Sunflowers and Silos in Shiawassee

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Barns and Farms .

I was at the Shiawassee Fairgrounds recently for my son’s cross country meet and standing at the entrance to the fairgrounds was this old silo surrounded by sunflowers. I am a city boy and no expert on silos or farms but I know that the silos built with the square brown tiles are old. I looked it up on the internets and from what I found the silos of this type built from the 1900s to the 1930s so this old silo must be about 100 years old. It’s what remained of the farm that once stood where the fairgrounds are today.

I also stopped and got a dam pic in Corunna but that’s a post for another day.

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in calendars .

The 2018 Lost In Michigan Wall Calendars are now in stock and on sale this week. They are the lowest price of the season for those of you who order early. Last year I sold out of them by the middle of December. Thank you so much to everyone who got one last year, I hope you will get one this year, they help me with expenses to do my website. And yes they are proudly made in Michigan right here in my hometown of Saginaw.  You can order yours before they are gone HERE 

 

I can’t thank all of you enough for following me on my journey thru Michigan for all your support and kind comments. If you are wondering, I am still working on my book. It’s taking a little longer than I thought to publish a book but I hope to have it out by the end of September.

The Old Store In West Branch

Posted on August 4, 2017 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Iconic Buildings .

I stopped in West Branch recently and like I normally do, I get off I-75 on one exit and drive thru town and get back on the other exit.  Just south of Downtown I noticed this old closed up gas station party store that was for sale. I could not help but noticed the woodwork on the building and it got me wondering what this place was originally. It looks like it was converted to a store, but I think it was a house or something before that. It kinda looks like an old fire station, and if you have followed my posts for a while you know I love old fire stations.

Michigan’s Top Attractions

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Uncategorized .

 

USA Today bestowed upon me the title of  “Michigan Expert.”  I am not sure about that but it was an honor to be asked and help them pick the nominations for their list of Michigan’s top attractions. If you want to see the list and vote for your favorite for the USA Today Top 10, you can click on the link HERE

It’s hard for me to pick a favorite, they are all iconic places in Michigan, but I have to show some love to the Thumb and go with Port Crescent State Park in Port Austin.
