Bay View Michigan. A Chautauqua established in 1875 and a national historic landmark on Lake Michigan. I've been vacationing there for many of the past 60 years during which I have witnessed several changes. Until recently, there were many signs like this one reminding residents and visitors of the association's many rules and restrictions. I once thought I should document all such signs I could find by photographing them. I think this altered sign makes the point I wanted to demonstrate. There are many fewer such signs now.

This door was on the old Sterns and Foster mattress factory which was being torn down when I took the shot. It is now gone. .

Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .
