Did you know Leelanau and Grand Traverse are considered the healthiest counties in Michigan thanks to the TART Trails?

The TART Trails, or Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation Trails, form a connected network of paths in and around Traverse City that blend recreation with practical commuting. The main TART Trail stretches about 10–12 miles east–west across the city into Acme, linking with the 17-mile Leelanau Trail to Suttons Bay and the scenic 4-mile Boardman Lake loop. Smaller connectors like the Buffalo Ridge, Mall Trail, and Three Mile Trail, along with on-road “TART in Town” routes, tie neighborhoods, downtown, and parks together, while the Vasa Pathway offers rugged unpaved loops for biking, hiking, and skiing. A major expansion, the Nakwema Trailway, is underway to extend connections north to Charlevoix. These trails pass through beaches, lakes, and downtown districts, serving runners, cyclists, walkers, and skiers year-round thanks to active maintenance. Fittingly, the name “TART” nods both to its mission—Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation—and to the region’s signature tart cherries.

The St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Muskegon goes by several affectionate names such as "The Star Wars" church and "Our Lady of Concrete." It was built in 1966, it has a very different and modern look compared to most churches. It is a good example of a building style called Brutalism, which uses raw, exposed concrete in bold, geometric shapes. Instead of relying on traditional statues and decorations, the church is designed to create a powerful religious feeling through its shape, the materials used, and the way light enters the building. It is awe-inspiring. Some may even say it is a bit of an optical illusion.

Despite its age, some of the concrete is still curing inside the church. Here are a few more details.

• The strong, dramatic look: Its 75-foot-tall front wall is shaped like a banner, with a simple, large cross carved into the concrete.
• A unique roof: The sides of the church have a curved, saddle-like shape, though the roof is actually made with straight lines.
• Bells that stand out: Three bells hang from a concrete arm that sticks out from the main roofline.
• An impactful interior: The worship area has a low entrance that opens into a huge, soaring space. The brick floor slopes down toward the front, like a theater, to draw everyone's attention to the altar.
• Simple but meaningful details: Behind the massive, white granite altar are twelve concrete columns that represent the twelve apostles.
