Does anybody remember this stuff? Green River? I used to sell it on our pop gun at the pool hall. I was, believe it or not, our best selling pop for a time! I...
It was pointed out to me that I made a typo on my "Green River" post. In the post I said, "I was, believe it or not, our best selling pop for a time!" Let me...
I've heard recently that the Green River pop can be found in Iron Mountain, Mi. I think it was the Co-op. ... <deaf_services@...> wrote: Does anybody remember...
Does any one remember the Spinners? I'm not talking about the singing group of the sixties. It was a gadget made popular in the 50's and carried into the early...
Back in the late 50's - early 60's I used to make a gismo out of a item found in family laundry room. A knife was needed to do a little whittling on this item...
I urge everybody to check out the "1952-1956 Ironwood Progress Report" that Dennis Hewitt was kind enough to share with us. An article about the booklet will...

Thanks to Chris Ann Bressette for this exceptional post card of the Post Office (July 5, 1947). We will be including this photo in our "History Photos" section...

Okay, that pretty much explains the nursing home, and you're right, it is too bad we have to let it go, but it looks pretty rough from the outside. As far as...
Chris, The old high school was BEHIND the current high school. Somewhere I have a few photos of the old high school. I'll post them when I dig them up. They...
