Lenawee County-Diabetes Walk

Yesterday I went to Tecumseh to do the Diabetes Walk with some of my family members. Since it was a 5K walk which only equals 3.3 miles, I had to get there early to walk the extra 1.7 miles in town.

I am really familiar with Lenawee County and I think Tecumseh is a really nice, classy town. The architecture is fantastic with many houses dating back to the 1800's. When you drive through on the main drag the houses are impressive but I walked one block back and saw really cool houses that I never noticed before. There was one arts and crafts style I really liked. There are lots of thriving local businesses including interesting looking home furnishing stores and a quilt store.

What impresses me is that they have a thriving local arts scene with a Youth Theater Group and Tecumseh Center for the Arts where plays are presented. I saw "The Wizard of Oz" there a few years back and it was pretty great.

I finished my 1.7 miles and then met up with some family members at the Community Center which is in one of the Henry Ford mills. We did the walk and then went out to have breakfast at City Limits Diner which I didn't know was there (it's on the block I never go down).
