Local Historian Offers Research Services
LOCAL HISTORIAN James Mann asks if Y. would post something about his services and Y. is glad to comply. He says:
"I will be very grateful if you can be so kind as to let the readers of your wonderful blog know that
can employ me to research the history of their home, building, or an event of interest to them, and write a history for them. I know where to find the information, and will provide a history of their home, including information on families who lived there. I charge a fee of $35 per hour, and am willing to work with clients." Reach James at manjam[at]provide.net.

I should definitely contact him about getting a history of my restaurant. I know several of the employees and a couple of the astrologers that come in on Thursday nights are convinced there is a ghost in the basement. It would be interesting to find out if there is any history of the building that would support their suspicions.

I think I know of the astrologers whereof you speak--are they the group led by Bon Rose Fine.
I'm fascinated to learn about a possible ghost! I dimly remember a conversation about another establishment in which workers thought there was a ghost--somewhere over near the Elbow Room? I don't remember precisely.

Yes, that is the group led by Bon Rose. They meet at my place every Thursday night for their Astrology Gathering. Their group has been growing steadily since they had an article published about them in the community news edition of the Ann Arbor News.

A little bit of astrological humor from her website.

...which I find to be very accurate.

I've hired Mr. Mann to document the Civil War connection that Ypsilanti has with the River St. Barracks (Thompson Block). A Michigan Historic Marker is in the works to commemorate the Barracks and James Mann's research will help the project to fruitation.
