New Michigan Restaurant Will Feature Live Sharks

It's always exciting when a local restaurant pops up. Who doesn't love homegrown, real food, right? Now, add to that a new local restaurant with a fish tank that includes real, live sharks. Wow. Just, wow.

I never would have thought of the shark and restaurant combination. But, if you're looking to add some excitement to dinner, this could do the trick.

The new restaurant is proposed for the the corner of Commerce and Main Street in Milford, Michigan. According to Hometown Life, plans to add to the Milford House restaurant building at 113 E. Commerce were recently submitted to the village.

"Those plans include a 2,080-foot addition to the front of the restaurant, which would wrap around the front of the building near the current outdoor patio," Hometown Life states. "But the most unique feature will be a 20,000-gallon fish tank that is expected to hold several live sharks as a focal point inside the dining room of the restaurant."

As for that fish tank, it's already here. "We already have the tank that's been brought up. The fish are waiting for us in Key West, Florida," architect John Stewart told Hometown Life. "It'll be quite a scene when you see these things."

Much of the restaurant is planned to be family-friendly. There will also be a wine bar area for a more adult atmosphere. I seriously can't imagine going out for the night and hitting a bar with live sharks starting at me, but it does sound kind of cool. For more information, go here.

If you're curious which cities in Michigan have residents with the highest median household income, we have the list for you. It's surprising how much median household income differs from one city to the next. For example, the highest median household income in Michigan is $108,432.33, and the lowest is $11,667. I guess that just goes to show how diverse Michigan is demographically and how some areas of the state have a higher cost of living.

The crew at Zip Atlas has published an updated list of those median household incomes using a variety of data. The site offers a "structured collection of zip code, area code, city and state demographic, social and economic profiles," according to their official website. They add, "Here you will find employment and unemployment rates, industry statistics, household and personal income reports, property value assessment, housing unit occupancy and vacancy breakdown, mortgage and rent analysis, age, gender, ancestry and racial profiles, education attainment levels and school enrolment among many others." In other words, they've complied a range of data in different areas in one locale, including what Michiganders across the state are bringing home in their paychecks.

According to the Zip Atlas study, none of the top 10 cities in the U.S. with the highest median household income are located in Michigan. No. 1 is Short hills, New Jersey, at $185,466, followed by Purchase, New York and Villa Maria, Pennsylvania. In fact, Michigan doesn't even have one city in the top 100 cities in the U.S. That said, Michigan does have some cities that fall inside the top 200 and 300 cities with the highest tally.

So, which Michigan cities have the highest median household incomes? View the list of cities below all the way up to No. 1, and see if your city made the cut. For more information, visit the Zip Atlas website here.
