Yes. Perhaps you should . . . .

I think to use the term "white middle class" there tends to be a rather broad stroke. The reality is that the majority of those who could afford to look elsewhere - did, and still do. What Coleman...

I often wonder if anyone had the guts to tell Young that if he ran the middle class off that his tax base would go with them? If he was told, was he too stupid and egotistical to believe them?

An easy choice - Coleman Young was by far the worse mayor. Young's departures from reality are far too numerous to list. "Nero" Young fiddled while the city fell down around his ears and served as...

Wow! Shock Theater! I can remember watching my first Bela L's Dracula on channel 7. Everyone else would be upstairs in bed and there I was - afraid to turn off the lights! It seems to me that I ...

"Help ther poor" was always the call when I was a kid. I didn't hear "Triock or treat" until much later. BTW, does anyone remember "Devil's Night" - the real one, not where you tried to tourch yours...

15675 Manning/9200 Haverhill. Saturday afternoons at the movies - Vogue, Civic, Harper. Ice skating and sledding in the winter. Attended Burbank, Wayne, St Matthew, and Austin. Remember when Eastland...

Hermod - The IHM nuns at St Matthew had a convent located next to the school - north side.

Pastor Jones does have the "right" to burn copies of the Koran - or any other documents he may choose. "Right", however, does not justify his fanatical rantings any more than the Phelp's spew their...

I went to St Matthew for the 7th & 8th grades - with IHMs. Our only "lay" teacher was the football/baseball coach who also taught math. My strongest memories of the nuns were their "burn in hell"...

Maxx - I think Palin was one the worse running mate that McCain could have selected. Whomever suggested that an obscure governor with minimal experience and NO understanding of world politics could...

There's a whole laundry list of items. Race is just a part, but you have to admit it was played strongly.

No, Obama's election was not as simple of its being "a black thing". I think that a very large part of our country was simply tired of politics as usual - hell, even I contributed to his campaign. ...

John. Does your head rattle when you shake it?

I don't "blame" Obama at all and I certainly agree that the fault lies with the collective "us". What I am saying is that he was elected not as the best man but as a black man whose lack of a track...

I don't think that my position is as much cynical as it is to call a spade a spade - no racial slur intended. When it's to his advantage to be black - he is. When it's to his advantage to be white or...

Bring all of the troops home now. Let Iraq and Afganistan stand or fall on their own. Nine years is way more than we needed to invest in a defunct region. WhenI left Vietnam the last time I prayed...

Obama is not a muslim he is an opportunist - he can be whatever the moment he believes will give him the most sway. Obama also is neither a black nor white he is, as Hawaiians call it, a Haffa. He...

I remember it well, it was the first real tragedy that I saw. Looking across the canel from Alter Road you could see what was left of the aircraft - not much, small pieces in a burnt out big hole, as...

BUILDINGSOFDETROIT: Sorry for your situation but there are possibililities - several of which have already been suggested. Look first for a modification of your loan - the bank probably does not...

My favorite memories about Hudson's was the Christmas season. Taking the bus from Harper and 6 mile, all of the Christmas decorations, the elevators - each operated by an employee who announced the...

Until people - folks that have jobs, income, a sense of neighborhood responsibility can be convinced to return to Detroit's neighborhoods, the situation will never be reversed. It's a fine thing that...

As long as potential and actual residents feel insecure, it all goes out the window. One only has to drive through Detroit on the expressways to understand the realization that Detroit as a viable...

Lt Patterson has clearly demonstrated that within the Detroit Police Department there is more than one way to become a lieutenant - my dad has to be spinning in his grave!

Nope. As in A-253, 5th SFGP - Duc Co, RVN. Did a short time with the 7th, way back when. Didn't have much time to find the mess hall when orders to the 5th arrived. Last SF assignmernt was with...
