    • 1988 October 7, Hank De Zutter, Pamela Little De Zutter, “Invasion of the FIPs: boom time in southwestern Michigan”, in Chicago Reader[1]:
      [] the threat of lopsided, uncontrolled overdevelopment seems distant to many--local residents and Chicagoans alike--who regard the rediscovery of the area as a welcome return to its heyday in the 1930s and '40s, when even more Chicago families spent their summers here.
