Ypsilanti has chickens. It also has bees. If anyone is contemplating a campaign to restore its onetime pigs, that would be, if nothing else, historically accurate. Here's a 1919 ad from the Daily Ypsilantian-Press about a guy living in the Water Street area offering for sale a complete set of pigs. You get the sow and 11 darling piglets. He's just east of the railroad bridge, right by Sesi Mazda there, kinda across the street from the time-warp known as Ypsi Mobile Village. You might like to stop by and look over those wee porkers!
