Moven to Manistee

[bavarianinnman]

Anyone know anything about the place? ive been hired by the state to work in the prison up there.
I dont know much other than its close to ludington, and I used to do a little trout fishen up there.

I start the corrections academy in lansing here in a couple weeks.

big change from working as a nurse aid in the hospital.

it has a peaceful sounding name.

I knew a guy from Ludington in college. he was like 1/8 native american or something, so he had almost a full ride to Michigan, but still couldn't manage to graduate or even stay enrolled for a semester at a time. he spent all his time playing video games and beer-pong.

I don't think he even knew that things like "class," "studies," or "exams" existed.

sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

one other tip I've heard from people that live in rural Michigan... buy one of those freezer chests. at the start of the fall, shoot a big deer. take it to a butcher and have it made into ground venison, venison steak, etc. freeze the meat in your freezer chest and you can practically feed yourself through the whole winter on it.

I just looked up some stuff about Manistee, and although I didn't learn anything you probably don't already know, it seems like a pretty cool place, if a person prefers small town living in rural Northern Michigan.

There's a film production company, 10 West Studios, that has made some full length feature films with name actors.

They also seem to have some arts organizations; and I'm sure you know it's right on Lake Michigan and has a river or two going through it, so a person would have all those water sports activities right at their doorstep.

Oh, and there's a casino close by too, if a person is into that.

Seems like a pretty cool little place, you'll probably like it.

You can get drunk and lose money at the casino.

You've got that going for you. Which is nice.

From a Nurse aid to working in the Prison. Big career move, I hope it works out. I knew someone who went to the Art school up there..that's all I know about Manistee.

I've been there for HS sports back in the day. Definitely not much too near Manistee, but it is on the water and had a little downtown, similar to TC where I was living.
