A couple of things not closing in Kalamazoo - Cookies was open today after a long time away, and people seemed to be pretty excited about that.

And Oceanhouse Fish & Chicken is taking over the old Little Caesar's on North Park Street.

Both in the Northside; seen during my lunchtime walk on September 3, 2026.

Three floors up the foyer in Grand Rapids.

I was there, but I'm not sure where "there" was - I didn't drive. Just took pictures.

Definitely worth checking out!

Hello Friends!

Join the Friends of Kalamazoo Historic Cemeteries for our second annual Living History Tour of Mountain Home Cemetery on Saturday, September 19, 2026, located at 1402 W. Main Street, Kalamazoo!

As previously announced, this year’s tour will feature six new historic residents of Mountain Home Cemetery. We are also pleased to announce that the 1878 Gothic style Receiving Vault will be open for tour participants for the first time. Additionally, a host will be on site to explain the building’s history and to answer your questions.

Also new this year, a golf cart will be available to chauffer those who might need a little assistance in ascending the hill to our next stop on the tour.

Tours begin at 1:00 pm and will continue each half hour through 4:00 pm and will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 (children under 10 are free) and tour times may be selected and purchased in advance through the FKHC website: www.friendsofkalamazoohistoriccemeteries.com/events/livinghistory-tours-3.

Be sure to visit the site soon as the most popular tour times sell out quickly.

Rain or shine bring your walking shoes and travel back in time with us!

Hope to see you there!
