And that’s exactly what we want to see.
To keep things rolling this week, I’m sharing a photo I took myself while walking through the park behind the Battle Creek Science Center.
It was one of those perfect Michigan days. The sun was shining, the trees were swaying, and the path seemed to invite everyone to slow down and enjoy the moment.
But here’s the truth: this feature isn’t about my photos.
It’s about yours.
We want to see Battle Creek through your lens. We want your neighborhood, your favorite restaurant dish, your kids at the playground, the mural you walk past every morning, or that little spot by the river that only you know about.
These everyday snapshots are what make our city feel alive.
So please, take a moment this week.
Snap a picture, jot down a short description, and send it our way.

Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) is launching its annual winter coat drive starting September 15, 2025, providing crucial support for local families during the cold months.
Donations of new and gently used coats, snow pants, hats, mittens, and scarves are welcome at any KCCU branch through October 31.
KCCU prioritizes community care, making sure every item collected—from infant to adult sizes—is clean and in great condition before distribution to families in need.
All donated goods will be distributed via partnerships with local organizations, helping neighbors close to home.
CEO Tracy Miller highlights the importance of unity, reflecting the credit union’s “people helping people” mission.
After collecting over 435 coats and nearly 200 cold-weather items in 2023, KCCU aims even higher this year, inviting widespread community involvement across their branches in Battle Creek, Marshall, Kalamazoo, Portage, Richland, Grand Rapids, and Three Rivers.
Together, we can help keep our community warm and safe this winter. Read More... |
Casinos are built on the idea that luck rarely turns so dramatically in a player’s favor, but one recent night at FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan changed everything for Anthony W. Jr., a Detroit resident.
Anthony’s $5 side bet at the blackjack table triggered a jaw-dropping progressive jackpot: over $1.3 million, one of the largest in FireKeepers’ history.
Instead of celebrating with strangers, Anthony’s first move was a heartfelt call to his mother, telling her, “Momma, we are out of the hood!”—a moment that quickly went viral for its honesty and emotion.
Social media users connected deeply with his family-first reaction, though some noted the real-life challenges such winnings can bring.
FireKeepers Casino’s broader commitment to renewable energy and charitable work reinforces its ongoing role as a community anchor, making Anthony’s story even more inspiring. Read More... |

Kalamazoo’s latest cinematic export, the dark comedy ‘Bad Haircut’, is set for its world premiere at Austin’s prestigious Fantastic Fest from September 18 to 25.
Directed by local filmmaker Kyle Misak and produced by Jon Petro, the movie was shot entirely in Kalamazoo during summer 2023.
The film joins headliners at the festival’s 20th anniversary, including ‘Black Phone 2’ and ‘Whistle’.
Starring Hollywood names Jake Busey (‘Predator’, ‘Stranger Things’) and Larry Hankin (‘Friends’, ‘Home Alone’), ‘Bad Haircut’ tells the story of Billy, whose ordinary haircut turns perilous thanks to his disturbed barber, Mick.
The film’s journey from script to screen took four years, with more festival appearances planned, including a European premiere in October.
Wider release is expected in theaters or on streaming by 2026.

Michigan’s unemployment claims rose last week to 5,413, compared to 5,073 previously, highlighting shifts in the state’s economic landscape.
This trend mirrors a national uptick, with U.S. claims climbing to 237,000, up by 8,000.
Tennessee saw the highest percentage rise in claims nationwide, while Kentucky posted the sharpest drop.
Amid changing job market dynamics, Michigan lost 8,700 nonfarm payroll jobs in June 2025, marking one of the largest state decreases that month.
Despite this, Michigan gained 10,500 jobs during the second quarter, ranking 12th for employment growth among states.
Recent legislative changes took effect in April, boosting maximum weekly unemployment benefits from $362 to $446 and extending coverage to 26 weeks.
This expansion offers increased financial support for residents facing job transitions, as Michigan continues adapting to economic challenges. Read More... |

Consumers Energy is set to sell its 13 hydroelectric dams across Michigan to Hull Street Energy, a Maryland-based firm, for $13 million, with a 30-year agreement to repurchase the electricity these sites generate.
This move follows extensive reviews of rising maintenance costs, regulatory pressures, and local impacts.
The dams, located on the Au Sable, Manistee, Muskegon, Grand, and Kalamazoo rivers, produce less than 1% of Consumers Energy’s electricity but are nine times costlier than alternative sources.
While the sale could lower costs for customers and retain local recreational benefits, environmental groups and residents are voicing concerns.
Organizations like the Michigan Hydro Relicensing Coalition warn about potential safety and maintenance risks under private ownership, citing disasters like the 2020 Edenville dam failure.
The sale, pending regulatory approval, leaves Michigan communities uncertain about the fate of these historic reservoirs and their vital roles in the local economy and environment. Read More... |

Winning Friends Starts Here |
Part One: Fundamental Techniques in Handling People |
 |
This month we’ve begun Dale Carnegie’s classic How to Win Friends & Influence People, and the opening chapters set the tone with three timeless principles for better relationships, whether in business, family, or community.
Chapter 1: Don’t Criticize, Condemn, or Complain
Instead of pointing out faults, look for understanding.
People respond far better to encouragement than condemnation.
Chapter 2: Give Honest and Sincere Appreciation
Take a moment each day to notice and acknowledge the efforts of those around you.
Chapter 3: Arouse in the Other Person an Eager Want
Frame your ideas in terms of their desires and goals, and you’ll find cooperation comes much easier.
These three principles might sound simple, but practiced consistently, they can transform the way people respond to you.
They’re the foundation for all the influence that follows in later chapters.

💡 Answer to Trivia Question: The influential religious leader in question is John Harvey Kellogg, who founded the community of "The Battle Creek Sanitarium" in 1866. Over time, the sanitarium would grow to become a world-renowned health resort that attracted visitors seeking physical, mental, and spiritual healing through Kellogg's unconventional practices. The community emphasized dietary restrictions, exercise, and hydrotherapy in treating various illnesses and promoting overall well-being. Additionally, Kellogg's beliefs in vegetarianism and religious harmony played a significant role in shaping the culture and lifestyle of the community during that era. |
