Throwback Thursday

This is a photograph of the 1963 Michigan State Class C Basketball Final.  It featured two teams from two opposite ends of the state, the Houghton Gremlins, the northernmost team in Class C, and the southernmost team in Class C.  You guessed it, the Bisons of New Buffalo, Michigan.  In honor of the NCAA tournament which begins today, this is Throwback Thursday.

 For this week's edition of Throwback Thursday, we'll take you to a street in our fair city that played host to many of the same activities.
