The final portion of Building 50, planned for reconstruction this spring, is now available for guided tours for a limited time along with the underground tunnels at The Village of Grand Traverse Commons. Tours kick off tomorrow (the first few Saturdays are already sold out) at 3 p.m. and are also offered Tuesdays at 11 a.m. The 90-minute tour guides participants through the original 1885 "North End" of the building that has sat untouched since the former State Hospital closed nearly 25 years ago. $25 per person, ages 12 and up only.
I've lived here my whole life. It's always been them that's got and them that's not. That's the kind of people this little city attracts anymore, and it is sad.
