I was looking for something else on a map and stumbled upon the fact that I was under a mile away from this today:
I looked it up and it’s a place called F T Techno of America LLC. They’re proving grounds for the two big Michigan universities, for one thing. Has anyone else heard of them or what they do? It would be conveniently close for me if they DID happen to do road courses there!
incidentally, there’s a really cool sunflower field half a mile to the south on Mason road, just east of Fowlerville Rd there at Munsell Farms.
Huh. I've lived in Livingston County my whole life and I've never heard of this place.

Well hey neighbor. And FWIW they didn’t have any job openings there. Poop :)

Yeah I read all that but marketing-speak isn’t always very translucent
