The Village
The light yellow building on the left is the General Store
The Old Auction Barn
I can still hear the rumble of the train as it passed the auction barn. Sometimes I thought the building was going to come down on our heads the rumble and vibration seemed so tremendous.All bids were put on hold until the train had passed. I was in that building many nights when the train rumbled past.
My Home Town
Salem, Michigan the town that time forgot. This is the town where I grew up. It still pretty much looks the same today as it did back then. I went to church at the church on the far corner. Every time I pass through this town (which I do about 3 times a month when my grandson plays Hockey) I feel like I'm 10 years old again. There's something so "Somewhere in Time" about it.
The Old General Store
This store has been here many years. A friend lived above the store right after she got married. I grew up about 3 miles from this small whistle-stop town and of course it was a big part of my life.
