Michigan History

[Rizzo]

I visit Grand Traverse commons every couple of years. I’m impressed how much was added recently at the back of the property. It’s always busy there all times of the year. It’s probably one of the greatest historic preservation victories in Michigan. It was nearly slated for demolition in the 90’s. Not only did they beautifully renovate the 19th century structures, but the mid-century 1950’s stuff got incredible facelifts with a modern industrial loft vibe.
