Mr. Jackson Has It All May 24, 2012

Mr. Jackson is 79 years old and retired. He did not say from what.  Mr. Jackson's home on West Grand St. off Hamilton in Highland Park, Mi. overflows with collected objects. 
He offered me a little lunch while listening to classical music on a cassette player tucked in his shirt pocket.
While talking with Mr. Jackson a woman walks up, looking for a bath tub..." sorry dear, I am out at the moment...check back in a week or so." Mr. Jackson went on talking about being an artist, and exhibiting  a sculpture at the art museum.  The sculpture is displayed on the front porch.


Not far from the art is a fine example of furniture planted at the stairs to the home.


Wandering the landscape you can find just about anything. 

Now don't be discouraged... he may have it .
Small business may not be booming....but you still can find friendly service, a bite of lunch,    and just the fireplace you have always wanted.



The American Dream...owning your own business including fine glassware.
