Otto’s Turkey Farm: 180 years and six generations

There was a time when nearly every country road in Barry County was lined with family farms. Dairy cattle grazed in the pastures, chickens scratched around the barnyard, and the changing seasons determined much of the farmer’s daily routine. Farming was not simply an occupation but a way of life, and the family farm was often handed down from one generation to the next. Today, many of those farms have disappeared, their barns stand empty or their fields have since been converted into residential developments. Yet, here and there, we find remarkable exceptions where the land remains in the hands of descendants of the original pioneer settlers. One such example is Otto’s Turkey Farm, located at 7640 West State Road near Middleville, where the same family has been farming for 180 years.

Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum

For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house. When Ryan Reyher met Stephanie Briceno-Rosas at the Haunt in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2020, he was immediately smitten, he said. “I thought she was gorgeous,” Mr. Reyher said of his first impression. But it wasn’t just her looks that attracted him: “She was really caring and her aspirations were really cool.” He asked her out at the end of August, 2020, and their relationship blossomed. Six years later, the couple, who share a love of all things spooky, plan to marry on Friday the 13th at Mortuary Manor Funeral Museum & Event Center, a museum housed in a Victorian-era building that later served as a funeral home in Toledo. “We were looking for kind of a gothic venue within our budget,” Mr. Reyher said. “We decided to reach out and see if we could host a wedding there, and he was more than happy to do it.” Friday’s wedding is the first for the museum, said Cory Leibenguth, operational manager of Mortuary Manor. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897, he said. It became Urbanski

Michigan loses its only Bojangles location. What's happening

Bojangles, a "Southern chicken" chain, that opened its first Michigan location earlier this year has closed its doors. North Carolina-based Bojangles operates 850 restaurants in 20 states across the United States through the company and franchises. The only Michigan location, operated by Meritage Hospitality, closed the only restaurant in the state at 1730 28th St. in Wyoming. The restaurant is no longer listed on the Bojangles website and is shown as permanently closed in a Google search. The Bojangles opened on Feb. 3 this year. Meritage Hospitality Group Inc. , one of the nation’s largest restaurant operators, on Friday, Sept. 17, announced that it had voluntarily filed petitions for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. Meritage, based at 45 Ottawa Ave. SW in Grand Rapids, had 314 Wendy’s, one Bojangles and five independently branded dining concepts across 15 states, according to a release about the bankruptcy filing. The Meritage website no longer lists Bojangles among its operations. “We are disappointed that our Grand Rapids restaurant has closed as a result of financial challenges facing Meritage Hospitality Group, the parent company of our franchisee, Chicken Ventures," the company said in a statement to the
