WCSX 3rd Annual Bonfire at Heritage Park: Wayne County - Taylor
Wayne County - Taylor History
The community of Wayne County - Taylor was originally a part of Ecorse Township. Taylor became and independent entity and chose the name Taylor in 1847. They named themselves in honor of war hero Zachary Taylor. Two years later, he became President Zachary Taylor.
Taylor's roots go back to the 1800s, but they didn't become a city until 1968. A lot of Michigan communities became cities in this same time period.
The Gateway Bridge in Wayne County - Taylor is a sight we all know. Built in 2006 preceding Detroit's hosting of Superbowl 2006, the bridge's design includes football shapes.
Joel's Taylor Notes:
I ran into Classic Rocker, Marleen, outside of Skylar Laundromat- (It looks like a very cool laundromat!) she stopped me to ask how Screamin' Scott Randall is and I let her know that he's as rockin' as ever! I even hooked her up with some WCSX stickers and a poster, too!
Heritage Park is always a great destination when visiting Taylor- they call it "The Jewel of the City", and they are right! It's a massive, beautiful park with so many cool attractions! It has a small village of antique buildings like a school house, wedding chapel (that you can rent to host your wedding!) There is also a pond you can fish in, a Conservatory and Botanical Garden, a Petting Farm (closed on Mondays, fyi!) and so much more!
It would not be a real City of the Week in Taylor without stopping at A & B Locksmith to visit my man John aka "The Key Master" of Taylor. I don't know if they really call John the Key Master, but I think it would be a cool title because I love Ghostbusters, and that was a thing in that movie - haha! Seriously, John and his family have been serving Wayne County - Taylor for 50 years! Thanks for rockin' with WCSX, John!

Heeeeey- You eat like a cow!!! You can pet this hungry, hungry cow at the Taylor Petting Farm! It is a really cool little FARM, with a barn and everything!
This Dude is the GOOOAAAAT! I didn't catch his name, but check out that photogenic smile!! He was a very friendly and seemed to be "The Star" of the Taylor Petting Farm!
"The Key Master" of Taylor! Joe at A&B Locksmith goes way back to the the first Taylor "City of the Week"! Joe has been a loyal WCSX rocker over the years, and it's always cool to visit him when WCSX rolls into Taylor!
A flock of Canadian Geese fly in for a smooth landing on the fishing pond at Heritage Park. You can actually fish at the pond- but it's catch and release!
Joel MorganHeritage Park is the recreation capital of Taylor! There is so much to do there!
