@@turtlegrl1749 Thank you for watching. This Halloween season should provide great content. 🤠

@user-gn7ix4in5w Yep. Just this morning 9-4-2024 There will be more. They pass through here almost daily. There's two bigger bucks that I will video and post ASAP. Thanks for watching. 🤠🇺🇸

@shannonnanninga6832 It could very well be. In Mountian Home cemetery here in Kalamazoo there are several graves of Spanish flu victims. Thanks for watching. 🤠🇺🇸

I always wondered about that. I saw an old street car was attached to the building. It did look like alot of restoration had been going on. Do you know if they were open?

​@@walking_history Restoration has been going on for years. I think they were going to call it The Mule house.The husband and wife who own it, Sean and Amy, also own the Old Dog Tavern just a few buildings over. The old Star Paper Co. on Kalamazoo Ave.

@@mowmanjones3353 Thank you very much. Thanks for watching. 🤠🇺🇸

@@brucecase9681 Absolutely true. 🤠🇺🇸

@gtwfan52 Nope. It's I-94 and Portage street in front of the Kalamazoo airport. Alot is going on up by Wings on Sprinkle road. So much I can barely keep track.

@mowmanjones3353 I never look down. I only report the facts. I, too, know very much how hard times can be. I did just over a 6 spot in a 6x9 as a guest of the MDOC. I wished I had a motel room to call home. Yes man. I know. 🤠🇺🇸

@matthewpresgrave7604 That buck fever got to me so bad I can't even count straight. Lol. Thanks Matthew. 🤠

@@bettertvreceptionwithfoilf7100 I saved my lawn mowing money and bought a new Raleigh 10 speed from him in about 1970. $69.00 plus 4% tax. It was one of the three best bikes I've owned. The other two were a Nishiki road bike and a Univega mountain bike. 🤠🇺🇸

@@walking_history that's funny LOL my dad got my first bike for me and put it together at the guard base for some government work LOL and I traded it originally to Earl for a Raleigh three-speed, made in England, with odd-looking wheel cranks, and I absolutely loved that bike! So yeah, my first brand new bike was from Kalamazoo Bike Shop and Earl sold it to my Dad. I must have been about 9 or 10 years old? Right round 1968.

@bonniezimlich1403 Thanks Bonnie, I know very little about Three Rivers except how busy the downtown area was in the 60s and 70s. I need to get back down there and take a picture of the old movie theater downtown.

@@walking_history that would be the rivera it has been remodeled into a bar restaurant show venue and is very nice. Another nice place is Lowry's book store on main street so many places are now gone on the Michigan corridor. They have turned the old community center library into a court house and the old first national bank on main street is now the library. I've lived in this area my whole life. I was born in the old three rivers hospital as were both my daughters. It has just been demolished in the last year. Lots of history around here.

@@bonniezimlich1403 I knew the three rivers hospital administrator from about 2008. Matthew Chambers.

@@walking_history nice I was born there in 1950 my oldest daughter was 1970 and had the same dr that delivered me my youngest was born there in 1981. It was sad to see it gone now.

@stigfloberghagenphotography Thank you very much and thanks for watching. 🤠🇺🇸

@@walking_history 👍🙂

@bettertvreceptionwithfoilf7100 The winter snowplow targets at taxpayers' expense. 🤠

@bettertvreceptionwithfoilf7100 I know the three homes that burned together were owned by the church next door. This last home to burn was already condemned. Homeless had been coming in and out for quite a while. There is a home that was raised on the corner you can see in my video too. It burned a while back. The home that is left standing is still occupied. If someone doesn't claim the properties / abandoned/ etc, the city of Kalamazoo gains ownership. That's the last I knew, but who knows. That may have changed too. Thanks for your comment and for watching. 🤠

@marydutch I was never able to get tickets. I was stationed at Ray Barracks in Friedberg Germany where Elvis served. He was, of course, gone by then but certainly not his memory.

Thanks for your service Edward! It's to bad you were never able to see him,not only was he a great entetainer,but a great man with many accomplishments.

The dumpsters are overflowing again now that it's WMU move in week. The apartments around the campus too. Probably 5,000 empty computer and T.V. boxs. Lol 🤠🇺🇸

@melissabailey4397 There was nobody hurt. Thanks for asking. Thank you for watching my humble channel. 🤠

I rode my bicycle down Grant Street only once. About killed me. Lol

Good question. It was a little open semi wooded area when the pioneers settled the area in the 1830s. The village was started and most of the homes built a half mile further north of the cemetery area. By the 1840 many locals had been buried there. It was converted to a park in 1884 with many of the graves remaining in the stones just laid flat upon them and covered up with Earth. I did a video about that earlier it. It would be great if you took a look at that video. Thanks for watching. 🤠
