The Man Bringing the Outdoors to 8 Mile in Detroit

Detroit's urban neighborhoods are concrete, heat, and noise — with nature feeling like something that belongs to somebody else. Josh McCreedy, owner and founder of TrailSense LLC, is changing that, one trail at a time. Just off 8 Mile Road, he's transforming Dorais Park into a world-class outdoor experience for the families and kids who call this neighborhood home. Because no matter who you are or where you live, you deserve a trail to call your own.Links:https://www.facebook.com/trailsensemiSubscribe to our Email Newsletter: <a href="https://totalmichigan.com/join/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://totalmichigan.com/join/</a>Find us on Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/totalmichigan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/totalmichigan</a>Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@totalmichigan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@totalmichigan</a>Mentioned in this episode:NWF AdVisit Our Sponsor: The National Wildlife Federation Great Lakes Chapter is working hard to protect what Michiganders love and that is our great outdoors.

The Soul of a Yooper Pasty

In Sault Ste. Marie, a pasty is more than food. It’s memory. It’s family. It’s the Upper Peninsula wrapped in dough and carried through generations.This week on Total Michigan, Cliff sits down with Heidi and Jeff Ritter, founders of the Yooper Pasty Company, to explore how a small food trailer turned into one of the most beloved gathering places in the Soo. But beneath the story of fresh crusts, rutabaga debates, and sold-out lunch rushes is something deeper: a couple trying to preserve a feeling most people are afraid of losing.This episode explores:<ul><li>Why the pasty means so much to Yooper culture</li><li>The journey from Coast Guard life to entrepreneurship</li><li>How food preserves memory and community</li><li>The deep connection between Michigan history and tradition</li><li>Why some places feel like home the second you walk in</li></ul> If you’ve ever tasted something that instantly transported you back to childhood, this episode will stay with you.Links:951 E Portage AveSault Ste.
