SHELBY TOWNSHIP — As Michigan Central Station celebrated its reopening after many years and an extensive renovation project, a longtime resident of Shelby Township shared her memories of when she worked at the Michigan Central Station in the 1940s. Angela Spalla and her daughter, Liana Spalla, of West Bloomfield, reminisce about when Angela worked at Michigan Central Station and how much it has changed since then. Angela has lived in the same house in Shelby Township since 1958 and is now 103 years old. She worked at Michigan Central Station from 1943 to 1946 before she got married to her fiancé, Frederick Spalla, who was a Marine sergeant stationed in the Philippines during World War II and who was honorably discharged prior

MACKINAC ISLAND — For a destination seemingly frozen somewhere in time, Mackinac Island always boasts something new each summer. And this summer is no different. This season much of the buzz centers around the reopening of the Inn at Stonecliffe after a $40 million renovation. Built in 1904 as a lakeside estate for a Chicago family, the refurbished inn includes new common spaces, renovated guest rooms, new bathrooms and up-to-date comforts.

guest rooms with spacious layouts. Each is equipped with a kitchenette, small dining table and lake or garden views. The two-year renovation restored many parts of the 18,500-square-foot mansion and property, staying true to its historic charm but adding modern elegance and amenities. For overnight guests, that means an elevated experience with personalized concierge service. But you don’t have to be an overnight guest to enjoy some of the new amenities; three new dining concepts have been created and are open to the public. They feature products from Michigan and the Great Lakes and from the resort’s orchard and gardens. Dinner at The See MACKINAC on page 10A
