Help Us Write a Visitor's Guide to Rochester and Rochester Hills
We love day trips, and we think the Rochester area would be a great daytrip destination. Help us write a guide to share with other Patch sites in Michigan.

Quick: a long-lost friend is coming to the Rochester area and has asked you for some things-to-do and places-to-eat-and-shop suggestions.
What do you tell him?
We're writing a daytrip guide to Rochester and Rochester Hills for a summer series called Patch Passport. The other Patch sites in Michigan — from New Baltimore to Saline and two dozen in between — are doing the same.
Starting next weekend, we'll offer up a weekly daytrip guide to another southeast Michigan town for you to visit. Bet you didn't know, for instance, about all of the unique, locally owned shops in St. Clair Shores? (The Whistle Stop Hobby Shop, for instance, is a locally owned toy store with an elevated train track that runs, nonstop, the inside perimeter of the store.)
There are more gems to be discovered, too.
But to start, we need to write our own daytrip guide to share with the other Patch sites.
So, it's time to share your must-list in Rochester and Rochester Hills: Where would you take a visitor to our towns?
