For the next few months, I'll be working on a project in south central Michigan, not far from Detroit. Of course, for a photographer who likes shooting old buildings and structures from the early 1900's, I'll visit Detroit a few times to capture images of the old auto plants. I'll post some images on this blog.

Meanwhile, my day-to-day work keeps me in the small town of Jackson, MI. Like a lot of towns in Michigan, it too once was home to a few large and not-so-large factories. The project will also have me traveling to other small towns scattered around Michigan.

Last week, I had to travel to the town of Owosso for an all-day meeting. On the way, I passed through Perry, MI. Just as you approach the town from the south on highway M50, you come up on the King Kone ice cream shop. It is a clean and well-preserved structure. 50 or 60 years ago you might have seen far more odd structures like this, but most are gone. Thankfully, the owners of this one kept it maintained.
