The Parish House Inn, the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area B&B is "The Real McCoy"

The Parish House Inn, the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area bed and breakfast is located in the second oldest city in Michigan where many interesting events occurred. This is little know fact I share in recogition of Black History month this February.
Elijah McCoy (1843-1929) who was a resident of Ypsilanti and an African-American, was the inventor and patent holder for numerous mechanical devices including the self-lubricator known as "The Real McCoy"....meaning the real thing!

A visit to Historic Ypsilanti will surprise you.

Notes from the Innkeeper of the Parish House Inn, and Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area bed and breakfast

Notes from the Innkeeper;

At the Parish House Inn bed and breakfast in Ypsilanti, Michigan, right next to Ann Arbor, it's a cold day in January, so I thought it was a great time to try out my new bread machine. The oatmeal bread with cranberries and walnuts will be delicious toast for breakfast tomorrow...along with the cheese omelets and fried potatoes. The aroma of fresh bread is just heavenly! Wish you were here...
