I worked at the federal Center. They retained a lot of the original building inside. The dining room has original crystal chandeliers. The original Italian water fountain. This is used by the employees. Original wallpaper I believe from Asia is on the walls. The entryway where you were walking is Gorgeous. Gold leaf pillars, balcony, etc. The Italian original marble staircases are throughout the building. They have Public Tours of the building. I know you would be fascinated. It's amazing. This Building shows the quality, craftmanship, and attention to detail that was once a hallmark of great buildings.
I was born n raised in Battle Creek Michigan. That's Capital ave S.W. on the south side. I haven't seen Battle Creek in 14 years it looks so different. I moved to Phoenix Arizona in 2005 at the age of 28. Lived in Battle Creek & Kalamazoo area for the first 28 years of my life. Thank you for the video it makes me think of memories i had in Battle Creek.

Whats crazy is you past by another cereal factory at about 2:45 . Ralstons! Went from ralston purina to ralstons to Con Agra foods, to Treehouse foods then abrupt closing in 2009 or 10 forcing me to look for employment elsewhere 😭 RIP to Ralston Foods and all the people it affected when closing its doors and shutting down. RIP Jacob Hanley and Gabriel Mix!
The former Kellogg Sanitorium was used as a veterans hospital during World War II and it has been a federal office building since at least the 1960s if not longer. It is home to several defense department offices. West of town there is a military installation called Fort Custer and a military cemetery with over 30,000 graves.
Sorry Welldwyer but you information is wrong just like most of this video. The Kellogg Sanitarium not Sanitorium (1876). Fell into receivership about 1929 after the Stock Market Crash. It was operated on a limited basis until WWII when the Army Purchased it as a gen. med/surg hospital with specialties in Orthopedics and Rehabilitation (for the wounded and amputies, and those who lost eyes. It was renamed the Percy Jones Army Hospital. until after the Korean War when the Gov't Services Dept took it over, and it served several Gov't Depts (ie Civil Defense, Supplies and Distribution, etc) It became the Federal Center. The Veteran's Hospital at Fort Custer (between BC and Galesburg) was always a Service Members Mental Facility originally purposed for shell shocked Veterans (today PTSD). Recently Closed. In 1917 they also built an entire Hospital out at Camp Custer (later Fort Custer) to serve the troops in training and to train Army Medical Personel for WWI, to include Medics.
You drove passed my cousin house. Thank you for making me remember all the great places. To most people Battle Creek, Michigan is a dirty and poor town. To me it’s where I grew up and is my hometown.
I had visited this city in 2014 for a business trip.... just stumbled on this video while searching something regarding Battle Creek. I loved the stay then but couldn't explore much. Thanks for the memories.
Hahaha. That was funny when you said. Well we’ve certainly seen where all the cereal production is here. Cuz you hadn’t seen any of it yet. Except raslton purina.
Anybody know where the Hi-Lo Club is or was? Charles Weedon Westover, Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, moved to Battle Creek when he got out of the army after being drafted in 1954. He started his music career playing rhythm guitar at the Hi-Lo Club for the house band called The Moonlight Ramblers. From those humble beginnings he would go on to change his name to Del Shannon and have a number one hit with Runaway.
Yeah. You should not have been able to video record at a department of defense facility. The security obviously was way too lax that day you should have been escorted off the property actually. This building was locked down the day of the Oklahoma City bombing as a potential target in all the barriers out front were added at that time. You could no longer drop off or pick up employees in the little roundabout to the right of the pillared front of the building.
Y’all should have swinged by my town Kalamazoo! It’s a historic little gem about 15 miles west of Battle Creek. The original Gibson guitar factory is in our downtown. It’s probably the most historic guitar ever made. We are also home to Western Michigan University and several other higher education schools. It is also mentioned in several songs. My favorite is Joe Strummer of The Clash Trash City. It’s just a fun word to say!
There’s not much cereal business going in Battle Creek anymore. Post and Kellogg are on the east side of town. You did almost get to post and Kellogg while touring the worst parts of Battle Creek. 😂 You even managed to find crappy parts I didn’t know were here.
Sir I have not seen an video about BC with so much misinformation spewed as if it were fact. Google a few things and redub your video. You did not even drive just to the east side of town where the Kellogg and Post Factories are located.
Prompted me to open my new box of Kellog's K NOURISH cereal with apple, raspberry and almond and multi grain flakes with quinoa ..... fascinating video. Maybe it's an unsafe city for women because Tony the Tiger must be making the men "feel their oats" ... gorgeous "old school" buildings. A+A+A+
Have a Good Evening Rosie n Dee. Good Luck tomorrow on your travels into Toronto 🙏 everything is good. Happy Happy Birthday pretty lady and many many more😘😘😘
Wow!! Some more great info from our girl!!! ( and her partner). Lol. Ty Rosie and Dee. HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!! I’ll be thinking of you first thing when I get up! Good luck crossing into Canada!! XXOO
Most certainly is a man. I used to do anesthesia in Detroit for gender reassignment surg. We all said you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day it is still.... Every cell in his body contains XY chromosome (male) You all should see what a mutilation job the genitals look like. They fool these poor people into believing they can look normal..sad. M to F maybe a little but F-M simply disfigurement.

Thanks for the memories.
Also the birthplace of professional wrestler, Rob Van Dam.

-- Probably shouldn't tell you this, but if you think the Federal Center is massive, you should see the basement levels. They reach out everywhere.
Thank you

They've completely remodeled the Battle Creek Tower, including the lobby at the top of the escalators that you saw when you entered.

I visited everywhere... move on
@@rosieokelly I understand, volume not quality.
You missed a beautiful atrium in that tall building.
Also the final resting place of Sojourner Truth. She spent the last sixteen years of her life in Battle Creek.
Prompted me to open my new box of Kellog's K NOURISH cereal with apple, raspberry and almond and multi grain flakes with quinoa ..... fascinating video. Maybe it's an unsafe city for women because Tony the Tiger must be making the men "feel their oats" ... gorgeous "old school" buildings. A+A+A+
Interesting, I didnt realize the inventor of Post cereal eventually committed suicide.
W.k. Kellogg made cereal. John Harvey Kellogg was the health nut who operated the sanitarium
Would you go or have you been to Hershey, PA? That would be kool...👍👍
