DON CAMPBELL’S HOMETOWN ( THE LITTLEMAN ) VIDEO

DON CAMPBELL’S HOMETOWN ( THE LITTLEMAN ) VIDEO

This video we took two weeks ago as we traveled through our old home towns where Deb and I both grew up.
The small stores still trying to survive with the big box stores slowly pushing them out. The video shows the Breckenridge, St.Louis , Alma , Shepherd and Mt.Pleasant areas that we lived around .
It shows a John Deere Dealership and a IH Dealership I used to love to pass by with my mom and see all the tractors and even at that young age I remember being in awe
Seeing some of the old buildings I used to go to as a young boy now closed up and The old post office where I got my social security no.
The old closed up gas station on the corner that I used to walk my bike down to get air in the tires. The grain elevator we lived across from and remembering the grain dryers running on those hot summer nights. The old resturaunt I used to go to get fountain drinks that they used to make in front of you while you waited.
Seeing the old Hardware Store I bought my first bike at age 11 after working in the fields picking cucumbers for the area farmers.
Many of you say you enjoy the personal side of my webpage too . Hope you enjoy this little video as this area of central Michigan is the place that effected my interests today as a model builder and my love for machinery.
I want to thank Kevin from Colo. for letting me use his old gas pumps and thank Tony from Colo. for posing by them, ha,ha.
Hope you enjoy the latest video.
Tomorrow I’ll get back to the normal routine.
