Shoving Match

(Weekend rerun from last spring)

Lake Michigan is at it again. Lashing out with its typical destructive force against the very people who for some reason choose to live on its shores. This massive ice shove damaged seawalls, homes, landscaping, and boats. It’s Lake Michigan’s way of saying “why on earth would you want to vacation near me?” This big bully shoved it’s ice in anger, and yet people continue to debate the merits of this violent animal over the merits of my tamer, more beautiful Geneva? Please. Worst yet, this isn’t the first time this sort of thing has happened in Michigan. Lake Michigan, please take your medication.

Lake Geneva Ice Shove

To be fair, Geneva can be violent at times, but I assure you, violent is a relative term. Need proof? Consider the devastation of the ever powerful Geneva Lake. Just look at that ice shove. Amazing, I know. Next time you get some silly idea about buying a home on the other side of the angry green pond, just remember which body of water is more likely to devour your home in a glacier.

Lake Geneva 1,208,404. Michigan 0.

About the Author

I'm David Curry. I write this blog to educate and entertain those who subscribe to the theory that Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is indeed the center of the real estate universe. When I started selling real estate 27 years ago I did so of a desire to one day dominate the activity in the Lake Geneva vacation home market. With over $800,000,000 in sales since January of 2010, that goal is within reach. If I can help you with your Lake Geneva real estate needs, please consider me at your service. Thanks for reading.
