Happy Birthday wishes are in order.
Posted by Katy in General Post on January 28th, 2010
I would just like to wish my dad a happy birthday. I’ve concluded he’s hit the ripe age of 43 today.
(Don’t worry, he did get a call from me!)
Also, the “apple household” is excited about the introduction of the iPad. Nick had some doubts about it, but looked into it a little more and it seems promising.
This product looks like it has some great capabilities, and is worth checking out. Enjoy!

(Dad, I’m starting on my Christmas list early this year!)
Love,
Katy

Congratulations to Elishia and Sammy Licavoli on the arrival of Addyson Rose. Mother and baby are doing well. We wish the new family all of God’s blessings. Oh, couldn’t help but noticing the huge grin on Grandpa’s face too.
Now Sammy, there is an offical weight and length recorded (7lbs 7.6oz and 19 inches long), so no “Fish Tales”, eh?

The Future of Entertainment
Posted by slicavoli923 in General Post on January 7th, 2010
Who ever thought that you could stream movies anytime over the internet on your big screen? You can through Netflix and blockbuster. What is this Pandora Internet Radio you speak of that searches the world’s most extensive archive of music matching up other unknown artists that fit the same mold and that’s right you can have that on you TV and listen to it over you home theater surround sound system if you have one.
Now enter the first media-less (no disk or cartridge) on demand video game system called onlive. It is slated to launch soon and is the brainchild of the man who created QuickTime for Apple. I will let you check it out yourself at http://onlive.com but stop and think one day you won’t wait to watch or play or listen to anything you will go to one service that has all these things and you get them instantly on your TV over the world wide web.

Millington Hotel Postcard
Posted by Dave in History, Millington on December 17th, 2009

Dad gave this postcard to me the other night. Its another of the Millington Hotel located at the corner of State and Main. I’m assuming it was taken in the early 1940’s, as the lower left picture indicates that a Blue Star Mother was either the owner or a resident of the hotel. The chicken dinner sign says that it’s “Frankenmuth Style”, possibly meaning family style. Here is another post of a Millington Hotel postcard. Any thoughts?
