Walled Lake, City of the Week

WCSX thanks Laura and The Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce for a warm welcome to Walled Lake!!!

This week Ryan from Big Jim's House joined City of the Week!  Here's what Ryan had to say about his adventures in Walled Lake:

Alright, I know I talk about my hometown of Wixom a lot on the show, but not many people know that Wixom and Walled Lake go hand in hand. Growing up in the area, I loved everything about it and was honored to return with City of the Week! There was a rush of old and new memories that came right back to me.

When I first moved came to the city, there were a few stoplights and that was it. Now it's an amazing spot to spend a day with the family. From great restaurants and great entertainment, there is always something going on.

The lake is the main focus and you can see that with the updated beach and family fun area right on the water. I love that the city has been able to keep that great small-town feel while making it a fun place to hang and have a ton of fun.

WHERE DID WE GO IN WALLED LAKE?

First, we went to Pedego, an electric bike company. I jumped on one of their rentals and man, what a fun way to make your way around the town. Second, we headed over to Eddie at Eddie's Walled Lake Liquor store. Eddie is an amazing ambassador for the city and even took us out on his boat!

After that, we made our way over to The Greenhouse, another new business that has embraced the city of Walled Lake. Joel then made his way to Copper Mug. If you're from the area, you have had a beer and a burger from Copper Mug.

Overall, the trip back to my second hometown was amazing! The people the places, everything is great!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
