The Under the Oaks monument used to be in a fairly upscale white neighborhood. Then it went ghetto and now has gone Hispanic and looking better.
There is a county in Missouri named Cass County after Lewis Cass. It was originally named Van Buren County, but after Martin Van Buren ran for President on the Free Soil Party ticket (opposing the expansion of slavery), the county was renamed Cass County.

We’ve got both Cass and Van Buren county here in Michigan as well as a Freesoil village and township.
There is also an historic plaque at Ganson and Trail street (or is that the one you speak of?)
Under the Oaks is on Franklin just east for Frank’s party store.
Happy birthday to the Greatest Republican!
OY!
Yankee Doodle was an insult song.
You take their needling and turn it around so they get the point. :)
Michigander. It is what my Great-Grandma said it was, what my Grandma said it was and what my mom said it was and by golly that is good enough for me!
(And we never called them "trolls" to their face.)
We don’t mind the troll thing.
As a Yooper once told me, Trolls bring dollars.
Bless their little wallets! Care for some fudge?
Pass on the fudge but I’ll take some smoked whitefish
I am sure I ate other things but that was the first thing I remember eating. Walking down to the pier with my Dad and buying some from the lady there and sitting with our legs dangling over the water while we munched. I was maybe three or so.
