There is just one catch, now the event has to be approved by the state of Michigan. I wonder if the powers that be will be as woke as the Muskegon City Commission? Here is to hoping they are.
If you are thinking positive and want to start planning to attend, the date has already been set. Smoke on the Water is scheduled for Saturday, July 24th, from noon until 8:00 PM. The event will be set up near the Muskegon River in parking lots at the provisioning center on Park Street. I have no idea what that means or where it is exactly, but if you want to go - I am quite sure you will figure it out.

UPDATE: This story has been updated that Muskegon Lake was filled in an estimated 16%.
MUSKEGON, MI – Seven historical maps, rolled, folded and tucked away, were recently discovered in the basement of Muskegon City Hall.
The maps were found as the city started relocating the engineering offices from city hall to a new location at the Department of Public Works. Leo Evans, the director of public works, said it appeared engineering recognized their significance and kept the maps over the years.
The oldest one from 1873 dates back to Muskegon’s earliest days as a city. A carefully penned note on a plat map says it was approved by the city council on April 9, 1903. And one map of the sewer system was stamped and signed by the state sanitary engineer: “Examined and approved, May 28, 1914.”

MUSKEGON, MI – Concepts for a $110 million residential and commercial development on Muskegon Lake have been approved by the Muskegon City Commission.
Commissioners were told construction could begin this summer on the site, which may require environmental remediation as it is the former location of a sprawling Teledyne Continental Motors manufacturing complex.
The plans for the long-vacant “Harbor 31” property across Shoreline Drive from downtown include single-family and duplex residences that developer Dan Henrickson said would be the first to be developed.
The 31-home Virdian Shores neighborhood will be adjacent to the Terrace Point subdivision that is nearing completion.

MUSKEGON, MI – Nearly 100 Muskegon city workers began voluntary furloughs this week, the second time furloughs have been instituted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The eight-week furloughs taken by 99 employees will save the city about $250,000, said Muskegon City Manager Frank Peterson, who is among those on furlough.
The furloughs range from 15 percent to 50 percent of the work week, Peterson told MLive.
The city saved about $500,000 with an earlier furlough, instituted last year from April through July, said Peterson, who is working 85 percent of his normal hours.
City hall has been closed since Nov. 5 due to the pandemic.
