Cops and Doughnuts in Clare

This Cops and Doughnuts Bakery in Clare is legendary! It has been here since 1896 and when it was down on its luck and almost closed, nine police officers from Clare banded together in 2009 and rescued it. And, as they say, the rest is history. Now everyone comes for their homemade delicacies and their coffee and chitchat.  On the walls, are all kinds of interesting photos like the Purple Gang who apparently used to hang out in Clare. Last year they won the Michigan Municipal League 2011 Community Excellence Award.  You go, guys! Thanks, Matt, for the photo.
