This is the main business street and is about one mile long, following the course of the Manistee River from near Lake Michigan to the inner harbor, known as Lake Manistee. It is lined on both sides with many beautiful stores and other business places. We visited Manistee, Mich. It had spring water to drink and a park that we saw. Manistee and the Ann Arbor R.R. came through. It was a nice day. Before this, we came down from the northeast.
