Port Huron is a city of both beginnings and ends. It is located on the easternmost section of land in Michigan, directly on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River, where the lake drains into the mouth of the river. Two main US interstates interchange in Port Huron - I-69 from the west, and I-94 from the southwest. The boundaries of Michigan, too, end in Port Huron, with the Blue Water Bridge connecting it and Sarnia, Ontario. The city’s atmosphere reflects this duality of start and end, with a painfully human heart, its inhabitants both broken and healing. There is a general kindness in Port Huron, with small smiles from passersby and quiet, domestic conversations with people you’ve never met. All the while, refineries burn across the river and mental heath awareness billboards line the roads. It is both kind and harsh, beautiful and ugly, fantastic and banal.
