That would be great! I'd love to see "then and now".

Ray1936 Great site. I've got it bookmarked.

I see no reason for a celebratory I told you so here. The end result for this outrageous behavior is that the residents and potential future residents of the City of Detroit get screwed. Again....

Great images. Thanks for sharing Grumpyoldlady. I love the shot of the trolley and the Vernors delivery truck. Can anybody identify the locations of some of these shots?

Good stuff Realitycheck. Thanks for sharing.

Too funny! :D

Thank you for the reply szla. I congratulate you, Galexc, and all those who are making this thing happen. The concert idea is very cool. I close my eyes and imagine a warm summers evening. Music...

Hey Reddog289-Would love to see pictures of your garden. I hear you about the learning thing. I've got very different growing conditions than what I'm used to.It snowed here on August 8th. Didn't...

Crawford-I was just on the Palmer Fountain thread. People stepping up and making a contribution to the region. Go check it out. I'm telling you guy, this is really cool stuff.
If you like what's...

Wow. This is really incredible. From Kensingtonys original post on August 6th to community mobilization in less than 2 months. My hats off to you guys.
szla, I'm wondering if you know what it would...

Thank you for the kind words Realitycheck. I realize that Detroit has serious issues and problems to overcome. Damned serious. I'm certainly not trying to blow sunshine up anybodies fanny here.
I've...

My grandfather, who has been gone for almost 30 years now, used to say to me:

The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago. The next best time is today, so what are you going to do.......

Any thoughts of a contingent of DYes folks sitting down with some Time people? From my perspective, there are some very intelligent, educated people here who may help shed some light about Detroit

I disagree with you Lonyo. Why would Time drop such a big chunk of change in Detroit just to show the nation that we are idiots? They could do that very easily whithout the investment that they've...

Valid points Fnemecek but my fear is that the site will be one giant parking lot, especially after reading the article that Novine linked in post #45 of this thread.

In my opinion, any area that isn't given the basic services, security and educational opportunities that a resident should expect to receive.

I agree with your comments but I think it's important to realize that the vast majority of America doesn't understand Detroit like most of the members of this forum do. I was clueless to a lot of...

I'm not sure if I agree with you or not. In my little corner of the world, there was a huge backlash for the auto bailouts. Until the local GM dealership got its pink slip. At that point attitudes...

Very well stated sirrealone.

Fantastic article. We need the national attention. In my opinion, Detroit can't bring herself back on her own. To me, it's doubtful that the region or even the State can pull off what's needed. We...

Hi All,
This is one of my favorite threads. I haven't had a garden since moving to Montana in 2003 from Detroit. Living at 4000' and only having 2 months of frost free weather, I just assumed that...

I like the idea of a permenant links page.
