Here is one last entry from a recent walk in Mount Pleasant. I was walking around the subdivision southwest of Central Michigan University when I saw an unexplained curb cut. There are no sidewalks here, so it looks like a driveway apron, but perhaps narrower. I’m fascinated by quasi-secret or neglected passages, so I took photos of it, but forgot to note where it was located. It was somewhere around Glen or Highland or Crescent Street, I think.

The autumn leaf cover made it hard to see much, but it appeared not to have been used in a long time, if ever. I would have thought it was just a spot where they put in a cut for possible future development that didn’t happen, except that it was just possible to make out a couple of long wooden beams like railroad ties that might have originally served as edging to a path. The path – if it is one – has no obvious place to go and just disappears in the woods.

The closest house is this aggressively modern one to the right, though they don’t have any obvious connection to each other.
