Formerly known as the celery growing capital of the US, now plant growing producers. The Kalamazoo River was victim to the Enbridge Co. oil spill last fall. Still in the cleanup process.
Spent a few years traveling back and forth to Kalamazoo. Our oldest daughter graduated from Western in 1993. She was a music ed major. We lived in Elkhart at that time so it wasn't too bad.
