Since 1854 — News from Montcalm County and Ionia County, Michigan
A prolific bowling career for Wyatt Meyers was kickstarted by rejection.
A basketball player and bowler growing up, Meyers tried out for Belding’s junior varsity basketball team in his freshman year and did not make the team, which Meyers fairly attributed to his academics.
How were the pyramids built? That was the topic of a TV show I watched a while back.
It wasn’t a good TV show. It was one of those “what if?” programs (aka “could it be?” or “did this happen?”).
An old downtown building purported to be the first J.L. Hudson standalone store in the Midwest is set for renovation after the Ionia City Council voted Tuesday night to approve a 12-year property tax abatement and a 24-year Brownfield redevelopment plan.
The City Council granted an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption certificate for the real property at 340 W. Main St. through Dec. 30, 2033. A building is deemed obsolete when at least 50% of it can no longer be used for the functions it was designed for.
