ELSIE LIBRARY HISTORICAL ASSN

ELSIE, MI

The crow that eats breakfast sandwiches Sitting in the middle of the street was what looked like a fast food bag. The crow lands, investigates, then proceeds to grip the bottom of the bag with his beak and tip it upside down. What looks like two bright yellow wrapped shapes slide onto the street where he grips one edge to unwrap it, push off the top (shown here), take the filling (cheese square on a sausage patty?) and fly a short distance away to find out if the filling is to his taste. A gust of wind blows the wrappers and bag away, leaving only the discarded top for the photo. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.

Lettering, names, and weathering all point to the 1970s How different the economy, cost of living, and daily preoccupations and aspirations then versus now. Seeing this time traveler from a business long gone hearkens back to world and local events from about 50 years ago. The street name is Railroad Street, but the last passenger service ended in the early 1970s and the final freight train was later in the 1980s. By the early 2000s the rail-trail conversion was well underway on the CIS (Clinton, Ionia, Shiawassee) east-west route for joggers, walkers, and bicyclists (skiers in winter). But the street name lives on to remind people of those earlier times. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.

About 25 minutes before day-break of rain and snow mix This view from the slightly open window of the parked car shows the streetlights still aglow and the warm light inside the corner coffee shop, housed in the former front office of the big factory floor behind where molten iron was cast into agricultural implements for many decades (then known as the F.C. Mason company). At the right is the city library, lit only in its minimal setting until doors open 2 1/2 hours later.

Omelette smiles picture-perfect on the diner plate Although a strip of bacon peeks out, in the main this is a vegetable-filled special omelette at this long-time downtown diner, once a favorite of farmers doing business in the town or people at the twice weekly stockyard sales (ending in the 1970s). Ownership has changed over the life of the building, but the current people have been at it for a generation, so it has a familiar atmosphere, well-loved and with a steady stream of loyal customers, too.
