On this Behind the Mitten podcast, John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman are all over the state from the Keweenaw Peninsula to Saugatuck, with stops in Mt. Pleasant and Grand Rapids.

The show opens at the Laurium Manor Inn in Laurium, near Calumet in the Upper Peninsula. Owner Julie Sprenger takes John through the mansion, which was built in 1908 for Thomas H. & Cornelia Hoatson, owner of Calumet & Arizona Mining Co. The Edwardian Era mansion is spacious at 13,000 square feet and features 11 bedroom, all restored with history of who lived in each room. There is even a walking tour available for guests (for free), and the general public for a nominal fee. The Laurium Manor Inn, which was purchased by Julie and her husband Dave in 1989, is open from late May to October. View the Laurium Manor Inn Rooms & Amenities.

Next, Amy and Gonzo take you to Mt. Pleasant for a segment with Chris "Elmo" Walton of Max & Emily's, a sandwhich shop that is a favorite for students and locals alike. He exudes enthusiasm and love for the community. He is one of the most positive people you will ever meet.

On the show they also welcome Jack Eisinger and Kim Redlin of the Lakeshore Harvest Ride, a customized bike ride that takes you through farms, wineries and art studios from Saugatuck to South Haven or South Haven to Saugatuck. The rides can be as short as 15 miles or as long as 62 miles. The ride is Saturday, Sept. 16. Money raised will go to Friends of the Blue Star Trail, which hopes to build a 20-mile paved trail. Learn more about the ride at LHRide.com.

Lastly, Gonzo and Amy get to hang out with Paul Soltysiak, who leads the Fans of Valley Field, a grassroots effort to restore and revitalize Sullivan Field (originally named Valley Field), located on the Westside of Grand Rapids. They organization is bringing life back the neighborhood ballpark with a variety of events from concerts to a chili cook-off. Learn more at fansofvalleyfield.org.
