Bayside Gallery — Attraction in Suttons Bay Township

Once an explosion of "wow", this place is slowly turning into a run-of-the-mill Michigan garden center and gift shop. Simply selling off the unique glass and metal art inventory of the old owners and replacing the stock with baskets, cheaply painted metal garden art and rocks.
