Ludington Street

Down Ludington street, there's so much to see

And if you look, that's where you'll find me

The Stonehouse, Junior High School, and Ernie's Party Store

The Harbor Tower, House Of Ludington, and so much more

The Canterbury Book Store, The Record Rack, and T&T Hardware

There's so many memories that I could share

Beck's Western Auto, The Fair Store, and F&G

So many more, are stored in my memory

The Delft and the Michigan, theaters of the past

So many changes, can happen so fast

The City Library(the old Carnegie), and the City Hall

Mueller's, and Jupiter, and St.Vincent De Paul

Oh those memories, remember the A&P store

That's where we shopped, until it was no more

Sayklly's, Gus Asp, and Wickert's Floral shop

A visit to Kresge's, to have ice cream or a pop

Woolworth, J.C.Penny's, and the Pix Shoe Store

So much history on this street, dare I say any more

The 8th Street Coffee House, is a good place to stop

The drug stores: People's, Pryal's, Wilbee's(now the Medicine Shoppe)

The Photoart that later became the Ark

Best of all, Ludington Street leads to Ludington Park

Ninth and Ludington, where the Popcorn Wagon use to stand

Oh the memories of the times, spent in this Yooperland

I remember this street, and just had to share

The memories I had, so you could be there

Ludington Street, so many memories...so many changes
