Tis March and St. Patty's Day is around the corner. Are you feeling the luck "o" the Irish? Let's look at the most Irish towns in Michigan.

There are things that I associate with the term "Irish".

I think about my mom who passed away when I was 5. She had a lot of Irish blood and had the red hair and fair skin to prove it. Red hair and fair skin, that's Irish, so I thought. I also think about St. Patrick's Day. How can you not? Although I celebrated St. Patty's Day for many years, it was only to drink and party and get my fill of green beer.

As it turns out, there is a strong Irish presence in Michigan. Here are some cool facts from Irish folk, about Irish folk, from Ireland Before You Die that I didn't know:

We consume approximately 131.1 litres of beer a year.

The tallest identical twins ever, the Knipe Brothers, were born in Derry, standing at 2.12 metres (7ft 2”) tall.

More Irish people are living abroad than in Ireland.

One of U2’s first tastes of success was winning a talent show in Limerick in 1978 on the day of our patron saint, St Patrick’s Day.

The Irish hold the Guinness World Record for most cookies baked in one hour.

We don’t consume the most Guinness in the world, England does.

Only 9% of the country are natural redheads.

The final stat was informative for me. I thought there would be a lot more people that are natural redheads. Irish food is pretty good and if there is a strong Irish population in a certain area, odds are the food is pretty good. Zip Atlas breaks down the "Irish" in citites in Michigan.
