On February 1, the #RecoveryInstitute at 1020 S. Westnedge Ave. in #VineNeighborhood plans to relocate to 123 S. Westnedge Ave. in @DowntownKazoo, currently the Vision Eye Care ophthalmology clinic. Their current building was constructed in 1966 for the Steinman Realty Company.

Their new office will be next to the W. Michigan Ave. Shell gas station and across from the former Saugatuck Brewing Company - Kalamazoo location.

The fountain and metal sculpture at their current location were completed circa 1972 by Carol Harrison. Watch a video about that art work at
