Petoskey, Michigan

(pronounced puh-toss-key)

Horticulture is obviously important to this small town – Petoskey has an abundance of well-landscaped parks. A flower box appears to be an obligatory addition for many windows in the downtown area. In 2007, this small town was ranked 2nd in the list of 100 Best Small Town Getaways by Midwest Living Magazine. Those publishers know a nice small town when they see one. The Odawa Casino Resort is approximately 2 miles south of Petoskey.
