Miami Sunrise, October 8, 2008 This is the statue in the middle of Muskegon's Hackley Park on one of those lovely mornings. The sign at the old Elks Club on Muskegon's Ottawa Avenue is rarely left on when the club is closed. But, this morning it was blazing away with the red lights lighting up everything around it.
