For those fortunate enough to experience it, 2288 Beckley Road was more then an address. It was a state of mind, and epoch, and a magical place filled with love, laughter and tears. Today it exists only in our hearts but will it forever belong to us and be our home.

Although I coopted my grandgparents' former address for the name of my website, it is not specifically about them, but about me and my life, favorite things (family and friends) , and primarily consists of my blog and photographs, old and new, of special people in my life and the places and people I have encountered in my life's journey. The blog, the most active aspect of the site, contains the random thoughts, passions, and rantings of a fortunate man pursing his personal truths and happiness. The goal is to share this with an uninterested public. My name is Chris Willi - Welcome to 2288 Beckley Rd.

This site is dedicated to the former residents of 2288 Beckley Rd, Battle Creek, Michigan, Karl and Margaret Willi, with much love and gratitude for significantly helping to shape the person I am today. I love and miss you both.
