👣 FIP CHALLENGE: Can you find this giant footprint embedded in the concrete somewhere in South Haven, snap a picture comparing your foot to it, and share it in the comments without revealing its location?

🚨 SOUTH HAVEN FIP EXCLUSIVE: THE OTHER LIGHTHOUSE! 🟢🔴

Everybody knows South Haven’s famous red lighthouse on the South Pier. It’s on postcards, T-shirts, coffee mugs, and probably 10,000 Facebook profile pictures.

But has anybody checked on the poor green-and-white lighthouse across the river?

There it stands, at the end of the North Pier, watching the red lighthouse get all the glory.

The red lighthouse has been stealing the spotlight since the 1800s. Meanwhile, the North Pier got its own light in 1949 and has spent the last 77 years being treated like the ugly stepchild of South Haven Harbor.

Think about it.

🔴 Red Lighthouse: Famous landmark. Romantic sunsets. Wedding proposals. Professional photographers.

🟢 Green Lighthouse: “Hey, could somebody at least take my picture?”

And here’s the kicker. When boats come into South Haven Harbor, BOTH lights help guide them safely home.

The red one says, “Welcome to South Haven!”

The green one says, “You’re welcome, jackass.”

So next time you’re walking the South Pier, take a moment to look across the river and give that little green-and-white lighthouse some respect.

It’s been working the same harbor without the fame, the merchandise, or a single influencer asking it to pose.

South Haven FIP officially recognizes the North Pier Light as the hardest-working, least-appreciated lighthouse in town.

And unlike some of us FIPs, it’s actually been here since 1949!

🎤 FIP INCOGNITO: OPEN MIC NIGHT! 🎶

The FIPs have gone undercover at The Groovin Grove!

It’s Open Mic Night, and we’re blending in with the locals… or at least trying to!

Our identities are classified, but the good times aren’t! Even the owner knows who we are, but she’s sworn to secrecy! 🤫

Great music, cold drinks, good friends, and a couple of FIPs hiding in plain sight!

Remember, you can’t spell FIP without IP… and we’re still working on what that means! 😂

💙 South Haven FIP — We’re everywhere. You just don’t know it!

A FIP WINS THE HIDDEN PONDS CHILI COOK-OFF!

That’s right! A FIP walked into the Hidden Ponds RV Resort Chili Cook-Off and walked away with the FIRST PLACE TROPHY!

His secret weapon? BOB’S PULLED PORK!

Must have been the burnt ends!

We’ve blurred his face to protect his identity. Can’t have the locals chasing him down for the secret recipe!

Congratulations to our champion and everyone who participated!

South Haven FIP — We came. We cooked. We conquered!

FIP FLASHBACK — 1985!

Yep, that’s me and my girlfriend (now wife), hanging out on the cliffs overlooking Lake Michigan back in 1985.

Back when we were young, the shoreline looked a little different, and apparently nobody worried too much about sitting on the edge of a cliff!

Who else remembers these days along the lakeshore?

40-plus years later, she’s still putting up with this FIP! 😂
