A more local perspective from a local journalist about the closing of Bode's Corned Beef House in Plymouth, Michigan.

"The restaurant’s closure marks the end of a long and layered history at 280 N. Main St.

The building itself dates to 1868, constructed as a boarding house and hotel for railroad workers by E. Gottleib Bode."

Bode's Corned Beef House closing in Plymouth after 65 years

Bode's is closing after more than 60 years in Plymouth. Here's what the owner had to say.

Observer and Eccentric Newspapers and Hometown Weeklies

Oh no! Sad news about one of our local restaurants. I had breakfast there last month.

"Gave us 30 days to get out and terminate our staff, right in the midst of holidays.

We are very sad, end of an era, longest-running restaurant in Plymouth."

Christmas fundraiser to help staff will be held on December 15.

Does anyone in #PlymouthMI know if this house still does the big halloween display? I heard they stopped in 2020 due to COVID but I'm wondering if they are back to it.
