South Haven, Michigan
South Haven is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. Most of the city is in Van Buren County, although a small portion extends into Allegan County. The population was 4,403 at the 2010 census.
Because of its position on Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Black River, South Haven has always been a port city. During settlement, major ship lines stopped there, both passenger and freight. In the early 1900s South Haven became a resort town, sometimes referred to as The Catskills of the Midwest. South Haven is a major regional tourist draw because of its recreational harbor and beaches. It is the western terminus of the Kal-Haven Trail, popular with bicyclists and snowmobilers. Nearby are Van Buren State Park and the Van Buren Trail State Park.

The Wadsworth House, Bed & Breakfast, Traverse City, Michigan
Welcome to The Wadsworth House
The Wadsworth House is a recently renovated five-bedroom vacation home in Traverse City’s Historic District. It is located adjacent to Lars Hockstead auditorium, three blocks from West Bay and the heart of downtown.
The Wadsworth has operated for over 100 years, as a rooming and boarding house. Amenities include: a shared kitchen and bathrooms, upscale furnished rooms, incredible location, and a quiet historic neighborhood.
The Wadsworth was initially purchased renovated in December 2012 by the Shaws. They spent countless hours restoring the historical features, and updating rooms and bathrooms.
On May 17th, 2016 Jason and Daena Thibodeau purchased The Wadsworth and continued the renovations and updates. They look forward to continuing the Wadsworth as an inn style vacation getaway.
The History:
The Wadsworth House dates back to as early as 1899 when Mrs. Cora Downing took in boarders. In 1910 the U.S. census listed six residents at 402 Wadsworth. They included Henry and Bertha Sparling – head of household, Mary Louise Fitts-boarder and teacher in Traverse City, Clara Miner-boarder and assistant clerk at the Traverse City clerk’s office, Robert Edwards-roomer and salesman at a local Traverse clothing store, John Hike-roomer and commercial traveler and Etta Minor-roomer who worked as a sales lady at a dry goods store.
The difference between roomer and boarder were meals. The boarders of course were served food and the roomers had a room only. The Wadsworth is currently not serving food, but we do provide a private kitchen with goodies for the guests.
Henry Sparling died in 1951 and the Wadsworth sat vacant for a couple of years until it was purchased by the Anderson family, who ran the home as The Wadsworth House for Girls. The third owner was Francis Vannunen, who deeded the property to Diane Fotchman. Ms. Fotchman continued operations until she sold the home in December of 2012 to William and Deborah Shaw. The Shaws significantly renovated the home over 4 years, until sold to Jason and Daena Thibodeau in May of 2016. The Thibodeau’s have continued (and are still continuing) renovations. The Shaw’s then the Thibodeau’s opened the home as a vacation getaway to Traverse City visitors since 2013.
The Wadsworth is, as far as we know, the only grandfathered-in boarding/rooming house in Traverse City. The Thibodeau’s are operating the Wadsworth under a Traverse City rental license Number CR13-0001.
Location
402 Wadsworth St, Traverse City, Michigan
What is close to the Wadsworth?
Everything Traverse City!
That means beaches, Clinch Park & Marina, swimming, volleyball, paddle boarding, kayaking, Cherry festival, Film Festival, theaters, the remarkable historical must see Grand Traverse Commons, the Boardman River, tons of wineries, micro-breweries, the Tart trail, the Vasa trail, incredible food, coffee shops and shopping….. Just to name a few and all walking distance.
The Wadsworth is across the street from Lars Hockstead Auditorium, 2 blocks from the Cherry County Playhouse, 3 blocks from West Bay, and 3 blocks from downtown. In just 5 minutes and you can be eating breakfast on the patio of Patisserie Amie sipping a cappuccino, strolling the beach for Petoskey stones, or watching a movie at the State Theater.
The walk is not just a walk. It is a river walk, past the turn of the century mansions on sixth street, through the Hannah Park by the old Library (now the Traverse City Arts Center) along the Boardman River. You will think you have landed somewhere in Europe if you walk from The Wadsworth, but that’s just Traverse City.
Who knew Northern Michigan was so beautiful and had so much to offer!

The 10 SNOBBIEST CITIES in AMERICA
When it comes to being a snob, there are all types. You’ve got music snobs, instagram snobs, wine snobs, and of course, political snobs.
And yes, there’s even city snobs, as in ‘I’m better than you because I live in a particular city.’
The goal today is to see which cities have the most snobs of all. We’re gonna get a little bit of every type of snob in America. Some west coast liberal snobs, southern charm snobs, east coast political snobs, and of course, the smarty pants snobs.
To determine the snobbiest states in America, we had to measure snobby things, based on the number of snobby factors in each metro area. You know, the places where people are wealthy, live in big homes, attend theaters, shop at organic markets, and send their kids to private school. We even measured which states have the most college graduates.
Most of these cities have a lot of snobby, elitist people who make snobby their hobby.
So turn up your pinkies as we go through America’s Snobbiest Cities.
10. Washington, DC
Ah, look at what we have here. Our first stop we make drops by the home of the wealthy east coast elite, the Washington DC snob. Otherwise known as the social status snob.
Oh, and here are their snobby little children.
In DC, it’s very important that you make sure everyone knows you have plans for the weekend, that you’ve been to the latest restaurant to open in the neighborhood, and that you have a maid, laundry service, or food delivered every night.
9. Boulder, Colorado
Would you believe that the average home cost in Boulder is $630k a year? It’s true. Being able to afford to live here alone creates a certain level of snootiness among the Colorado elite. Many have described Boulder as an outdoorsy, hippie aristocracy.
8. Seattle, California
Let’s take a peek into the lives of the west coast snob. This is a newer creature who perhaps made his or her money in tech or a startup. The Seattle snobs complain about the homeless, and the cost of living, but they’re part of the problem themselves.
Of course, there’s a lot of Coffee snobs here in Seattle, home of the snobbiest culinary restaurant on earth, Starbucks. But Seattleites will look down on your pumpkin spice latte in favor of the offblend Egyptian variety they got at whole foods or at the farmers market.
And, Nordstrom is headquartered here. That’s so snobtastic.
7. Charleston, South Carolina
There are art museums and private schools up the wazoo in Charleston. And in case you didn’t know, the cost of a house in Charleston proper is more than us regular 99 percenters can afford.
Plus, downtown Charleston has perhaps the highest concentration of snobby retail in the nation.
Just a quick search shows us places like Louis and J Crew.
6. Pasadena, CA
Pasadena calls itself crown city, which means they are coronating themselves as elitists. Here you’ll find the 3rd highest number of private schools in the nation, 4th most theaters per capita, and one of the wealthiest enclaves in the country, too.
What, you haven’t heard of this fine place, Pasadena? Have you ever watched the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day? That’s in Pasadena.
5. Berkeley, CA
Berkeleyites are so much smarter, more sophisticated, progressive, and way more learned than you and I. In fact, Berkeley was called the 5th brainiest city in the entire country by a somewhat reputable source we found on Google.
4. Los Angeles, CA
Have you ever been to LA? As if. This is the center of all that is snobberific. Even downtown LA, which used to be a total dump, is on the snob upswing. Places like West Hollywood, West LA, Brentwood, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, Manhattan Beach, Playa Del Rey...there are snobs all over the place.
3. Portland, Oregon
Spend a weekend in Portland, and you’ll run into all sorts of people in the snob family tree. There’s wine snobs, coffee snobs, beer snobs, farmers market snobs.
2. Cambridge, Massachusetts
There’s one big reason Cambridge is on this list. It starts with an S and ends in MART. These folks are just geniuses. They’re spoiled with culture, too.
Not only do families in Cambridge command relatively big salaries, over two-thirds of the residents in Cambridge have a college degree. This is home to Harvard University, after all.
1. San Francisco, CA
The median home price here is $1.7 million. And that’s the median price. Those were the home prices when I wrote this, you can bet they went up again by the time you’re watching this video.
Besides the high home prices and the inflated egos that come with a booming tech scene, it’s also one of the smartest places in the country too.
This channel talks about America, different states, education, travel, geography and what it's like to live in different places in America.

U.S. Senate: Impeachment Trial (Day 11)
The Senate impeachment trial of President Trump continues.
1950s STORY OF THE U.S. MAIL USPS PROMOTIONAL FILM LETTER SORTING & DELIVERY 64334
This 1950s color film is an educational public service announcement by the U.S. Postal Service. The film was produced by Lewis & Martin Films Inc. The focus of this film is to educate viewers on postal automation technology. The film begins with a vintage post office seal, followed by Arthur Summerfield, the Postmaster General from 1953-1961 under President Eisenhower, who speaks briefly about the mail service (0:42-1:30). Mail is dropped in and picked up from different mailboxes, including in a dual Local and Out of Town mailbox (1:31-1:58). Workers sort mail and boxes (1:59-2:17). New home construction is briefly showcased, including model homes (2:18-2:38). An aerial view shows a large factory and work trucks (2:39-2:54). Vintage illustrations show the U.S. map, as well as an overstuffed post office bursting at the seams and sending mail flying (2:55-3:30). A woman walks into a vintage “Victorian elegant” post office lobby (4:02-4:17). Men push carts and toss packages in a postal processing facility, letters are sorted into city boxes by hand, and packages from a mountain of boxes are tossed into hampers (4:18-5:00). The Transorma Letter Sorting Machine, the first implementation of a semiautomatic mail sorter, is operated by five clerks. Mail is shown being sorted by hand for contrast (5:01-5:43). An automated conveyor belt system is demonstrated, moving mail to different area (5:45-6:38). Boxes are moved down a conveyor belt where a keyboard operator punches in the address area for automatic sorting (6:39-7:14). A postman walks his route and delivers mail. 1950s post office trucks drop off packages (7:15-8:13). A carrier uses an experimental, three-wheeled post office truck (8:14-8:30). A postman pushes a postal cart down the sidewalk, delivering mail (8:31-8:40). The first version of a modern post office layout is shown, including the 24x7 lobby (8:41-9:13). Innovations such as early automated stamp machine, the post office lockbox, and the presence of ballpoint pens are briefly showcased (9:14-9:35). A woman prepares business mail and bundles mail with pressure-sensitive tape, dropping them into a triple-section mailbox (9:36-10:54). An experimental automatic culling machine, an automatic canceling machine, an electronic scanner that reads typed and printed addresses, and a code control machine are demonstrated. Researchers experiment with different mail automation ideas (10:55-13:10). Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield speaks to the camera to conclude the film (13:11-14:33).
