Supposedly, Midland Blooms wants to plant marijuana plants alongside Eastman Road in 2020. At least, that\u2019s what the satirical news publication the Midland Gazette states as facts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, Midland Blooms isn\u2019t actually planting marijuana. However, it is slightly comical to think about the possibility. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Midland Gazette is a Facebook-only satirical news magazine that covers Midland, Michigan, and was created solely for entertainment purposes. The page was started on Oct. 12, and since its inception has gained over 3,500 followers on Facebook, with other positive community reception. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worst new source in Midland, MI.<\/p>Midland Gazette Representative<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

An anonymous Midland Gazette representative enjoys being a part of the staff, and thought that there were plenty of opportunities for satire in the Midland community. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of fun,\u201d the representative said. \u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed reading articles from the Onion and Babylon Bee, and figured there were plenty of local issues ripe for satire in our own community.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Midland Gazette representative stated that they want to keep writing for the satire publication as long as it doesn\u2019t feel like work, and that it doesn\u2019t involve any sort of paycheck, it\u2019s just for entertainment purposes. As of Jan. 13, 2020, the publication currently has a total of about 50 articles on its Facebook page, and continues to grow. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
