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."

Historical Walking Tours Available
Looking for a unique and fun thing to do for your next company picnic or family outing? How about a walking tour with Ypsilanti's preeminent historian James Mann? He is an entertaining storyteller and he's got the goods and historical gossip on everyone.Full disclosure: James is an old old friend of Dusty D's--not quite back to the cradle but getting there. And as such, I'm stickin' up for him and promoting his walking tours--'cause they're cool. You can see the range of topics you can choose from, there. And from what I know about James, I think it's safe to say that he would be delighted to further customize a topic to suit your group's interests.
I personally recommend the ghost tours, but they're all good. James is great with questions too--it's not just a canned tour. Just something to keep in mind the next time you're looking for a fun, informative, and unique thing thing to do.
