Town Named Paradise

Michigan is a lovely place to say you've been to Paradise and Hell in one day.

Town Named Paradise

You have Hell, Michigan listed, but not Paradise in the UP. Great that one state has both Paradise and Hell.

Years ago we were in a tavern there, and were looking for Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger in Paradise on the juke box. They said the cooks had it taken off because they got so tired of hearing that played every time someone ordered a damned cheeseburger.

[Karen, 10/13/2007]

If cheeseburgers were damned, perhaps Paradise would be their Hell...
