The elevator on the right hand side of the river is still there, with the “Beans” sign on top. I was in Saginaw about a year ago and took a photo of it. Saginaw was part of my six year field trip to all 83 county seats in Michigan, the state where I grew up. I hope some day to get my photos processed and organized so that I can put up an e-book.
My mom lived near Clunie St. in Saginaw. It’s on the West Side of town.
