OK, YOUR TURN! What i'm really looking for is stuff taken by residents, and families, not m*** produced stuff.

If anybody wants to go to silver beach pizza, it's closed on Tuesday. The place is well known for awesome pizza so the wife and drove up there for a pie only to find it locked up tight!

 

As a lifelong resident, I have boxes of pictures. Not going to scan and post them randomly. I guess it depends on what you are really looking for. You can go to many of the local town websites; they may have links to old picture archives. In your picture searches you can use town names too, instead of Berrien County. Different key words will help.

Downtown Benton Harbor Michigan

 

Most old towns have a historical society/museum staffed by long time residents that are a wealth of knowledge and have tons of photos and sometimes books. You can search by individual small towns or on a wider scale by the county. Start by entering a Google search of: "Berrien county Michigan historical society". There's a ton of stuff.
Same goes for the local library system.
Also check Facebook groups. Yeah, you'll have to join, but it may be worth it if they have a page that's active where you can post specific wants and get replies, photos shared by past or present residents. Someone may be able to share a name or address of one of your Dad's old hangouts...
