Yesterday, my wife and I visited downtown Howell, Michigan.  Our main reason was to get to the last of the Howell Winter Marketplaces - the indoor winter version of the Howell Farmers Market at the Howell Opera House.  Next Sunday, by the way, is the 2015 inaugural Howell Farmers Market adjacent to the Historic Livingston County Courthouse.I bumped into a friend who has a small farm and was selling items there (previously unknown to me), and because it was a good, sunny, 'walking' day, we checked out some other shops.  We stopped in at Mom & Pop's Bakery, but since we had eaten breakfast just before our visit, we didn't sample anything.  (Note to self: Next time, go hungry.)A new pub just opened, 2FOGs, which stands for 2 Friendly Old Guys.  It's in the basement of a storefront on Grand... 04/27/2015

There's plenty to do at the Howell Opera House this weekend.  Today, beginning at 6pm is 'Opera Art Live', an evening of Hor d'oevres, cocktails and observing 30 artists creating ART LIVE on site.  Silent auctions of that art and an artist afterglow will conclude the evening.  Admission $12 in advance or $15 at the door.  Proceeds will go towards art programs at the Opera House.  Go home, get a good night's sleep, then come back at 10am on Sunday for the last Howell Winter Market. This every-other-Sunday event takes up the slack left by the absence of the summer Howell Farmer's Market.  Billed as a family oriented marketplace, there are arts and crafts, baked goods, and other small production food items.  No admission fee.image courtesy Bob Smith   04/24/2015

Today from 11am-4pm at Howell High School is your last chance to see more than 200 exhibitors.  Many home improvement, landscaping and other exhibitors can be found here.  Don't miss this annual kick off to the Spring. Admission is only $6 adult.  When you're done, a short drive to downtown Howell for restaurants and shopping will help you finish your Sunday afternoon.For more info see http://www.livingstoncountyhomeshow.com/index.htm  04/12/2015

Here’s some exciting news!  Livingston County is planning its first ever airshow.  Crosswinds Aviation and the Livingston County Airport are working together to make this happen.  The date is set for Saturday June 27, 2015.  And this will be an exciting weekend in Howell.

As I was taking picutures for a future blog post on the Brownstone Condos for sale next to Banker's Square, I turned around to see where the sun in the sky was and saw it shining on the old Howell Mi Depot, a museum operated by the Howell Area Historical Society and it brought on some childhood memory flashbacks. Growing up in Howell Mi, I was familar with trains and the tracks that ran behind our house about a block away.   So I went over and walked around the old depot, it looked better than I remembered. It has been a long time. I have memories of when it was a steam world, before the  Desiel Streamliners would come and take over but my memories  were  about steam, Here a few of them.                       THE SOUNDS OF A TRAIN AT NIGHTMy family moved to North Street,  second house w... 04/25/2014
