    Your Stories: Summertime memories of Lake Michigan Drive

    Many of us have a road that's more than a line on a map—it's a memory.

    Why does Michigan have Mile roads?

    If you’ve ever gotten directions from a metro-Detroiter, you have probably heard a ‘9 Mile’ or a ‘10 Mile Road’ mentioned. Or maybe even the most famous of them all: 8 Mile. But where did all these boring road names come from? And how did they become a kind of cultural shorthand in the region?  GUESTS:  Paul Sewick, amateur Detroit historian and part-time Lyft driver. Check out his blog Detroit Urbanism here. Jeff Horner, professor in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at Wayne State University Jamon Jordan, Detroit historian and lecturer in history at the University of Michigan Residential College.  Cover photo courtesy of the Archives of Michigan  Want to submit a question to On Hand?

    Is Michigan’s 10-cent bottle deposit worth it?

    Is it really worth our time to haul returnables to the store for just 10 cents each? And is it worth it for Michigan's recycling industry to maintain a bottle deposit system when we already have curbside recycling?

    Your Stories: Euchre for dishes

    In last week's episode, we dug into the history of euchre and whether the quintessential Michigan game was actually created in the mitten. Turns out, not quite. The trick-taking game came to the Midwest — including Michigan — through farmers who visited New Orleans and Pennsylvania and came in contact with Alsatian immigrants, from a region along the Rhine River where France and Germany meet. The Civil War also helped spread the game across the country.   From the 1700s to today, the way we play euchre has evolved in countless ways and we heard from some of you on how you've managed to make the game your own. Today, we’re sharing your euchre stories. GUESTS: Keith Kim, an Ann Arbor resident who in college managed to skip doing the dishes countless of times by winning a few rounds of euchre Eric Farnum from Grand Ledge is one of the masterminds behind what he and his friends liked to call "Bastard Euchre" Want to submit a question to On Hand?

    Where does euchre come from?

    For many Michiganders, euchre (pronounced yoo-kur) feels like a quintessentially Michigan game—but was it actually created here? Long story short, no. But the story of how the trick-taking game made its way to the Mitten state and became one of its most popular card game is an interesting one. GUESTS ON THIS EPISODE: Jamie and Becky DeVries, hosts of monthly euchre tournament at Oakestown Brewery in Grandville, MichiganSteven Zink, retired IT professor at the University of Nevada and unofficial euchre historian Want to submit a question to On Hand or a story about a game of euchre?
