  1. This oil was a good carrier for some of the ill tasting herbs my Mom used to administer for some of our maladies when I was a kid. unclebuck

  2. Baker Drug Store was open and thriving until about 2002. It eventually sold out to one of the chains. I was sad to see that happen.

  3. Bakers closed in 1991, not 2002. It was not sold to a national chain. It simply closed du to lack of business.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
