I saw this old shack somewhere near Twining. I don’t have a story to go with it so I will take a moment to say thank you for taking the time from your busy day to read my posts. I hope you enjoy getting my emails, and I do my best to post stuff you
I have seen pics of the pigeon barn on the internet, but I never knew where it was located. Logic would dictate that it would be near Pigeon, but I saw it as I was leaving Port Austin. I figured I better stop and get a pic of it before the pigeon flies away. I

Thank you for following me. I wanted to give you all some candy, but that would be a little difficult. Instead, I am giving away a copy of Volume 2. post a comment on what your favorite candy is. Mine was taffy from the taffy store in Charlevoix, until it pulled the crown off my
Narcissa Paige the owner of the Paige House hotel in St. Louis, built this mansion in 1884. Her contractor, Mr. Leach, built Col. Elwell’s “castle” down Delaware Street at the same time. you can see my post about it HERE I read somewhere that the tower on the house was built so Narcissa could see
John Hirst built this extravagant hotel in 1891, and with over 25 trains a day stopping in the town of Holly where it still stands today it must have been a busy place. It was known as the Hirst Hotel until he sold it to Joseph P. Allen in 1912 who renamed it the Holly
