I came across an old structure in the quaint town of Sears, which is situated at the intersection of US-10 and M-66 in the heart of the Lower Peninsula. Initially, the town was called Orient, named after the township it belonged to. However, after the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad established a depot there in 1870, the town was renamed Sears in honor of a railroad surveyor.
Nowadays, the train no longer makes stops in this small town, and only a few houses and a Post Office remain.
P.S. I just assumed the town was named after for Sears and Roebuck but like many other things I assumed, I was incorrect.
