7 of The Most Irish Cities in Michigan

An old Irish proverb says, “There are only two kinds of people in the world, the Irish and those who wish they were.” Such a true statement, especially in America on St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone is Irish on March 17th, or at least claims to be. In reality, only a handful of places across the country can actually claim to be true Irish cities, and just a few in Michigan. These cities are all about the Luck of the Irish in more ways than one.
