Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Rogers City, located in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan, USA, is the county seat of Presque Isle County, and sits on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, a natural deep-water port, and is an important fishing and shipping center in the state.

In addition to its industrial heritage, Rogers City is known for its breathtaking lake views and outdoor activities, and is surrounded by Miguel State Park and Presque Isle Point Lighthouse, which attracts fishing, boating and nature lovers.
