Sea Shell City
Sea Shell City is a decades-old souvenir shop in the northern portion of the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan, just outside of Cheboygan. This store sells a lot of sea shells and souvenirs that theme Mackinac and surrounding districts. The large number of distinctively painted billboards for this store on I-75 claim that it contains "rarest oddities of Davy Jones' oldies".
Sea Shell City also contains a replica of the world famous "Man [...] Clam". It is a cast of a clam that was accidentally dropped on a person. The clam, being extremely heavy, crushed his lungs and killed him. Ever since, the clam has been regarded as "man [...]".
This store also has convenient access because it is near a junction for county designated highway C-66 on I-75.
Contrary to popular belief, Sea Shell City is actually a town as well as the tourist attraction.
