COLLECTORS FOUNDATION

TRAVERSE CITY, MI

Trattoria Stella with Joan As usual, we ate what we considered my Official Birthday Supper (a week late) at Trattoria Stella at Grand Traverse Commons, what once was the Traverse City State Hospital. The food's locally sourced and the menu changes constantly. Eating there's an interesting experience in all sorts of ways, and the meal is usually excellent. The Minervini Group has been restoring and repurposing the state hospital's buildings for a couple decades, now. Since we visit the town regularly, we've been watching that project while exploring the former asylum's grounds. We used to eat at Stella actually on my birthday, but Traverse City Restaurant Week has made that unrealistic. Now we show up a few days later and avoid the crowds.

Robert P. Griffin Hall of Justice Since I had my camera in hand, I pointed it at another courthouse that was visible from the same window of our room at Park Place. This building's windows are opaque during daylight hours. After dark, not so much. The wing on the left was originally a Congregational church; that on the right was Presbyterian. The combined architecture makes for a really interesting structure.
The Clock Tower The Grand Traverse County Courthouse was visible from our room on the seventh floor of the Park Place Hotel. So I grabbed my camera and grabbed this photograph just after sunset last Thursday.
St. Joseph Catholic Church Last week Tuesday we headed up the Old Mission peninsula to visit the lighthouse. We mostly headed north on the east edge of the peninsula and returned on the western side. We drove by the old mission site and took a few pix at the lighthouse park. Along the way we found this gorgeous church. That set us on a mission to photograph some churches and crosses for my sister, who uses photos of crosses to focus her annual series of Lenten meditations on Facebook, which she calls "Journey to the Cross."
Porch and Fence Another photo from our wander around Elk Rapids last week. 'Twas the fence that first caught my attention, but that porch makes this image work.
Harbor Antiques Last Wednesday we wandered around Elk Rapids for a bit. Along the way we had a chat with a lady who may well have been president of the local Chamber of Commerce; she <i>really</i> wanted us to try one of the local restaurants.
WTCM Of course we wandered around downtown Traverse City a bit last week.
Chandelier In the lobby at Park Place Hotel, Traverse City.
Lights on State Street A view from our window at Park Place Hotel in Traverse City.
Inside Harrington's We’ve definitely seen the place busier. That turned out to be a recurring theme for the week.
