Pure Michigan Commercial: "Lost and Found"

[LittleMae11]

I'm so grateful to have grown up in Michigan.

[meiningo]

I visited Detroit area a couple of times for work. I just love the city, the sports, the nature and the people. I will keep Michigan forever in my heart. Greetings from Warendorf Germany! Does anyone know the name of the melody? I got to have this!

[daleiden]

@meiningo I believe it's the theme song for Cider House Rules.

[thakkmatic]

@meiningo The music is from "The Cider House Rules" by Rachel Portman.

[twatkins1992]

These are the best commercials ever! I love living in Michigan! Pure simplicity. 

[ssmarilyn]

These commercials and Tim's voice have won us over. We're heading to Michigan this fall!

[jfritz73]

Dnaxx62, I fish the St.Clair river all the time. I can only imagine how much you miss it. You can always retire back here! Good luck!

[dmaxx62]

Had to leave too work ..ended up in Texas...I WANT TO GO HOME ..I lived on the St. Clair river ..I miss the sound of the ships passing in the night..I miss the clean crisp Winter air..I miss the Forests and the Great Lakes..I miss hay rides and Cider Mills in the fall..I miss the joy of a Spring day after a long cold Winter

Traffic and T.V. dinners will be the least of your problems when Rio Tinto gets their Kennecott Eagle Mining operation up and running. Soon after they'll kill all the birds and you won't be able to eat the fish because of acid mine drainage with toxic heavy metals. No more birds - more insects and then it will start to S T I N K ! ! !

Wake up MICHIGAN your greedy government sold out to a British mining company that has a long reputation for destroying the planet!!!

[Dunkleosteus3691]

I hope these videos last forever. I'm 65 - born in Michigan - would never leave, never!

[jasonbentley]

It's like Michigan said, "Yeah...I know you moved to San Francisco. And you had good reason. But, ya know...I'm still here when ya need me." And that's good to know.

[toolmanw900l]

does anybody know where the area at 0:08 is?

[michlover66]

@toolmanw900l

Probably the shore of Lake Superior.

[swenger27a]

@toolmanw900l it is Lake Superior most beautiful lake of them all. Heading there this weekend:)

[ctownize]

although im from cleveland, oh and hate that state up north with a passion, i must say that when i visited my buddies cabin in the upper peninsula near mackinaw, it was the most beautiful place ive ever been to in my life, the scenary was just breathtaking.

[defleplady]

i absolutely love this ad campaign..

the footage..the glorious music from rachel portman..

but mostly the message about slowing down..

priorities...backing up from the harried hectic life we all

seem lost in.

souls lost...yearning to be found...in a simpler way of life.

simple beauty.

whoever put these ads together is a genius and totally in touch with

the yearning of the 21st century person.

[Marisssa96]

these type of things, the simple things, make me proud to say that i live in michigan, and michigan, no matter what, will ALWAYS be the place i call home:)

[kitty201017]

oh get over it...he wasnt making it out to be a personal attack on you.

[markdodge126]

I left Port Huron Michigan and moved to Missouri for work...but Michigan is in my soul..and my heart breaks everyday wanting to move back and spend my life there..there is no place like it that i have seen...alot of nature and water and old fashioned areas...not over developed or bare like other states..just too bad there isnt jobs there right now :(

[TheGbergh]

I moved here from Denver and I just love Michigan, you natives really do take it for granted, I will never leave here, there is a calmness to the beauty here unlike anywhere else, beautiful state.

[modernmarvel]

Go MI!  It is one of the top 3 Agricultural States!

[bkracer82]

I love this State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[umdet]

great display of Michigan's natural wonders, especially the Lake Superior images.

The Michigan shorelines are the midwest's highlights.

[annaleighclark]

I grew up on a Lake Michigan beach and completely took it for granted. I was actually a little disappointed when I first saw an ocean. Lake Michigan, my god-- its fantastic. Nothing compares.

[ragtimematt]

I know exactly what you mean!  Twice I have found the ocean to be a singularly underwhelming experience.

[x0emax0]

I used to visit Traverse City all the time when i lived in MI. Ever since these commercials have been on i miss it more and more.

[Sundevilhp29]

I couldnt agree with you more. Doesnt it make you wonder how you could ever leave? I wanna go home!

[xasraix]

these commercials make me homesick.......love them even more

[djtoby44]

Michigan is a GEM. Tim Allen has the voice that can lure even those of us who live in Michigan to visit Michigan sites over and over again. I love these commercials. I love Michigan.

[alliterati1]

@djtoby44 Agreed! 

[sweatintotheoldies]

Mr Allen, this is a vocal masterpiece. You're to be commended. I am in love with each and every commercial your voice has graced. Thank you.

[motorztv]

Tim Allen!  I love it!

[klorn1]

Ohio is better.

[kazmaniandevil05]

uggghhh...how can you even say that? ohio is the epitome of a drive-thru state. I consider ohio michigan's bathroom (it's even shaped like one and positioned as such).

[auntbecky]

Look, I love Michigan deeply, no other place beats is as far as I am concerned. However, I do think that you do not need to insult someone else's home state.

[tamcon72]

@kazmaniandevil05

I love Michigan with all my heart and soul, but your snipe at Ohio is really uncalled for. I've been to some really beautiful places in Ohio, and only someone who hasn't really been there would write what you did. For ages, people have dismissed Michigan the same way. If it's not fair to us, then it's not fair to Ohio.

Awesome ad, needless to say!

[robi2000]

@tamcon72 good point. My brother lives in ohio.  We drove back from his place down to Kentucky a few years ago and I was amazed at the natural beauty of Ohio landscape, over and over for miles. This whole country is stunning, surely Michigan is also.

[IHeartTheClique1223]

These are the best!

[gafftaper89]

I've seen a majority of those lights, awesome.

[bkracer82]

I love these!
