I’m very sad to see the store close… I have been a friend of the family for many years and worked in both of the stores in high school. What a nice article on the families many accomplishments thorough the years. Good luck on your next adventure!

WOW – what a bummer……I played Softball for Someplace Special when I was probably about 8 years old – with Marian Ellis. That store was a “Staple” Downtown and will surely be missed. Best of luck to the Ellis and Tillotson Families.

Would like to clear up the paragraph on the Downtown Business Association and the Recycling Center, the two don’t have anything in common. I was on the Downtown Business Association Board, but I was also on the Isabella County Commission for four years. During my time on the commission the Isabella County Recycling Center was established and I was on the committee to oversee the project.
