It's in bad shape and says 1910 on it. Anybody know the history of this corner building?

Does anyone remember a bar called Harry's or Henry's in the Plymouth and Southfield area?

Thanks, Mike. Is that Lafayette?

Anyone have photos of Lafayette near E. Grand Blvd. from anytime before the 1940's?

Detroitnerd, you're right on in all of your posts. Especially about Bouchard.

You're right, DetroitNerd. Sad.

I agree all, but back to the original premise - if you're going to tear down a DPS school and rebuild it, how did MLK High School get selected? That's all I was curious about. Lots of other crappy...

DPS says it's being paid for with Obama economic stimulus funds:

I found these details of the construction project although, understandably, they don't include an explanation why it was decided this particular school deserved reconstruction more than other...

Hmmm. I wonder if they have a new way of construction that would mitigate any problems caused by building on a Parent's Creek site. Otherwise, the new building will have problems, too.

There are a zillion DPS school buildings that have to be in worse shape than MLK High School. So why is this one being rebuilt instead?

Sorry, but I'm not up to date on this issue as you can see. Who's Adamo?

??? Anybody know why they decided the building is so bad it needs to be torn down?

Noticed it this morning.

I miss it, too, mikefmich. :[[ Agreed.

Mikefmich, you're right, there is plenty not to like today that was nearly nonexistent in 1903. But I look at it as which negatives are you willing to live with? when you look back with nostalgia at...

thanks, mikeM

what was at 5725 Woodward in 1937? Does anyone have access to city dir. to check? It looks like there's nothing on the site where that address should be, possibly across the street from Showtime.

Detroitteacher, hats off to you. How can people villify you for being lazy and overpaid for a cushy job? Fox news is so good at making lies believable.

Goat, no other profession is scapegoated as much as teachers are. That's what makes them different from mechanics, etc. Detroitteacher, you describe beautifully what it's really like to be a teacher....

My God, what district allows cell phones ON in the classroom? Where does she work?

Mauser, you're exactly right on every point you make, although I disagree with your asides about the UAW. But that's not the focus of this thread.

Two things are different now and you touch so...

You're right on, j.

Snyder should want to hear about funding for an idea first. Budgets are priority statements and what's funded is what's deemed important. Things don't happen without...

Anybody remember or know stories of local wrestling on TV in Detroit in the 1940s and 50s?

Props to Ann Delisi, but I do wish she would SLOW DOWN how she talks and breathe once in awhile. She always sounds like she's in a panic and all her sentences run together. It sounds unnatural. When...
