 |  | Some Pics Of Idlewild Michigan
< on 4/16/2007 1:09 PM >
|  | | | Here are a few photos of only a few of many buildings in Idlewild, just outside of Baldwin MI. It was once a huge resort town for blacks back before the anti-segragation laws. Entertainers such as BB King and Louie Armstrong performed here. All the streets are dirt. Most of the street corners all still have street signs and lights. Some of the area has had the buildings fixed up so it isn't all totally abandoned. There are even several newer houses that have been built in the area. You can Google the town and really learn more about it's history.
I have a few more photos but the wife and I plan on a return trip to take a few more.

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store. |

| | | | Ah, Idlewild. Sometimes, it's difficult to tell if a building there is abandoned or not, so watch out!
The two motels are pretty cool, and somewhere there's a new, modern house built within the stone foundation of demolished barn. There's weird stuff there.

I got the same feeling when I passed through there coming from Ludington headed to Greenville.
"It would be nice if I could blink (like Jeannie) and make some of you be afflicted with legs that are like pogo sticks, yes, pogo sticks, for the rest of your lives, and all of the ink shall run from your proud tattoos until it reforms on your foreheads only to spell out, "I am a demanding Bitch, everything should be my way." - JT Colfax |

Ive gone to a few places in idlewild, some houses that you swear would be abandoned and people still live there. I remember walking up to this trailer that my grampa owned many years ago and it was falling apart. as I got close the curtons moved. I got the hell out of there. I feel like everyone is watching me in that town.

|  | | | The closest we got wa that motel. We knew noone would be living there. It did seem like there were a lot more home security signs like ADT at the nicer places there this time through.
