James Mann tour this Friday: $5

Dusty D is pleased to publish the following press release about her friend James Mann's tour this Friday:

"Today the Depot Town section of Ypsilanti is quiet and peaceful, a fun place to take the family for a meal or shopping, but it was not always so. The history of Depot Town has its share of murder, crime and sudden death, as well as vice and other good things. Local historian James Mann will lead a Ghost Tour of Depot Town this Friday evening and tell some of the tales of death and ghosts of the area. The tour will include a tale of murder at the Michigan Central Railroad Depot, the ghosts of the Newell Block and explain the real reason for the tunnels of Depot Town."

"The tour will be Friday, October 30, at 7:00 PM, beginning by the Michigan Central Railroad Depot at Cross and River Street. Cost is $5 per person."

Dusty D is wondering if the tour will mention the infamous bawdy house that used to exist above the Horse Exchange.

Do you mean Ma Bush and her girls? Why yes, of course, what account of Depot Town would be complete with out her?

Dusty D said...

Yep, I meant Ma.....Bush. Goodie; I hope to hear all the the gossip!

I want to say thank you to everyone who came on the tour. I enjoyed myself, and am looking forward to the next tour. Several people told me, they wished to go on the tour, but had already made other plans. Anyone who would like to arrange their own tour can contact me at james.manjam@gmail.com.

Once again, thank-you to everone who came, and to those who wished they could.
