Old Freight Depot has new owner

We are glad to see new buildings going up in Albion, but also to see new life come to an old building that had been vacant. The old freight depot, behind the Albion Post Office, has come to life again, as Gina’s Pizza & Deli. Gina’s was formerly located near “Five Points” on Michigan Ave, and had been closed for a few weeks early in 2017 so that she could get her new location ready for business. The turn out has been great.
