O3H, stay on message.

Your original post was strictly a geographic argument about technology development happening [[or not happening) within the city limits. Once confronted with an alternative...

Didn't I just recently hear about a $70M Ford investment in the Corktown area that includes a complete rehab of one of our most famous eyesores, or was that all in my head? Oh yeah, and I believe it...

I don't know how to retrieve it Zads, but suffice it to say it was the lead story Monday evening on WXYZ, and took up about the first half of the newscast. While I appreciated having the facts about...

It's already been said, Zads. Just report the facts and let the people decide.

I don't understand this media and journalistic compulsion to intrepret every story for us and tell us how we...

Exactly Meddle. Just report the facts and let people decide for themselves if they would feel unsafe in crowd situations. Don't tell them they should be. Additionally, find a more substantial...

I saw a report last evening on WXYZ that I have to question. Like most stations, they feel the need to struggle and strain to try and build a local connection to a national story. In last night's...

I'm going to have to look for one of the old forms with the map on it. Used to do it every year back in the 70's, and it was a good event to get autographs from local celebs. I was able to get...

Cmon Cliffy, I already said it's the customer that drives what the companies provide as a product. If the customer rejects Indian call centers, they'll come back [[i.e. Comcast and others). This...

It's not greed, it's cost avoidance to remain in business. You can't stop the development of technology, and when a business adopts that technology [[i.e. self serve cashiers), their competition...

One issue is that these cashiers, Panera front-line workers, baggers, McD's employees and others is that they are feeling their work is worth $15/hr. If that's not incentive for these companies to...

I'm sure there's some punishment that can be applied in this situation..............let me check the Michigan Penal Code. [[Let the groans begin).

Let's not forget Sonny Elliott, "Bless You Boys" Al Ackerman, or Johnny Ginger!

I saw on Yahoo that Frank Buckles just dies yesterday. The article confirmed that he was the last remaining US WWI Veteran. He lied about his age getting into the Army at 16 1/2 years old.

Bus boy and dishwasher at Big Boy at Allen Rd and Southfield in Allen Park. Worked there for about 6 weeks until a relative got me into Michigan Consolidated Gas Co. Worked 2 summers at their...

Thanks Downriveria. I've been to Styx once before but not to the Wyandotte one. Styx is a good little place.

I'm kinda looking for something more towards the Livonia area. I've heard of oen...

I'm not sure if this topic has been covered before and if it has, my apologies in advance.

Anyway, is anyone aware of a decent cigar bar on the west side that also serves alcohol? I know of one...

Reed & Barton is a prominent silversmith manufacturer based in the city of Taunton, Massachusetts, since 1824. It is internationally acclaimed for its fine quality products, notably sterling silver...

Indianapolis did what itr looks like SLC is doing. They took 2 city blocks worh of old buildings, gutted the insides, and converted them into a 3 story mall; Circle Center. It was a major drawing...

While technically not in Detroit, our place during spring/summer/fall months was Hines Drive and Hines Park in the late '70's.

Anyone else?

Yes, Flips at Plymouth and Auburn. This was between Southfield and Evergreen. Cody kids used to hang there in the late '50's, early '60's. It was your typical soda fountain and malt shop.

My...

Maybe a bill collection company could open a call center in Detroit and hire them. They're already asking people for money, now they would get paid for doing it.

In all seriousness, I used to...

I don't see it in the cards for a successful daily Detroit-based variety show. We've already tried that with The Scene. I don't know why that show hosted by Nat Morris didn't take off on a national...

To this day, the smell of burnt cork reminds me of being a hobo on holloween, and my parents burning a cork to put a "beard" on me as part of my costume. Plus, I'm not sure of it's a regional thing...

Agreed Lowell, this shoud be a self-regulated experience. Those thriving on excessive postings just to be able to "be somebody" will quickly tire of the experience as well as the lack of credibility...

Maybe we can have the best of both worlds for these companies whose customers demand that their IT support re-relocate back to the U.S. There's definitely an Indian population here that they can...
