Grew up a few ghost towns away-Hersey. My Father-in-law's family ran a beverage business and delivered to the clubs. He said the ladies practicing their dancing used to tease him since he was a white kid helping his Dad. As a nurse aide I met an elderly lady who lived there in its heyday.

No way, I used to go to that school from 1997-2003! All of my sisters attended there from pre-school to the 5th grade. I've always wondered what was in that second hallway on the 2nd floor. At the time when I was there, we weren't allowed in there due to construction of that extended area.

The home of the founder of Winston was not the place you showed. In truth, it is still occupied and is both large and ornate for the era in which it was built. Other than that, interesting footage to see as I've relations living near there and some buried too in the cemetery south of Chloride.

I grew up in Manistee and had heard a lot about Idlewild. A few years ago, a friend and I drove out there to see what it looked like after its heyday. When I lived in Chicago, there was a big buzz about a group of business owners had joined financial forces to bring Idlewild back to life. Unfortunately, they ran out of money after putting a visitor center and museum there. We also noted that there are a few houses that are inhabited, but the majority were not - urban decay had been settling there for a long time. The streets were laid out in a precise grid - I had no idea that it was so big. There is talk again about revitalizing the area - and I hope that this time, it is successful in its endeavor. So much history is there, and the stories need to be kept alive for future generations. Great video - thank you so very much. 😊

The Coaling Station was still in use as late as 1953/54. Yes, Steam Locomotives were still pulling freight in the early 1950's, Diesel's were already in use, but they had not entirely taken over from the Steam Engine. In Jan. of 1961 just before I left Mich. City for the U.S. Army I saw several Steam Engines sitting on side tracks at the old New Buffalo, Mich. Roundhouse near the corner of Hwy. 39 & Wilson Rd. on the Wilson Rd. side waiting to be scrapped. When I returned from Germany in June of 1963 they were all gone.
