Comments on: Feedback and Suggestions http://www.muskegon-mi.gov/city-of-muskegon-new-website/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=city-of-muskegon-new-website Welcome to the Official City of Muskegon, Michigan Website Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:03:38 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dale H http://www.muskegon-mi.gov/city-of-muskegon-new-website/comment-page-4/#comment-5494 Dale H Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:24:03 +0000 http://www.muskegon-mi.gov/?p=1789#comment-5494 I was surprised to read in our church bulletin that individuals would be attending the next City Commission meeting to speak out against "The City of the Dead." As a member of Harbor Unitarian Universalist Congregation; I have seen the behind the scenes planning, the rehearsals, and heard the feedback from people who research the area's history. It is not an exploitation of Halloween, and an attempt to turn the Cemetary into a Stephen King novel. "The City of the Dead" uses volunteers to "bring back to life" some of the area's notable citizens that were buried there. It has educated me about some of Muskegon's history. As someone who moved to the area as an adult, I might otherwise never have learned that Hackley was more than the name of a street, a library, and a Hospital. I certainly had never heard the history of the area's breweries or the "Red Ribbon Society" that helped to put them out of business. This was a second year for "The City of the Dead." Attendance increased this year due to word of mouth. As we checked out of Plumbs a couple days ago, Joyce (our cashier) recognized my wife as one of the re-enactors and asked us to notify her in advance so that she could schedule a vacation day and attend it again next year. To date, I have yet to hear negative feedback from anyone who has participated or attended. The only negative feedback I hear is from people who don't want to see zombies and skeletons chasing people around a cemetary in the dark. It is not that type of event!

When an error in printing the bill occurs which makes a set of bills invalid, replacement notes are used instead. But no worries, the bills are worth the same as other bills without the star and in fact, they may be worth even more depending on the serial number pattern, such as 0101010101 - it's up to the collector to decide how much more the bill may be worth - likely, it's not worth more than face value.
