Podcasts about Lake County

Where Michigan Is Growing (and Where the Price Data Makes No Sense)Michigan added about 56,000 people since 2020, but 26 of our 83 counties actually lost population over that same stretch. The fastest growing county in the state? Not Oakland. Not Kent. It is Lake County, a place most lifelong Michiganders could not find on a map. Meanwhile, one of Michigan's biggest cities added a grand total of six residents last year.In this episode, I break down the newest U.S. Census Bureau estimates covering 2020 through 2025 and lay my own MLS price data over the top of them, and the results genuinely surprised me. The fastest growing township in Michigan saw home prices go DOWN. All ten of the fastest shrinking communities in the state, every single one in Wayne County, saw home prices go UP, including one that jumped roughly 40 percent in three years.You will hear:Why Kent County and Grand Rapids are leading Michigan in raw population growth, and what that means for buyers competing there. Why northern Michigan is growing at more than double the state's rate while the Traverse City region faces a shortage of roughly 30,000 housing units by 2027. Why Lyon Township, the fastest growing community in the entire state, saw its median price dip while Inkster, the fastest shrinking, posted the strongest price growth in this whole episode. The three variables you have to read together (population, supply, and price tier) before you trust any headline about the Michigan housing market. Plus a real story about a relocating family who almost let a "top ten places to live" list steer them away from exactly what they wanted.Whether you are relocating to Michigan from out of state, moving within Southeast Michigan, or just trying to make sense of conflicting housing headlines, this episode gives you the full picture instead of half the board.Grab my free 74-page Michigan Relocation Guide below. It breaks all of this down county by county, including cost of living, taxes, and communities across the state.CONTACT ME

In July 1949, four young African Americans — Ernest Thomas, Charles Greenlee, Samuel Shepherd, and Walter Irvin — were falsely accused of raping a white teenager in Lake County.The Groveland Four, as they became known, were posthumously exonerated in 2021.

Three weeks after beating Kildare, Galway stand 70 minutes away from reaching an All-Ireland senior football quarter-final in Croke Park, as they host Leinster champions Westmeath in Round 2A on Sunday (14th June 2026).

Former Galway captain Gary O'Donnell joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line' to look ahead to the game. == Throw-in at Pearse Stadium on Sunday is 2pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Major changes could be coming to Northwest Montana — from fishing regulations and downtown Kalispell cruising to jail oversight battles and a troubling Libby drug court case. In this episode of News Now from the Daily Inter Lake, reporter Taylor Inman breaks down four of the week's biggest headlines impacting the Flathead Valley and beyond.Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is proposing sweeping fishing regulation changes aimed at protecting endangered bull trout and native trout populations. The proposals could eliminate possession limits for certain non-native species in western Montana waters, including Flathead Lake, while expanding restrictions on bait and tackle use across several rivers and streams.Then, the growing debate over Friday night cruising in downtown Kalispell continues as city leaders, business owners and car enthusiasts search for ways to preserve the classic Americana tradition while cracking down on reckless driving, burnouts and speeding along Main Street.Also in this episode, Lake County commissioners are moving toward shifting jail administration away from the Sheriff's Office, citing lawsuits, liability concerns and accountability issues. The controversial proposal has sparked questions about detention officer retirement benefits and the future of county jail operations.And finally, a Libby man previously convicted on fentanyl and methamphetamine possession is facing renewed legal trouble after authorities say he failed treatment court, violated probation conditions and continued struggling with addiction.Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

Their journey began with a simple desire to bring the charm of Galena's antique scene closer to home, and it blossomed into a network of businesses that serve, connect, and uplift Grayslake. Key Insights: Word-of-mouth and personal relationships** are invaluable. Trent and Lori's businesses grew rapidly because they fostered genuine connections with vendors, customers, and other local entrepreneurs. Community involvement**—from hosting events to collaborating with neighboring businesses—creates a sense of belonging and loyalty. Actionable Advice: Get to know your neighbors.** Attend local events, introduce yourself to other business owners, and look for ways to collaborate. Be visible and approachable.** Trent and Lori are often present in their stores, greeting customers and making everyone feel welcome. Revitalizing a Community Space When Trent and Lori purchased the shopping center at 15 Commerce Drive, it was only about 45-50% occupied. Their approach to revitalizing the property offers a blueprint for anyone looking to breathe new life into a commercial space. Steps to Revitalization Invest in Infrastructure    Rehab and Renovate: They invested in updating the units, making them attractive to potential tenants.    Parking Matters: A new, well-lit, and convenient parking lot was a game-changer, especially in a small town where parking is often limited. Curate Your Tenant Mix    Community-Focused Tenants: They sought out businesses that would benefit the community—restaurants, salons, a dance studio, a chiropractic office, and more.    Synergy Between Tenants: The proximity of The Room event space, the escape room, and restaurants allows for seamless event planning and cross-promotion. Create Gathering Spaces    The Room: A 1,700 sq. ft. facility for micro-weddings, parties, concerts, and more. This space is designed to be flexible and accessible for all kinds of community events. Expert Tip:   When revitalizing a property, think beyond just filling vacancies. Ask yourself: How can this space serve the community? Look for tenants and amenities that complement each other and create a destination, not just a collection of businesses. Building a Unique Retail Experience: Inside Great Lakes Antique Boutique Great Lakes Antique Boutique isn't your average antique store. With over 600 vendors across two locations (Grayslake and Antioch), it's a treasure trove that draws shoppers from all over. What Sets It Apart? Sheer Scale and Variety:**     The boutique is deceptively large, with endless nooks and crannies. Customers often spend hours exploring and still find new surprises on a second lap. Constantly Changing Inventory:**     The store is staged and restocked for every season and holiday, ensuring there's always something new to discover. Personal Touch:**     Lori's passion for curating unique clothing and décor shines through. She travels to shows and markets across the country to find one-of-a-kind items. Actionable Tips for Retailers Create a Journey:**     Encourage customers to walk the store in both directions—you'll double their discoveries and time spent in-store. Make It Personal:**     Share stories behind your products. Lori loves hearing customers' memories and connections to the items they find. Offer Something for Everyone:**     From "bougie" upscale finds in Grayslake to farm antiques and a "man cave" in Antioch, the boutiques cater to a wide range of tastes. Creating Versatile Community Spaces: The Room One of the standout features of the shopping center is The Room—a flexible event space that fills a crucial need in Grayslake. Features and Uses Size:** 1,700 sq. ft., seating up to 75 people. Amenities:** Chairs, stage, sound system, and adaptable layout. Events:** Micro-weddings, birthday parties, comedy nights, concerts, art shows, and corporate meetings. Why It Works Convenience:**     The Room is adjacent to restaurants and an escape room, making it easy to plan multi-part events (e.g., a birthday party with food and entertainment all in one place). Community Focus:**     The space is designed for locals to gather, celebrate, and connect. Pro Tip:   If you're considering adding an event space to your business, think about how it can complement your existing tenants and serve unmet needs in your community. Vendor Management and Growth Strategies Managing over 600 vendors is no small feat. Trent and Lori's approach offers valuable lessons for anyone running a multi-vendor retail operation. Key Strategies Start Small, Scale Fast:**     Their first location filled up within days, and they quickly expanded to additional buildings and locations. Maintain a Waiting List:**     Demand for booth space remains high, ensuring a steady pipeline of new vendors and fresh inventory. Vendor Diversity:**     By offering spaces for everything from antiques to new clothing, they attract a broad spectrum of sellers and shoppers. Actionable Advice Foster a Vendor Community:**     Regular communication, collaborative events, and a supportive environment keep vendors engaged and invested in the store's success. Rotate and Refresh:**     Encourage vendors to update their booths regularly to keep the store dynamic and exciting. Seasonal Merchandising and Store Staging One of the boutique's biggest draws is its ever-changing look and feel. Lori and her team spend weeks preparing for each season and holiday, transforming the store into a new experience every time. Best Practices Plan Ahead:**     Start staging for major holidays and events well in advance. Team Effort:**     Involve staff and vendors in the process to bring fresh ideas and energy. Create Visual Impact:**     Use creative displays, themed décor, and strategic product placement to draw customers in and inspire purchases. Why It Matters Repeat Visits:**     Customers return again and again to see what's new, driving loyalty and word-of-mouth. Emotional Connection:**     Seasonal themes tap into nostalgia and celebration, making shopping a memorable experience. Balancing Passion, Family, and Business Trent and Lori's story is also about finding joy and balance in work and life. After long careers in education and the car business, they built a new chapter together—one that combines their love of antiques, travel, and community. Lessons Learned Follow Your Interests:**     Lori's passion for clothing and antiques led to a business that never feels like "just a job." Work as a Team:**     Trent handles the behind-the-scenes fixes and logistics, while Lori curates and connects with customers. Make Time for Each Other:**     Even during their busiest years, they made Sundays their day for antiquing and reconnecting. Advice for Couples in Business Divide and Conquer:**     Play to each other's strengths and communicate openly about roles and responsibilities. Celebrate Small Wins:**     Take time to enjoy the journey and the community you're building together. Actionable Takeaways for Local Entrepreneurs Whether you're running a boutique, managing a shopping center, or dreaming of starting your own business, here are the top lessons from Trent and Lori's journey: Invest in Your Space:**     Clean, well-lit, and accessible facilities attract both tenants and customers. Curate for Community:**     Choose tenants and offerings that serve local needs and create synergy. Keep It Fresh:**     Regularly

What happens when the mental health system is quietly crumbling — and the woman holding it together has been doing so for 25 years? In episode 257 of Joy Found Here, Janelle Miller Moravek, Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling, pulls back the curtain on America's behavioral health crisis — from a shrinking workforce and impossible pay rates to the hidden toll social media is taking on our kids. Hopeful yet eye-opening, this conversation is a reminder that access to mental health care is not a luxury.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(3:54) How a French major stumbled into 25 years of nonprofit leadership(7:49) Why loving your work makes it harder to switch off(10:39) What nonprofit fundraising really looks like(17:47) Why the mental health crisis didn't start with COVID(20:05) The workforce shortage driving therapists out of behavioral healthcare(22:57) How social media is rewiring kids' tolerance for discomfort(30:16) The wrestling mat conversation that led to her son's ADHD diagnosis(36:48) The "atlas" project helping people navigate to the right care(38:22) Why one person getting help creates a community ripple effect(39:30) What Medicaid rollbacks mean for mental health nonprofits in 2026Janelle Miller Moravek is the Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling (YFC), a nonprofit mental health organization serving Lake County in the Chicagoland area. A Wesleyan University graduate, she joined YFC in 2000 as its first-ever development director and has spent over two decades building it into a leading provider of affordable, accessible mental health services — including bilingual care and Medicaid-covered options — for children, teens, adults, and families. In this episode, Janelle Miller Moravek brings 25 years of nonprofit leadership to a candid conversation about the growing gap between mental health need and workforce capacity — tracing the roots to chronically low reimbursement rates, a lengthy therapist training pipeline, and COVID-era burnout. She connects social media's rise to a surge in adolescent mental health struggles, shares a personal story about parenting a son with ADHD that deepened her advocacy, and makes the case for treating behavioral health literacy as common knowledge. She also introduces YFC's "atlas" project — a navigation tool to help people find the right care — while sounding an honest alarm about what Medicaid rollbacks could mean for organizations like hers in 2026.Connect with Janelle Miller Moravek:LinkedInYouth & Family Counseling websiteLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.
