The day's 366 Snaps photographic destination was Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge. This is a step on a stairway. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion and stats for December 5 .

This is the former Spotlight Theater in Fitzgerald Park, in Grand Ledge, Michigan. The Spotlight's last play was staged some time ago, but the signs at the park haven't acknowledged that. Presumably it will house some sort of theater company again. When I moved to the area, this was the Ledges Playhouse and was the summer home of Lansing's Boarshead Theater. Originally, it was the Grand Ledge Pavilion, and part of a Methodist summer camp. There are efforts underway to preserve/restore this building. And there's a more detailed history here .

Had to wait while my druggist filled a prescription yesterday, so I found myself wandering around downtown Grand Ledge with a camera. This cozy Pony League ballpark, called Fitzgerald Field, is tucked in beneath Bridge Street's bridge across the Grand River. This is a small, but fully functional, ballyard, with bleachers and dugouts and signs on the outfield fences. Needs some grass, though. Really quite cute. Shot this photo from the bridge; Second Island would be in sight if I'd pointed the camera to the right.
