In December 1988 Ron Harrington purchased an aging little tavern called The Depot Bar. He later re-opened it as a Hi-NRG Dance Club catering to the LGBT community. This was the first bar in Michigan to cater to gays north of Grand Rapids. The rest, as they say, is history! Throughout the years Side Traxx has welcomed people of all walks of life, gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual and straight. The bar’s motto is “Not Just a Gay Bar! Gay, Straight or Bi, Everyone’s Welcome!”.

The eponymous retrofitted address on Wellington Street speaks to the inspired minimalism of farm-to-fork cuisine that has established The Cooks’ House as one of the Midwest’s cultiest eateries. The white, well-lit, 26-seat dining room is hung with modern paintings from local artists, and tables are set with white linens and quality crystal, but the restaurant emphasizes a comfortable come-as-you-are approach to enlightened local eating. (The dress code is simply “clothes.”) The Cooks’ House retains a high staff-to-guest ratio so that diners are never wanting for comfort, and atmosphere is relaxed and social with tables trading conversation.

High dunes afford spectacular views across the lake. An island lighthouse, US Life-Saving Service stations, coastal villages, and picturesque farmsteads reflect the park’s rich maritime, agricultural, and recreational history.
