Michigan's Horror Movie Hosts #1: Christopher Coffin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Halloween just around the corner, it's time to bring back and remember the old horror movie hosts that permeated the television waves from 1he 1950s and 1960s - when they reigned supreme and before they began fizzling out by the 1970s. Sure, you can catch some current ones in this day and age, but the edginess and creativity are gone, along with the envelope being pushed as far as possible. Back in the 1950s, when movie studios like Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and MGM began selling thei
Back to the Old Grind: A Return to the Ghost Town of Grindstone City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some Michiganians refer to Grindstone City in Huron County as a ghost town, others don't. For the sake of this article, the subject won't even be brought up.

Grand River in Lansing is now an ice cream stop, but once upon a time it was a corner gas station operated by the Pulver Brothers. Elmer Pulver owned a local hardware store but he needed more. So he and his brother Ben founded their own offshoot of a Sinclair gas station and named it the Pulver Brothers Sinclair Oil Company. By 1924, the Pulvers had four gas filling stations throughout Lansing, including this one f
Who Were 'Prince Arky & His Michigan Playboys'? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The name does not evoke fainting females or screaming bobbysoxers...,,and anyone reading this who actually remembers this recording act will probably be the only one in his-or-her inner circle that does. So what was this group’s claim to fame?Well, they released a single in 1963 titled I’m Pickin’ On You with My Heart Would Surely Die on the flip side. What? You never heard it? Join the club. That appears to have been their only record release; no other singles and no other albums....well, at le
