Just saw in several sources that 7-11 is buying Speedway, Marathon's retail gas operations. This comes not long after Marathon acquired Hess' retail operations and rebranded them as Speedways. It...
I spoke with a colleague whose wife got a ticket from MSP coming out of Home Depot with cans of paint but no essential items. I haven't seen any news reports of this. I guess if you run errands be...
Ran across this on YouTube, look for the Detroit filming location giveaways:

I really though the video was well-done, good humor and writing. ...
Yes! This is a huge pain - just had to go through it again on Friday. I can't understand why there could not just be a crosswalk through the arrivals road to the garage with a traffic cop or...
Saw in Bloomberg this morning that Icahn is moving and his company also [[employees who don't move lose their jobs apparently) to Florida to escape personal income tax. Florida's corp. tax is 1% less...
Maybe the answer is to get rid of the freeway speed traffic by tearing out M10 south of I-75 and returning surface traffic to Jefferson [[like 375). The ROW of M10 could be converted into a surface...
Based on the lack of progress in getting many people's power back on throughout the area I don't have a lot of faith in the strength of DTE's grid. It seems like a little rain and wind is enough to...
Yesterday I decided it was the day to renew my license and also get an enhanced version for air travel and border crossing.
I foolishly thought if I went there when they opened I could get in a...
Today the BH Menards opened after what seemed to me like a very long buildout. I've been watching for well over a year - I thought it would be open in the fall for Christmas but not until today is...
Fun fact - Mike Morse's sister hosts a SiriusXM show called Sex with Emily [[Morse). Really, life is stranger than fiction.

I think the reason that Chemical Bank wasn't the successor name is that there already was a Chemical Bank [[not the Michigan-based one) founded in New York in 1824 [[now part of JP Morgan Chase):

This weekend is the first for 2019 - M1 Concourse Cars & Coffee in Pontiac at Woodward and South Blvd. Sponsored by LaFontaine this year [[Car & Driver last year). Runs from 8:30am to 11am. A good...
I recently used the DTW McN terminal and fortunately was picked up at the curbside. What wasn't so fortunate was the tremendous amount of bird poop on the sidewalk, all over, at the curbside waiting...
During my commute I've noticed the most traffic on Wednesdays, even during the summer. I am thinking that a lot of people take Fridays off at least sometime rather than a long vacation and a lot of...

Just saw in Bloomberg, discussions about bonds being issued, date of completion pushed back to 2025:

It seems to me, when I was growing up back in the last century, that there were frequent severe storms this time of year. By severe, I mean tornado warnings, hail, green skies, frequent news...
Maybe with the Auto Show moving to the summer, the Christmas Festival could return to Cobo. I know winter blast is after the holidays, but maybe the Christmas Festival could be a kickoff for a bunch...
I clerked at that law office way back when, there is not a lot of parking available nearby to support the volume of restaurant customers, let alone workers, plus the apartment residents. Don't...
Don't forget a Menards is coming to Bloomfield Twp too, as part of the Village of Bloomfield. I think it is their first 2-story [[storey) store, similar in vein to the Target down the street.
Some Torontonians may own property in Florida, but Canadians can only stay in the US for 6 months before they have to return to Canada.
So, they could sell their house in TO for a huge profit,...
I saw Neal Rubin's article today about layoffs at WWJ:
