The corner of E. Chicago Road and West Street in Jonesville, Mich. is lined with cars Saturday evenings. Patrons wander the streets, stopping at a shop or eatery. But by 10 p.m. the corner is desolate and the town is sleepy. Only 10 minutes from campus by a winding country road or Michigan 99 highway, Jonesville is home to restaurants ranging from fine dining to Mexican fiesta, Wal-Mart and many small shops. (0) comments
Visitors to Jonesville, Mich., can see broken fragments of the small town's history in the high Victorian architecture of downtown, the square nails in countryside barns and even the street-lamps that line Highway 12. However, the history most dear to locals lies deeper than the aesthetic charm of Jonesville: it lies in the community. (0) comments
