Latitudes Market and Little Scandinavia mark entrance to Bluffton, Muskegon MI, Mile 26268.

I have to admire the young man who's been painting bicycles and placing them at important places around Muskegon. This bicycle by the Bluffton sign is rather clever. it is rigged with christmas lights and has a solar cell to feed those Christmas lights. The cell probably knows when it's daylight and when it's dark. I came to Latitudes Market for lunch and I had a pastie. I believe they're made in the kitchens of the Cherokee Diner. There are inexpensive, easy to eat, easy to order without fuss. I call this Little Scandinavia because it's home too Hagar's  Hideaway, the Vikings Lodge and Jensen Fisheries. Let us not forget Torresen's Marina and sailboat enterprises. Buster Keaton and his family lived in the Bluffton enclave back in the early part of the 20th century, a facd celebrated with an annual convention. I'll be the first to say that the Wilbo liked this area very much and took comfort visiting the Bluffton area. That's hardly the stuff of literary legend. Yet.
