3Where are we?
Michigan is surrounded by five Great Lakes that
contain the largest amount of fresh water any
where in the world! We told you it was the best!
Michigan has two peninsulas. An upper and lower
peninsula. We live in the lower peninsula. We
call it the mitten.
We live here, in Novi, Michigan--ten miles
north-west of Detroit, Michigans largest city.
4Novi, Michigan
Novi is believed to have been first settled in
1825, 12 years before Michigan became a state.
5- Novi is relatively flat, with low, rolling hills
along the blue line.
- Thats because the glaciers stopped at that line
during the last ice age.
6Novi, Michigan
- The City of Novi is 31.6 square miles.
- Getting around Novi is fairly easy, as all major
east west roads are numbered and exactly one
mile apart. - 8 Mile Road is the southern border of the city.
14 Mile Road is the northern border. - Major north-south routes are also one mile apart.

7Shopping Heaven!
- The largest building project in the Citys
history was completed in 1977 with the opening of
the Twelve Oaks Mall. It is the largest mall in
Michigan. There are several other shopping plazas
in the city, as well as three large outdoor malls
near Twelve Oaks.
