“When justice and mercy prevail, children may safely play” allegedly from Zechariah, is what the plaque says. Located in the park across the street from Kalamazoo City Hall.

To finish up with Louisville, I headed downtown in the morning before hitting the road to Evansville. For those not aware, I love bridges – all shapes and sizes. The Big Four Railroad Bridge was irresistible. That’s downtown Louisville in the background.

I was in Evansville, Indiana Friday night, and Dayton, Ohio last night. Didn’t post yesterday because I was still recovering from my visit with Bruce. I had a great visit, with some very perceptive comments from both Bruce and Katrina, but I’m concerned I might be a bad influence.

On to Dayton…

I felt much better today, and it was a beautiful, clear, sunny day for a drive. I hit Kalamazoo a bit after noon and headed down the road toward, Muskegon, where I am tonight. Had a nice dinner of fried perch and tater tots.

But in between Kalamazoo and Muskegon, I saw on the map Bangor, Michigan, population 1,829. That couldn’t be missed, so with a slight detour, I stopped in.

Tomorrow is Cadillac and then up to Traverse City. Following the shore of Lake Michigan up to Petoskey for the night. I think.
