It's not too often that you look out your car window and see some buffalo on your commute through Genesee County, MI. However, that is exactly what is causing some drivers to look twice while traveling down Dort Highway in Grand Blanc.

I drive that stretch of road every day and didn't realize the animals out there were buffalo. After a quick glance, I just assumed they were cows in the field. It wasn't until yesterday when a friend reached out to tell me about them that I realized what they were.

The next question that entered my head was, why are there buffalo out there? I honestly can't answer why with any certainty, but I can say what I've heard through the grapevine and rumor mill. From what I heard, someone had intentions of purchasing or did purchase the old Grand Blanc Inn building in hopes to have a restaurant with wild game on the menu. I also heard that the idea was shot down by the township.

Again, I have no idea how much, if any of that is true. It would be cool to have a restaurant like that though. Who is in the know and actually knows what is going on? I would really like to know the details.
