Ray, I mostly agree with you, BUT in terms of the weather, in a month [[or less..) from now when it's at-least 110 degrees out and we know it won't be cooling-off until late September/early October,...

Great points, reminds me of something surprising about the 'Caltrain' Amtrak-operated rail line that provides service along "The Peninsula" in the San Francisco Bay area, running between San Jose &...

One of the movies that still fascinates me & gives me goosebumps is a rather bleak 1973 'cops & robbers' movie called 'Detroit 9000,' due to the phenomenal filming locations.

My belief: Since much of Detroit's riverfront land was at one time, industrial, any seller of the property seems obligated to reveal environmental contamination and any buyer of the property then...

Sorry to hear your cat-whisker radio only tunes-in 760kHz.

For reasons which currently escape me, I'll humor you:

What sort of programming would you like it to have? Do you expect it to...

I kinda get it! Was it the Statler or Book-Cadillac they did that with? I lived in Downtown Detroit from 1997-2002 and remember them doing that with other abandoned [[but relatively...

There's something about outdoor escalators that seems to cause them to fail a lot. We have the same chronic problem here in Las Vegas, with the escalators for the Las Vegas Blvd pedestrian...

Thanks for sharing.

And if anyone hasn't done one of the Detroit River tours, if you're interested in Detroit & it's history enough to be a member of this forum, you really need to go on one of...

I'm just glad they didn't name it after coleman...

I'm about 2000 miles away, but am salivating at the thought of Dutch Girl Donuts, which I was introduced to by my old friend John Agnew in the 1980s. Plenty of times when living in downtown...

Not to interfere with the arguments here...

Circa 1979-1981, I was white kid in my early teens living in Birmingham. Often with a friend from school, sometimes on my own, I'd take a bus to get...

When I lived at Riverfront Towers 1997-2002, the only isolation I & the neighbors I felt was a positive one -- the relative physical security offered by the complex & a fairly quick 1st Precinct...

As a very young kid that was into military stuff, I clearly remember that for a while, there were two submarines docked on the river at Brodhead for a period of time. We'd go to from our Grosse...

Ray, this is wonderful! Please do continue to share your memories, no-matter how trivial you may think some of the things are...

Obviously most of the Detroit River shoreline area is of-interest to search/explore, either via SCUBA diving, dipping a camera, or magnet-fishing.

But a couple particular areas I always wanted to...

At least a couple times in the late 1960s, as a 3 or maybe 5 year old kid, I was in the audience of the Bozo show. I believe it was Windsor, but maybe channel 4's studios?

Before the program...

As someone who lived in Downtown Detroit 1997-2002 & had a decent view of part of the city from my 23rd floor apartment windows, I'm happy the list is so small!

This thread is fascinating from a psychological perspective. I can relate to both 'sides.' During my time living in the city, I experienced first-hand that there was a much greater than...

Throughout the 1990s & until 2002 when I moved from Downtown Detroit [[Riverfront Towers) to California, I used to go SCUBA Diving along the shore in the Detroit River occasionally, either solo in...

And let's forget about "Devil's Night!" Growing-up in Birmingham in the 1980s, being in the Yosilanti/Ann Arbor area in most of the '90s & then living in downtown Detroit 1997-2002, I'd...
