Tales from the Ypsilanti Archives (Mi): Tripe-mongers, Parker's Hair Balsam, the Underwear Club & More (American Chronicles) Laura Bien

Author Laura Bien offers up a diverse sampling of offbeat and lighthearted stories that will transplant readers to the bygone days of Ypsilanti- from the fight Ypsilanti waged against standardized time to the gloom apparent in a Ypsilantian's Depression-era grocery receipt, and from Jackson's glowing pork chop to the time Ypsilantians staunchly defended themselves against accusations of 'sloppy speech.' Join Bien to enjoy these quirky tales and learn what life used to be like in this fascinating city.
