michigan on Little Traverse Bay, the hub of a region that includes a community college, five marinas, two airports, the resort areas of Bay View, Harbor Springs, Boyne City, Walloon Lake and many other small towns. Petoskey's vibe is enlightened, hip and historic; downtown's Victorian-era Gaslight District is fueled by great restaurants, boutiques, an amazing bookstore and magnificent local art, fostered by the energetic programming of the Crooked Tree Arts Center. For big-name acts, glitz and gaming, the sumptuous $140-million Odawa Casino Resort has it all.
