the manistee iron works , also known as the excello factory , was a manufacturing company based in manistee , michigan .

while the company has since gone out of business , the factory built by the company in 1907 continues to bear the company 's name and is a landmark in manistee 's historic downtown area .

the manistee iron works was founded in the 1870s as a foundry and machine shop .

in the late 1880s , the facility began manufacturing heavy machinery , including pumps and evaporation pans , for the area 's burgeoning salt industry .

a prior structure was destroyed by fire in july 1901 .

at the time of the fire , the ludington chronicle reported that the iron works was " one of manistee 's best industries and was doing a very large business . "

in 1904 , the manistee iron works was contracted to manufacture " a complete salt-making plant " for an english company .

the order , running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars , was reported at the time to be " perhaps the largest order placed by a single english concern for goods of american manufacture . "

in 1907 , the plant that remains today was built at the northeast corner of jones and river streets .

the rectangular 2 ¹ ⁄ ₂ - story brick foundry building remains a manistee landmark .

it is 120 feet wide and 270 feet long with a gabled roof .

during the 1930s , workers at the facility participated in the manistee iron works band , which performed in area parades and events .

in june 1947 , a fire substantially damaged the main foundry structure .

a second fire in january 1948 destroyed the parts foundry at the site .

the plant ceased operations in 1981 .

the state of michigan designated the property as a brownfield redevelopment project in april 2003 .

the designation was intended to assist in providing funding to clean up heavy metal and other contamination at the site and to promote redevelopment efforts .

the property was also included in manistee 's tax-free renaissance zone .

in 2010 , the machine shop at the manistee iron works was listed on the national register of historic places .

in the late 2000s , the facility was occupied by 10 west studios , a motion picture production company .

in 2009 , 10 west produced the film " what if ... ? " at various manistee locations , including the iron works .

coming from oregon , we ' re very familiar with small places that serve local produce and pride themselves on simple but quality food . iron works cafe is just like being at home . the food was simple , fresh , and very good . the cafe is inside an old iron works building with some fun details . the staff were friendly and attentive . all around a very good meal .

i ' m almost afraid to write this review because i don ' t want my special new place in manistee to get too discovered - but it ' s too good to not share ! iron works cafe is a gem of a place in a unique setting - that of . . .

while driving through town , we stopped at iron works . the food was wonderful . the roast veggie medley was amazing , as well as the chicken sandwich , and everything locally sourced and prepared fresh . i would definitely recommend this place

the concept : eating healthy and local is done easier when it is done as part of a community . the iron works cafe strives to provide a gathering place that features local flavors and helps the community convene around simple , scratch - cooked food .

we have chosen the iron works for breakfast . we really enjoyed it , no mainstream , just healthy and very good food . there are always some specials prepared according your wishes . the service is very friendly and fast . in any case a good recommendation .

where does our name come from ? the cafe will be located in the iron works building on the east end of river street , manistee ' s equivalent of the b . o . b . ( big old building ) . in 1907 , this fabulous building was brand spanking new but finally shut its doors in 1981 when ex - cell - o , maker of small machine parts , stopped its operations in manistee . many of you will recognize the old photos that will be featured at the cafe .

what a sweet place to find ! i was traveling through from near traverse city and was looking for a local spot with fresh ingredients and delicious food . iron works delivered ! ! i got in there 5 minutes before they closed and the staff there were so kind and welcomed me right in . i got the butternut squash waffle , hash , and pork belly . it was so good . iron works was working it ! they exist to bless their community , too . good hearts and good food . if i lived there i ' d be there every week !

cute new place that offers delicious , healthy food and that gives back to the community . not your typical menu items ( which is a good thing ) . my wife and i had breakfast at the iron works cafe ; she had the farmers omelette and i had the butternut squash waffle . both came with a side of root vegetable hash that was fantastic . best coffee in town ; it ' s provided for free by higher grounds coffee in traverse city and the iron works cafe offers it for free to customers and asks you consider a donation which goes to the local food pantry . service was fast and friendly and this will be a must stop for us next time we ' re in manistee .

what a gem ! this place is not just special for manistee , but for west michigan . the owner is so friendly and welcoming ,

all of the staff at iron works made our experience the best . the food was served hot & with a smile . i ' d recommend the pork sandwich - tasty ! the menu had great variety , if a bit limited . each meal seemed well - balanced with care taken to bring out flavors of the locally - sourced seasonal ingredients . i ' ll be back ! ! ! !

chef al brings extensive experience to iron works cafe . in 2011 , he was project manager of a 6000 - square foot renovation for dc kitchen ' s new fresh start catering and commissary space . from 2002 - 2007 , he was owner operator of aldo’s italian steakhouse , a renovation project in falls church , virginia that involved concept development , budgeting , employee training and everything else it takes to run a successful restaurant .

the biggest risk of this project is that the public does not support the cafe . we can do great things if the people of manistee will work with us to help those in need .

we are so excited to have found a breakfast spot in manistee where the coffee is excellent along with delicious food ! we started out with a lavender lemon cookie and zesty lemon blueberry muffin . perfect !

highly recommend the farmers scramble and blueberry waffle . excellent food , farm to fork , community gar - eden , awesome creative flavors , great space to love and be loved . if you visit manistee , put th

. and the food - the harvest pumpkin waffle was the special that day , and i was in heaven ! came complete with root veggie hash and turkey links . this will be a new manistee tradition for me .

we ' ve been bicycling / camping around upper michigan that past week , and have encountered - - based on tips from locals - - some truly outstanding eateries . today , for lunch , we pedaled our bamboo tandem up the road from ludington to manistee , fighting a mild headwind , and once in town , turned east down the main drag to the iron works . we were greeted by very friendly , enthusiastic , and helpful staff , and ordered a black bean burger and a tipsy whitefish sandwich . sue says her black bean burger , with heirloom tomato , arugula , and garlic aioli , was the best burger evah ! my whitefish with bourbon bbq sauce was really really good , too . we cannot recommend this place highly enough . try it .

in addition , the students will help out in the gardens operated by manistee community kitchen and will visit participating farmers . this will give students a new appreciation of where and how food is grown ~ and the opportunity to get their hands dirty .

it is always a pleasure for my wife and i to visit the iwc . danni , kirstie and staff are creative , hard working and a breath of fresh air to the manistee food scene . thanks for great food and great spirit of community .

we tried the new breakfast joint in town on one of our weekend trips to manistee . the food was great and it was a total added bonus to learn when we got there that they are part of a mission to feed the community in . . .

the iron works cafe is one of the most well kept , kind and generous businesses in town . everything is fresh and local . dani and her team do an amazing job of offering healthy yet creative menu items that are always a hit . my absolute favorite part of this establishment is that they offer a " pay ahead " type of deal , where you can " donate " meals to others . simply walk in and ask to " pay it forward " 5 , 10 , and even 15 dollar increments , fill out a card and boom you ' re done ! they make it so easy to be generous : )

just outside our windows . . this is a unique cafe in many ways . this non profit organization is working to fight hunger and obesity in manistee county . along the way we celebrate art , food , music , community , and kindness . . open weds - sunday 8 - 3

take note - - manistee should be incredibly proud of iron works ! it ' s mission is both vital and beneficial : to offer delicious , healthy , locally - sourced food , prepared and served by members of the community , with an added emphasis on helping those in need ( free soup nights , donation - based coffee , food vouchers for those who need a meal but can ' t afford the regular cost , etc ) . the interior of the cafe has been thoughtfully and tastefully designed , with shiny wooden tables and mason jars of fresh wild flowers . because they are still in the start - up phase , the menu is still limited , but we enjoyed the iron worker sandwich ( barbequed chicken and slaw on multigrain bread ) , the savory veggie chips , and the iced tea . everything tasted fresh and small batch - - no preservatives , microwaves , or cans of industrial glop in sight ! the staff was hardworking , pleasant , and happy to discuss the provenance of all of the ingredients . if you are in the giving mood and want to juice up your karma bank , you can buy prepaid food vouchers for community members who are hungry and in need of a helping hand . we left the cafe feeling nourished in both body and spirit !

saw this place on trip advisor weeks ago while planning the lake michigan circle tour and could not to get here . such a great atmosphere , staff , food and in the repurposed area of manistee . gotta come back . had the hen and goat and farmers skillets breakfast . the veggie hash is phenomenal . great start to a awesome motorcyclists day !

there is a reason that this place consistently gets 5 star reviews . it is unique , great food , community oriented , great location and wonderful staff . so glad i found this on yelp . we had breakfast here on our last day in manistee and wanted to do a fun breakfast before driving back to the chicago area . our family had the scrambled egg wraps , pancakes with yogurt , homemade granola and real maple syrup , and the butternut squash waffle with veggie hashbrowns . too bad we did not go for lunch sometime . lunch looked just as creative .

great concept , nonprofit restaurant that serves farm to table healthy delicious food . we had the garbanzo bean soup ( wonderful ) , the scrambled egg turkey sausage wrap and the pita with root vegetables , fresh greens and veggies which was topped with fresh sauerkraut and garlic aioli . everything was fantastic . versatile menu . so grateful we found this place . they have a takeout menu as well . would be an easy gourmet food pickup as it ' s a block east off 31 for travelers driving through manistee to places further north . staff were delightful and the place had a cool vibe . plenty of parking . highly recommend !

manistee just keeps getting better and better with all its local businesses and this is another great addition . first the food is exceptional . . . i can ' t get over their squash hash - healthier than potatoes and so much flavor . i could eat it at every meal . i got the scrambled egg wrap which was just so delicious . the hash was inside of it along with a bunch of other goodness . i put some of their green salsa on it for a little kick . my family got the special skillet and the hen and the goat and no one was disappointed . the coffee is " free " - donations to the community kitchen welcome and with a $ 20 donation you get a bag of free trade coffee . they also have a pay it forward donation program where you donate $ 10 and that helps someone in need get a meal . the staff is fantastic and totally into what they ' re doing for the community . i can ' t get over how awesome this place is . support local and keep this open !

however , after a dispute that included legal proceedings , ray eventually became president of the company and constructed a new building on the corner of ashland and jones streets in 1887 . in 1907 the firm expanded again and another building was constructed on land located south of the 1887 structure .

in 1953 both the business and the building were acquired by the michigan tool company which operated machine shops in both detroit and traverse city .

by the mid - 1960s , michigan tool had been bought out by ex - cell - o , a troy based company which specialized in making small machine parts for other machines .

today , the building has been used by a michigan movie / production company as a studio space , and has also housed a cafe and with adjacent outdoor community garden .

just had about the best lunch i ' ve had in 60 + years ! the buffalo chicken wrap and sweet potato hash , perfectly done and spiced . thanks !

went here for breakfast and had the southwest scramble and it was great . the restaurant uses fresh local foods and is locally owned . i was a little leery about the root hash , but it turned out to be great . their salsa and coffee are also . . .

we were on the road from up north and looked at trip advisor for places for lunch along our route . as soon as i saw ‘local focus’ and ‘not for profit’ , well . . . the decision was easy ! know that they are only open wed - sunday ( so , closed mon . . .

small , unassuming diner run by a non - profit organization with the goal of bringing healthy , local food to the community . example : instead of fried potatoes , we had a ( not fried ) vegetable hash with our perfectly spiced pumpkin pancakes . coffee was also exceptional ( i ' m fussy about coffee ) . . . .

this eatery is in an old factory . it ' s not big but we had no trouble getting a seat around 12 : 30 on a friday . the butternut squash waffle was terrific , i tried a companion ' s . i had the chicken salad , chunky chicken & not too much mayo . . . .

we had the chicken salad with homemade ranch dressing and tomato soup . we also had the grill cheese with tomato soup . great food and great service ! we also took home two muffins : )

stopped in for breakfast , and was immediately greeted by friendly staff . the food was fantastic - - i had a southwest scramble with veggie hash , and my mom had butternut squash waffles with a fruit compote . both were fantastic . this establishment is actually a non - profit that supports . . .

( how anyone can be that perky in the morning is beyond me but then again i ' m not a morning person . ) the scrambler with their housemade root vegi hash is sooooo good . the kids menu is one of the best i ' ve seen , with fresh healthy choices . the pancake had hints of cinnamon and nutmeg . i can ' t wait to go back . may go back tomorrow .

we stumbled into this place looking for coffee . seemed cute so we went back the next day for sunday brunch . so much fun . the setting is great , in the old ironworks . food : one of us had a dish that was kind of an egg in a basket but with goat cheese and basil that elevated this simple dish to something divine . the earth element on the plate was delicious root vegetable hash . the other of us had a " pancake rollup " - - crepes around fresh fruit and creamy stuff with something savory something maybe . like some herbs ? who knows how they did it . but it was delicious and more subtle than you would expect at first bite . this is a community restaurant . they list their principles on a card at the table . sourcing locally , paying well , giving back to the community . so eating there you feel part of some nice paradigm shift , expressed in a way that makes the dining experience taste all the sweeter . the staff and management are both thinky and delightful . if may is waiting on you , don ' t miss the chance for some good conversation with her .

this place is nice . the server was friendly , knowledgeable , and took great care of us . the food was delicious . i had the wrap which was very flavorful and perfectly portioned . my wife had the special , pecan raisin french toast and added berries . delicious as well . this place is clean and quaint with great food and a wonderful atmosphere . the coffee was also pretty good . no negatives . there seems to be some mystery behind the " hash " and other diners were questioning it . it ' s root vegetables chopped up in 1 / 2 " cubes and grilled like american fries . did i mention it is delicious . it ' s not greasy , frozen , potatoes like most diners . it ' s awesome , locally sourced vegetables that most don ' t experience in a lifetime ( sad ) . keep up the good work iwc ! !

cute little cafe that ' s also a nonprofit . very friendly and helpful staff and tasty sandwiches .

wow ! ! what a great healthy delicious organic cafe ! ! we are living in denver and this is right up our alley . we ate the fish sandwich was delicious , chicken salad on salad was great , homemade chips are great , homemade chicken noodle soup was really amazing great noodles ! had turkey sausage and yogurt parfait all was very flavorful quality ingredients ! this place is a gem

this place is fantastic ! excellent service with an even better mission . healthy food made from home grown ingredients . can truly say you feel good about what you ate after eating here . farmers scramble and rolled pancakes are delicious . most ingredients grown onsite in the garden . as a heads up , its cash only so come prepared . will visit again next time we ' re in town .

food was delicious and healthy , service was great . i feel like they don ' t get as much foot traffic being on the other side of river street , but it ' s healthy , delicious and affordable so definitely worth checking out .

cutest , friendliest , most environmentally friendly place in town ! the customer service is the best ! menu is completely seasonal , food is fresh and local . the menu is diverse , picky eaters can find something they ' ll like ( i . e . chicken and the hen ) . cute and very clean atmosphere . they have a back room perfect for larger parties . ultimately , it ' s a non - profit seeking to combat hunger and obesity . they have a special place in my heart !

food was soooooo good and loved all the locally sourced menu options . the staff was amazing and knowledgeable .

this cafe is in a barn or former bank in a small lakeside town . we stopped here while driving the michigan coast . the town and the eatery are so pretty ! the staff are on top of their game ! our server had the details of the whole menu memorized , fielded all of our questions , worked to accommodate every request , and was extremely friendly , i was impressed by her energy level ! the breakfast was so yummy ; it has been a month since we were there but i think we had some sort of squash waffle with fruit , chili , and perhaps a scramble . it was all tasty and we rested easy knowing that the food was sourced mindfully and that the restaurant really embedded itself as part of the local community .

the building has been given a clean bill of health , ready for renovations that will transform its southwest corner into a cafe serving nutritious and interesting dishes made with fresh , local products . your kickstart donation will purchase the equipment and building materials to get the work underway . to round out the construction budget , several grant applications are waiting approval . a team of volunteers , under the leadership of chef al frye , is working alongside professional contractors , stretching every dollar that is pledged .

a training class will be held at least weekly with chef al and coach rita , who will work with each student to evaluate past progress and lay out lesson plans for the next week . over a four - month period , students will work in all aspects of the business , using curriculum developed and provided by the national restaurant association .

their unremarkable nature seemed to reflect their home city . leicester , a racially diverse , modestly prosperous city of 330 , 000 people 100 miles north of london , is famous for david attenborough , its excellent local cheese , and the odd pop star – engelbert humperdinck , anyone ? – but it’s hardly a soccer hotbed . its rugby club , the tigers , is arguably just as popular . leicester , like most of the region , lacks a strong cultural identity : for east midlanders , people from the south think you’re from the north , and people from the north think you’re from the south . in fact , leicester might be most notable for the fact that people outside the uk can’t say its name right . ( it’s pronounced less - ter . )

both of them felt there was a need in la for what granic calls , " a safe place for the deviants , a place where gay and straight nightlife wasn ' t so compartmentalized but instead encouraged to mingle . " for alexander , accr is neither a gay club nor a straight club nor even a bisexual club , but rather , " all that and more ; it ' s a place where you can go to shed those labels and break down those walls in the interest of having a good time . " there ' s a real effort to make a mess of neat sexual identities and create something more fluid . " everybody is an opportunity , " alexander says .

things have changed a lot in johannesburg since the ' 90s . khati returned to the city in 2012 and found that most of the clubs she knew had disappeared : " downtown johannesburg was like a ghost town . " on the upside , however , she noted a lot more visibility of gay men on the streets of the city . " young , pretty and very fashionable black queers . this was great to see , although sadly there is still a lot of brutal violence against black lesbians , which i believe to be connected to patriarchy . "

in her profile for premiere , johanna schneller writes that the first time norton fully smiles during the interview is when he starts recounting the ridiculous simplification him and pitt would use to describe " fight club .

"

david fincher gave an in depth description to film comment in 1999 , about what inspirations went into creating the " fight club " look , most of which involved making things dirtier . one popular convenience store was specifically named by the director :

enterprise car club website or mobile app . search for and reserve a vehicle at a moment ' s notice , or weeks in advance at any time of the day or week ; simply unlock the cars and vans with your smartphone app or contactless access card , retrieve the keys from the glovebox ( protected with your own designated pin ) and drive off . at the end of your reservation , simply return the vehicle to its original location for the next person to use after you have safely locked and ended your trip .

being queer wasn ' t easy during the ' 80s and ' 90s—especially in the townships surrounding johannesburg . " it was pretty much a no - go to declare that you were anything other than heterosexual . there were terribly violent consequences for anyone that came off as even mildly camp . " the main queer - friendly house clubs during the ' 90s were in the more affluent white districts , such as 4th world , johannesburg ' s first dedicated house club , embassy club and idols .

in contrast to the us , disco in the uk had a substantial straight , white , working class following back in the ' 70s , which left fertile ground for acid house to take root and become a national ( and then international ) phenomenon . starting around 1985 , chicago house began to appear in the uk , at northern soul as well as all - night warehouse parties in manchester . acid house quickly became popular in london . the gay nightclub heaven was one of the first venues to host acid house nights . in 1987 , danny rampling ' s shoom became the first club with exclusive acid house programming , opening in the city after rampling returned from holidays in ibiza with paul oakenfold and nicky holloway . a year later , holloway would open another acid house club , trip .

city ' s chief executive , james finlayson , said it was a strategic acquisition which will allow " our current and future members to have access to our cars in most major uk cities . buying whizzgo was a key move and one we have been looking to make for some time . "

there ' s certainly a lot to say about berlin ' s electronic music scene , which is a mess of overlapping party circuits that bring together gay men , lesbians , transpeople , ethnic queers , straight folks and others—albeit rarely all in the same club .

on a facebook post about a farmer market back in 2010 , townsend commented about her business , " we are professional soap makers and made all the soaps for the movie ' fight club . ' they actually discovered us at a farmer ' s market ! "

they were part of a generation of primarily black and gay djs that brought new dj techniques and sounds from places like nyc and chicago . throughout the ' 70s , detroit ' s dance scene was divided along sexual and racial lines : ken collier used to play at the downstairs pub , in the basement of the upscale disco club l ' esprit , but it was the set lists of the white dj upstairs that appeared in vince aletti ' s " disco files " column . collier would later go on to hold a saturday night residency at the gay after - hours club heaven until his death in the mid - ' 90s . gholz reports that many of detroit ' s " techno pioneers " saw collier as a mentor and " godfather " of dj culture in the city , but he gets little more than a passing mention in the history books ( see

at the start of the season , bookmakers had leicester at an incredible 5 , 000 - 1 to win the premier league – greater than the odds on kim kardashian becoming the next us president . and yet it didn’t seem outlandish . leicester’s best performance in their entire history was second place in 1928 - 29 ; in the premier league era they’d never been higher than eighth . last year , only a last - gasp escape from the relegation zone kept them in the top flight . their history is one of a moderate provincial club , shorn of star names , bobbing between the first and second tier , eclipsed by their more famous east midlands rivals forest and derby . riyad mahrez , their skinny - legged star who grew up in the northern paris suburbs , admitted when he joined that he’d never even heard of leicester city . “i thought they were a rugby club , ” he said .

. more recently smart bar , chicago ' s longest - running dance music club , has inaugurated a gay night ( queen ! ) and a classics - oriented , vinyl - only night ( hugo ball ) , both of which have been attracting crowds from different generations , sexualities and ethnicities .

there ' s something ironic about chicago ' s mostly - white and heterosexual raver community finding out about their own city ' s queer , black musical heritage through a magazine printed on the other side of the atlantic . but it ' s also not entirely surprising : chicago ' s urban landscape has been racially divided for decades , and it still

there ' s also much more to be said about ethnically - oriented events that go beyond dance music ' s history of black - or - white racial politics , such the queer south asian and middle eastern dance events found in many cities : gayhane ( berlin ) ; jai ho ( chicago ) ; besharam and rangeela ( toronto ) ; urban desi and club kali ( london ) , sholay and color me queer ( new york city ) . and we never even got to cover the vibrant " sissy bounce " scene in new orleans , with big freedia , sissy nobby and a whole new twerking generation of queer , gender - whatever performers .

" it was so bizarre , " reflects thaemlitz . " around 1997 , disney just came in and bought 42nd street . literally . the sex district was gone within just a few months . i remember disney had one of their fucking electric parades down 42nd , and they had so much political clout that the city actually turned off all the streetlights for them . i mean , that may not sound like a big deal , but to anyone who did activist work and had heard endless bullshit from cops and city officials about safety regulations , fire codes and all kinds of crazy shit to limit the movement of protestors , it really laid bare the relations between commerce , politics and the construction of mobility within ' public spaces . ' "

ccc also works to keep their members preoccupied by organizing multiple trips and driving rallies each year . the club does all the planning , the members pay the tab , and the next thing they know , they ' re putting down laps in rented nissan gtr ' s as the world - famous nürburgring nordschliefe in germany .

it all depends on when you want to drive , what you want to drive , and what membership you have . because ccc ' s system works off a point system , each time you take out a car , points are deducted from your account . when you hit 0 points , ccc will ask you to top up so that you can remain an active member .

he added : “we were keen to acquire whizzgo’s locations in key cities in the north of england which will now enlarge our base for future expansion and this dovetails perfectly with our strategy of growing our network both outside , as well as inside , of london . our enlarged network will be able to deliver new member benefits and accelerated growth to the burgeoning car - sharing industry”

all driving members get unlimited , 24 / 7 access to their chic soho clubhouse location . ccc also has a ' happy hour ' event almost every week in the clubhouse , which all members are invited to for free drinks . members usually see it as a great opportunity for networking and for meeting new friends and other car people . again , where else does this happen ?

in 1990 , she attended her first rave , at an old disused cinema in the district of yeoville , recalling it as , " a religious experience [ that ] would profoundly change my life . " before the age of 20 , she founded planet hendon , a club in a space above a coffee shop where she worked . " we had a long tradition of black women running drinking holes—called shebeens , " says khati , " and the women that ran these illegal boozers were known as the shebeen queens . " in a way , she was continuing a family tradition by running a club , since her grandmother ran a jazz shebeen in the 1950s .

but one more win , and the title is leicester’s . it’s not in the city’s nature to brag and boast , but this time they’ll allow themselves a celebration . everyone in leicester is “backing the blues” . “if we win the league , you’re going to see the biggest party you’ve ever seen in this country , ” james ferrar , a leicester supporter , told the guardian’s simon hattenstone .

by the beginning of the ' 90s , the first rave events were being organized in new york ( storm rave ) and toronto ( exodus ) . with chicago house ' s sudden success in europe , the city ' s first generation of house djs were constantly busy with overseas bookings , and so a younger generation of chi - town djs carried the torch into the midwest rave scene .
