This is a neighborhood joint that serves really good food and great pizza-it is a bar, though, so be prepared for smoke!!!! That being said, I usually order food ahead and pick it up-5 minute drive or 10 minute bike ride from the house. This is a place to go to for a real taste of "Miller"...crowded with locals.

This is the non-smoking alternative to The Flamingo...I think the food here is top notch..more laid back, but very good and also has a full bar. Close to the beach (hence the name, duh!!!)...

This beach is a 5 minute walk down Lake Street...I prefer the beaches at Marquette Park, Shelby, Wells Street or West Beach, but this is the closest. You can put a Jet Ski in the water here and there is plenty of parking. It is easy to bring the kayak down here, too...

This is a very cool place that is on the National Historic Registry. Used to be a bath house in the 1920's, now it is an event space. You can visit if it is not rented out for an event. We got married here!

I like to ride my bike to West Beach from this trail, which begins three blocks from the house. Take a right from the house to Grand Blvd., hang another right and you will see the trailhead on your left hand side after two blocks.

Whiting is a very cute town about 25 minutes away on the Toll Road. There is a historic restored theater, The Hoosier Theater, from 1924 that shows new films...really cool place. Whiting also has a sweet downtown area, with a few art galleries and restaurants.
