M 22 wine tasting room

     M 22 running along Lake Michigan from Manistee to Northport and then south to Traverse City is one of the best drives in the state. There's plenty to see and do, including visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.
   But it's also creating a commercial buzz, with M 22 stickers for vehicles, and even one group of business people who wanted to commercialize the route number so much so that they wanted to copy write the name. Thankfully, Michigan's attorney general ruled that M 22 belongs to the state and its residents, paving the way for all to use the name.
     This summer I drove the entire route again, and found this delightful sign and flag in Glen Arbor at the M 22 wine tasting room. It's worth a stop.
