Bonus Images for Ypsilanti Citizen Story

The Citizen today published my story on Ypsilanti's newest boutique, "Mix." Here are some additional images to accompany the story! Postin' 'em here only because they are enlargeable, so you can embiggen 'em and scrutinize the details. Thanks to the Citizen for publishing my story!

    Those streaks of light on the last image are because the photo was water-damaged and rippled, and I didn't want to further damage it by squooshing it down on the scanner yesterday at the Archives. Anyways.
