Looks like Mason County is a cultural backwater. A desert lacking access to higher education.

Whereas Oceana is bastion of education with 15 colleges within striking distance for it's residents.

That's why we created an education oasis at the intersection of Ludington and Torch, with a promise of free tuition and priceless information.

Doesn't make a lot of sense when one can live right across the street from WSCC in Mason County and be declared to be in an education desert.  Interesting concept, odd definition, but more meaningful would have been to color code a Michigan map by showing ranges of distances away from the nearest college/university to represent education deserts rather than declare a whole county a desert because you only have one university.

Shinblind. The link you posted doesn't have any information that I can see about Mason or Oceana County deserts, or is it desserts. If I remember correctly Ludville holds one of the longest dessert records in the World for a sundae of all things. Of course it's not high brow like a cultural revolution or the liberal, lefitst agenda being forced down the minds of the newer thinkers of the Counties. The same ones who are trying to save the ice in order to save the polar bears who eat the tourists that wander near them. The only culture anywhere north of Grand Rapids is in the yogurt and cheese we eat here which is delivered from Grand Rapids.

LUDINGTON'S VERSION OF HIGH BROW

Funny Willy! Especially the culture north of Grand Rapids! Those eyebrows remind of some people confusing culture with fake eyelashes and flaunting flashy cars. I'd rather have the culture of livng with chickens than pretend to be a big city socialite do-gooder lying behind corruption.

I agree Freedom Seeker. That has been a big problem here. Big City transplants who think they know it all and want to change everything. As far as I'm concerned, give me the lumber days.

It may just be a good thing to be in an educational  desert.
