Triangular shaped and with a historical marker to the local celebrity that reads: "For thirty-three years this was the home of William Wallace Cook, prolific write of dime novels. Heroes such as Frank Merriwell, Nick Carter, and Buffalo Bill were his speciality. Employed by Street and Smith serial publishers, Cook's problems in turning out quantities of material on a tight schedule were described in the autobiographical account, The Fiction Factory. He later systematized his writing technique in Plotto, A New Method of Creative Fiction. Born in Marshall in 1867, Cook returned in 1900 and resided here until his death in 1933."

Superior Street; Stirling Books and Brew, and Albion Malleable Brewing Co. After stopping by the Stirling Books for a coffee and milkshake, we decided to head to the place we knew would be open, the Public Park! A quick search on the internet led me to Victory Park. I'm not sure why this place is not on Yelp's map, but I added it, hence this review. Victory Park is Albion's largest riverfront park. The property could use some beautification, but it's still in good working order for the most part. The park includes a large pavilion that sits next to the 10,000 sq. ft. wooden playground structure (similar to Fort Fraser). There are vast open picnic spaces with BBQ's for public use. From the playground, I was able to see tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a band shell that doubles up as a sheltered skating rink in the winter. The Kalamazoo River East Branch is the riverfront for this park, and there are walking paths and trails that are part of the North Country National Scenic Trail. This 4,600 mile long trail includes a variety of hikes, from easy walks to challenging treks. This trail links scenic, natural, historic, and cultural areas over seven states including North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, New York, and Vermont. The trail includes a variety of diverse features, from clear-flowing streams to vast prairies, to sandy beaches. Both a hidden gem and a diamond in the rough, it's worth checking out if you have little ones and are in the area. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Happy trails!
