This is nearby the sidewalk stamp featured in the previous blog entry, and was taken on the same walk near my work in Mount Pleasant. It’s on the west side of Watson Road between Preston and Crescent. It got my attention especially because my grandfather had a long and distinguished career with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company in Ann Arbor and Detroit.

As with the Bell System cover, this one bears a name no longer in use. MichCon, as it was commonly known, merged with DTE Energy (or as I knew it when I was young, Detroit Edison) in 2001, and in 2013 its name changed to DTE Gas.
