Hurray for quirky, small-town Americana, and films that introduce us to these weird/wonderful little places. The world around us seems to be spinning faster and faster and faster, into a monstrous techno-social cyclone, so it's heartening to know that little towns like Colon, Michigan still exist, seemingly isolated from the effects of time and so-called progress. Perhaps that is the true magic of this place...

Nice little document. I really had to crank up the volume on this one, but if that was the intention of the film maker to create a subdued ambiance than Bravo. Thanks.
