I guess it is wishful thinking to try to convince the Columbia owners to sell or return the Columbia to Detroit. If you check out their website, they have some notable shakers on their Boards, and...

The pilot house was removed from the boat some time
before the fire and I assume it is in storage. Under the circumstances, the pilot house might now be worth a lot of bucks.

A welding mishap was the initial cause of the Normandie’s burning in NYC and could very well have led to the demise of the beloved Sainte Claire.
The North American is at the bottom of the...

Agreed. I have always harped that The Fist is a terrible way to welcome people to downtown Detroit. But more on point, Gilbert had to go all the way to Brooklyn or NJ to find an artisian for his CM...

Perhaps, Irishspartan, we might have bumped into each other many moons ago at Shield's Bar. Louie put that place on the map and Shield's Bar sponsored our lawyers softball team in the Detroit summer...

you are right as rain, Smirnoff. The Lions have no viable running game. Our current list of runners is mediocre, and Stafford can't do it all.

Will bees replace pit bulls to stay away from when you take a walk?

The Q line from Pontiac to Detroit? At its pokey pace, it would probably take 3 hours with all the stops. Does not sound very practical.

You got that right. Grosse Pointers have been saddled with 2 incompetent and ineffective representatives in Lansing for years- Banks in the House and Johnson in the Senate. Neither care about GP....

You got that right

Was Miss Budweiser sitting in the parking lot of Pinkey's restaurant across the street on the NE corner? Bud Schaeffer used to put a boat there on display during the hydroplane races.

How long has Big Boy been there? I am gong way back, but I remember when that location housed a Sanders store. Again, that was way back.

I had a couple of occasions to represent his company in the WCCC when they were insured with CNA. A couple of their repairs were on the sour side which led to the litigation. I met him on one...

I think "Qwikee"
has a different connotation now then it had back in the 50' as I viewed those old donut shops that I remember so well!
And what also caught the eye of this old boat buff is the...

I guess it is different opinions that make the world go round, but I say the tower is overwhelming, better left for Chicago or NY but not in the Woodwad area.

I believe you are correct, Ray. Seems to me I have an old savings passbook from the former Detroit Bank and Trust before Comerica took them over. And back then , my law firm was in the Guardian...

Call it gang violence or thug violence, that's what is shutting down Macy's/ Eastland Shopping Mall, not " poor management".

Me too, Ray. I share your pain. But I think you and I are but a few on the Forum who only remember HELP THE POOR. There was no TRICK OR TREAT back then.

In the early 60's, there was an A and P grocery store on the NE corner. I was involved in a worker's compensation case of a roofer who was injured during maintenance on the building.

Psychologists tell us that sometimes, jealousy promotes hatred. Here are the Indians in the World Series while we Tiger fans, once again, watch our team clean out their lockers for another long...

Many of the Detroit Tigers bought their cars from Higgns Pontiac. And I can recall when Woodwad Ave. thru Ferndale was divided by a large median in the center which was used for parking.no parking...

[QUOTE=Gistok;388729]Thanks for the images Neilr! Very nice building. I remember that the city had some of their courts in that building. And that incidentally is the only use I can think of......

In my day, I tried a few cases in those old ornate court rooms. Judge Spivak and Judge Roumell were Wayne Circuit judges there.and a judge from Dearborn whose name I do not recall. And the old...

I suggest either vice presidential candidate would make a better president than either presidential candidate.

Hathaway is still a good name to add to the mix if running for judicial office. And when a judge retires, you often see an offspring throwing his or her name into the campaign, too. That's...
