The goods and guide featured here are inspired by the simple rhythms that exist in the lake towns that dot the defunct intercoastal known as the Red Arrow Highway in southwest Michigan. Close enough to Chicago to tune into a Cubs game, yet far enough away to feel like you’ve stumbled upon an uncharted isle, this stretch of departed dune offers year round pleasure thanks to the freshwater magnificence of Lake Michigan.
