Glen Arbor featured on AARP blog

From staff reports

The “Roaming Boomers”, David and Carol Porter, have featured Glen Arbor on the American Association of Retired People’s (AARP) blog. Here’s how they reminisced about Memorial Day weekend in our town (read the entire post here):

“Back in the mid-90′s, my wife and I owned a condominium in the small summer tourist-town of Glen Arbor, Michigan. Our condo association was named Hawk’s Nest, as our condominium was perched upon a 300 ft. bluff looking down over Lake Michigan and the neighboring Manitou Islands.

Memorial Day in northern Michigan generally meant 60º cool days and wonderful hiking trips in the outdoors. Imagine hiking to the top of the 40-story Sleeping Bear Dunes and looking down at the crystal clear blue and turquoise waters of Lake Michigan.”

And here’s David and Carol wrote about our Fourth of July parade:

“It also seems that small-town America loves a parade, and the small town of Glen Arbor would host a parade each and every summer holiday weekend. Hundreds would line the streets and watch as a stream of fire trucks, beauty queens, and countless small children on their tricycles would parade by.

Barb’s Bakery was certain to sell out of her famous cinnamon rolls before the parade even started. Those in the know would stand at her door upon opening to get one of her treasured, freshly baked, piping hot cinnamon rolls. Hmmm!”
