They continue their conversation about both eras of the property along with Taylor's project which is set to tell the tales of people who experienced the Club Ponytail in person. If you were someone who had the opportunity to experience the Club Ponytail at its peak, please reach out to Taylor himself on his website: www.taylordueweke.com/pony-tales -no matter how small of a story you have, he would love to speak with you! This conversation is timely as the property on which these two infamous clubs were located is currently up for sale and Taylor, along with his partner in the project Nate Graham (The realtor of the property) are looking for a buyer who will help protect and save the property from behind torn down and a new house being built. If you are someone interested in an investment in the history of Harbor Springs and Northern Michigan in general and have the funds, check out the property for sale yourself! We here at Tales of Northern Michigan's Past would love to see it preserved! https://www.grahamre.com/listing/472478-8470-pleasantview-lane-harbor-springs-mi-49740/
