Good morning, Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo’s Stuart Historic Homes Tour returned on Oct.

4th after an 11-year stop, giving visitors a chance to tour Victorian homes, a historic school, antique stores and the city’s oldest burial ground—ticket proceeds will support the tour and fund a new community park.

An injured Lakeshore JV football player met with the Kalamazoo Central player who injured him—along with both of their fathers—on Saturday afternoon to clear up the issues caused by a viral video.

A father apologized for his son's actions during a Kalamazoo Central junior varsity football game on October 5th after the 15-year-old jumped onto an opponent and caused a severe spine injury — he said the viral video with racist slurs and violent threats has worsened the consequences his son now faces. Community members are watching the board's disciplinary process closely as they call for fair and compassionate treatment.
