Imagine meeting My Pet Monster in person, and on Halloween, no less. He was a very popular toy, certainly so in my household. I actually think that my parents might've brought him along in a wagon for Trick 'r Treating before I was big enough to go out on my own. Years later, as adults, I'd engage in an acrimonious battle for custody of him with my brother. I think you can guess who prevailed.

For being the high school that tried to ban Gay Straight Allience in 2002, our most famous alumni are hella famous for being gay.

This is the last run of C&O Train No. 15 as it passed through Okemos, Mich. on April 30, 1971. Amtrak took effect the next day but included no ex-C&O/PM lines in Michigan in its new system. By the time of this photo the PM trains had been reduced to one or two cars. C&O E8 No. 1473 is unusual in that its truly a "C&O/B&O" locomotive. Through a stenciling error it had C&O lettering on the side and a B&O capitol dome logo on the nose. (Gene Huddleston photo, C&OHS Collection, COHS 20437)

NEW SERIES TRAILER: “Going Home” - in the 10 years of me being on YouTube, I've shared so much of my life with y’all. But a lot happened BEFORE I turned on my camera. In this 8-part series, I’ll be sharing moments of my past I've held in the vault, while re-visiting the places that defined me back in Michigan. Get ready y'all - we're Going Home. :)
