We like to think that the reason Michigan has been on an upswing is because of folks like you and me and your neighbors. We're just everyday residents of this fine state. We get up each morning. We go to work. We do our best. We live in Michigan for a reason and we know what helps the state prosper will help us prosper.
That's why we are such big fans of small businesses. They keep the economy chugging along, fearless in the face of the challenges that face businesses of every shape and size. And we're even bigger fans of the people who own those businesses.
It takes a lot of guts and determination to operate a business and we want to say thanks to everyone out there who is doing it. You're key in our economic growth and the success of the Wolverine State.
Avram Golden, Mid Michigan Second Wave's photographer, went out recently and visited downtown Bay City. There he shot some photos of just a handful of the men and women who have taken up the challenge of being a small business owner. The folks behind the scenes making these businesses succeed are now in front of the camera. Check it out and join us in applauding their efforts.
