What an odd thing to want to do. I guess people have now forgotten who Phil Hart was, what he stood for, and what a driving force for civil rights legislation he was. There was a very good reason...

When my father went to law school at Wayne it was located in a house across Cass from the main library.

The law school moved to its current location on Palmer in 1966, but the buildings that stand...

Yeah, I was there. Had also seen him a few weeks earlier, in an even hotter show, at Munn Ice Arena on the MSU campus.

Saw far too many shows at Cobo Arena to remember. Spent my late high...

If you're a Noguchi fan you should scroll right or left using the side arrows from that Hart Plaza video. It appears that much of the Noguchi Museum's video collection is posted there on Vimeo.

When I visited the Noguchi Museum in New York several years ago I remembered seeing a video of the opening of the fountain and the plaza with Noguchi supervising the finishing touches. It triggered...

This is yet another in the long and lengthening line of disappointments I've had with the state's stewardship [[or lack thereof) of Belle Isle.

Having sailed in both places I can tell you that the sheltered, slow flowing, and reasonably deep Charles basin is a whole lot easier sail than the fast-flowing, often very choppy, unpredictably...

Metro Times posted a whole bunch of pictures from the event. From the evidence of those photos it looks like a good time was had by many. I could certainly hear it driving around on that part of...

Highland Park was like that because Henry Ford was a teetotaler and prohibitionist, and definitely didn't want his workers hanging around in bars before work. Kind of ironic given Highland Park's...

Many municipalities in Michigan banned selling alcohol by the glass or were dry altogether for many years after the end of prohibition. A lot of places in Oakland County were like this, hence the...

Yeah, I was mildly surprised that she didn't do that. Lots of these fringe candidates make ridiculous fraud charges these days despite big double digit losses.

Like our friend Rocket above, many...

Ms. Lundgren ran for the State House of Representatives in our east side district. Goodness, what a nasty piece of work she is. So I'm not surprised at all by any of this. Oh, and she lost, 8% to...

It was at the corner where the McDonald's has been for nearly 50 years now. My uncle bought a Triumph there in the early '60s, which was a great car when it ran [[which it didn't in the cold, heat,...

I was by here during the auto races downtown, and in fact stood on the porch for quite a while as it had a great view of the cars coming up Rivard and accelerating down Jefferson. I was shocked to...

That building was where the Chinese-American organizations were and the Shanghai restaurant.

Of course the Ilitches have no plans for the site, other than to rip everything down and sit on the...

Congratulations on joining the club Ray. Took delivery on my 2022 Escape just a bit over a year ago. Got the plug-in version, which then came with a pretty hefty tax credit. Had to wait about 9...

This. Absolutely this.

It was near the end of a loss to the Chicago Bears on a warmish, but dreary and drizzly fall day. I was in Section 14 in the upper deck of Tiger Stadium with my parents and couple family friends....

Apparently he went off on some of his co-workers live on air. Then, after being shut down, later came back on air and went off on station management. That'll do it.

Many many years ago I and a couple of buddies used to scalp tickets around the parking lots there. Saw some pretty good shows with the leftovers.

My parents used to date at the Motor Bar when my mom was working in the wine shop at the hotel.

My mother worked in that house during the many years it was converted into office space. The entrance hall was beautiful and you could still see a few architectural details in other rooms that were...

Actually, tournament Monopoly began right here in Detroit, with the world's first monopoly tournament founded by the late Lee Weisenthal in I believe 1963.

Mike Higgins got what he wanted out of the Farwell Building: a bunch of money for basically no investment at all. Of course, that came after he sold off the best pieces from the once-spectacular...

About damn time. I can't tell you the number of clients I had back when I was organizing travel into the city for business/events who reacted with total disbelief when I told them there was no...
