Chelsea and Ypsi

Thank you for your photos and commentary on Chelsea and Ypsi. I left MI 28 years ago and spent many enjoyable days in those towns. One of my prized posessions is an antique trunk purchased in Depot Town in the early 1970's. You missed photos of Ypsi's resident symbol of manhood, in the middle of a street, as I recall.

A suggestion for future columns: Milan and the Irish Hills area, including Brooklyn. My grandfather had a cottage in the Irish Hills and I rememeber visiting Brooklyn as a young boy and recall it being a quintessential Midwest farming town.

Depending on how much time you have, continue west to Jackson.......
