Workers are busy setting up the tents and such in the spring rain and drizzle. According to the weather channel, things should clear up a bit tomorrow.
I’m really looking forward to this year’s event. There should be some great exhibits.

Last year the first of what may become an annual event, Plymouth’s Green Street Fair, will happen again this coming weekend, May 1, 2 and 3.

I’ve enjoyed just about every fair or festival that has come to town since we moved here 3 1/2 years ago. I can’t [...]

Yesterday I checked three excellent books on Plymouth history from the library (more about the books later.) In just thumbing through them I was surprised at how many historical buildings in Plymouth have burned to the ground over the years.
We all know that homes and buildings in the past weren’t built or maintained with the [...]
The Bonafide Garage

I’m no historian but I was recently asked to identify the location of a business that was once known as the Bonafide Garage, which was at one point (early 1900s) owned by a W. J. Beyer. (The question was raised in the “About” section of my blog, if you wish to look.) Here is a [...]

It’s that time of the year again. It’s the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Our hometown hero — he lives on Penniman — Chris Osgood helped our Detroit Red Wings get off to a great start in these playoffs. The Wings beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 last night in the first game of [...]
Slow week

I haven’t had much of a chance to get out and take photos, which was one of my goals this spring. I also am not aware of anything particularly exciting or noteworthy happening in or around town, at least nothing out of the ordinary.
The weather’s beautiful, but short of that I feel like there’s not [...]

I’ve wrestled with a name change for this blog for months. This blog is pretty special to me. I really, really enjoy it. But the name doesn’t fit my personality. Maybe others like it, but it seems kind of stiff. It sounds like a magazine title, and a not too unique or interesting magazine at [...]
Happy Easter

Easter is a special day for many of us. Regardless of how (or why) you celebrate the holiday, I sincerely hope it is wonderful.
My favorite hymn is “Amazing Grace” and my favorite way it is played is on the bagpipes. I get a lump in my throat everytime. Enjoy.

I’ve written about this issue several times in the past, so no need to rehash the background.
By way of update, I received an email today regarding a fundraiser to save the Veterans Memorial Park wall, the original stone and mortar wall erected shortly after World War I. If you are interested in this issue, please [...]
