Alabama "heart of dixie"

@RiLaR: your welcome. i hope the post goes well and you enjoy it.

@yesman777: i believe that may be true as ohio's slang . . . the heart of it all . . but the official nickname?

The first state police radio system in the world was established in 1929 by the Michigan State Police.

The first people in the nation to receive assigned phone numbers lived in Detroit in 1879.

Singing sand can be found on the beaches of Grand Haven. The sand particles make a whistling sound as you walk upon them. (True story.. Heard it myself)

The first soda pop made in the U.S., Vernor’s ginger ale, was created by accident in 1866 in Detroit.

Michigan is a leading state in the ownership of recreational boats and in the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.

@April666: would that have been base to base, or the base to units? are you googling?

@April666: i like vernors. is it still made n bottled there?

@Heels...I think all 50 states are unique I want to go on a cruiseliner to see them all lol tho i like Florida for them beaches Las Vegas entertainment New York statue of Liberty etc

Huh? I wrote a message bk. It never posted.

I had to google the years and where the whistling sand was.. the rest I already knew.

I am not sure about the Police radios & as far as I know Vernors is bottled w/ the 7up company, where-ever that is

And for the life of me I cannot find the year or town it came from but the Detroit Lions used to be from Ohio & they were called the Spartans, they were bought, moved to Detroit & to keep w/ the Jungle theme of the Tigers re-named the Lions
