Own The Irving Gilmore Mansion in Kalamazoo For Less Than $450K
It would be difficult to get more Kalamazoo than Irving Gilmore. His father, James F. Gilmore founded the Gilmore Brothers Department Store. Gilmore Brothers was open in Kalamazoo for over a century before closing in 1999. After the senior Gilmore died in 1908, his mother, Carrie Sherwood Gilmore married W.E. Upjohn, the founder of Upjohn Pharmaceuticals. Irving Gilmore founded the Gilmore Keyboard Festival. Western Michigan University has the Irving S. Gilmore Theatre. You do not get more Kalamazoo than the Gilmores and the Upjohns.
The Irving Gilmore mansion, a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown Kalamazoo is up for sale. The asking price is only $429,900. No extra charge for the history that comes with it.

This week we celebrated one of my favorite holidays April Fools Day.
I m not one to pull a lot of April Fools Day pranks. It s not because I don t have ideas, it s mostly because I don t, personally, like being messed with. I figure if I start pulling pranks on others, they ll start pulling them on me and that is not a precedent I want to set.
And so I ve never pulled my absolute favorite April Fools prank, though I ve been tempted many times. Seeing as I don t plan on pulling it, I ll tell you all what it is.
Is NASCAR s Next-Gen Car Compatible with Bristol Dirt? I feel like it would be mud-bogging with an IndyCar if we took this car to the dirt next year. Jared C. TiltonGetty Images
Bristol Motor Speedway will once again host a NASCAR Cup Series dirt event in 2022 but what that looks like remains an open question.
The format will need to be refined after the sanctioning body made several changes throughout the weekend due to tire wear concerns. The industry is already considering suitable companion events after Crate Late Models were used to work in the surface prior to both the Cup and Truck Series features.
