Swanton’s DeEtte’s Dream Diner

This is a good time of year for a short drive. For a worthwhile adventure, take Airport Highway west into Swanton, Ohio. DeEtte’s Dream Diner sits a bit off the beaten path. Pulling up, the building doesn’t look like much from the outside. My son reminded me not to judge a book by its cover. “Maybe it’s cool in there,” he said. And he was right! Past the colorful metal rooster greeting visitors (along with a season-appropriate plastic skeleton dressed like a farmer), the door opens into an extremely warm environment. Country music plays in the background, paired with a small wooden plaque that says “Hello, Sunshine!”

5 Best Restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Ann Arbor, Michigan — a city where the red-brick streets pulse with the footsteps of students and professors, where the Huron River winds through neighborhoods stitched with memory and hope, where murals bloom on alley walls and the scent of coffee, curry, and barbecue drifts through the air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Victorian homes with wraparound porches, glassy new towers, and the gentle sprawl of parks and gardens. Ann Arbor is a crossroads — of old-timers and new arrivals, of artists, engineers, and dreamers, of families who picnic on the Diag and musicians who busk beneath the sycamores.

Recent health inspections in some Garden City restaurants found accumulations of insects on insect traps and more between September and October, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports.
