Kalamazoo Department of Zombie Removal makes people smile
Emily Midling wasn’t thrilled with the beat-up Ford Explorer she bought in August, reports the Kalamazoo Gazette. She needed to spice it up a little.
“I wanted to make it fun to drive,” said Midling, 22, who grew up in Kalamazoo.
That’s the story of how the “Kalamazoo County Department of Zombie Removal” detailing on her car came to be. Midling paid $100 for the very official-looking emblem on both sides of the 1998 black SUV.
Excerpt:
Wherever Midling goes, she gets stares or bemused grins from strangers who notice the car parked at the North Westnedge Avenue Meijer where she works in the deli or see her driving around town.
Police have pulled her over just to admire her zombie-mobile. Teenagers crowd around it in the parking lot and pull out their camera phones. Photos of Midling’s car even appeared on websites, such as collegehumor.com.
To find out about Midling’s interest in zombies, please read the rest of the story.
