I’m not on Facebook, but do get my share of spam/scam emails which are caught & sent to my junk folder. I never open them, just delete them all since they’re obviously scams, addressed to another...

They also made wonderful tea sandwiches.

When I was a kid, my mother always ordered sheet cakes & tea sandwiches from Mrs. Maddox for club meetings and special occasions at church. There was never...

Thanks for responding, but I apologize for neglecting to say in my post that family wasn’t trying to help him keep his home or pay the back taxes. We knew he owed back taxes, so it wasn’t a surprise,...

A belated Merry Christmas to all. Was cooking dinner for family.

Sad to hear it’s closing. I used to take my daughter there when she was little to see whatever kid’s movie was playing at the time. As a single mom on a budget, I could easily afford the $1.00...

Simply heartbreaking. Condolences to the Hernandez family

Happy Anniversary! Thank you Lowell!

I discovered DetroitYes after reading an article about itsJeff in the Freep many years ago.

Sending good thoughts and blessings to you and your family.

I agree Zacha341, we all know cancer can happen to anybody, young or old.

I lost two cousins to cancer, one in 2016, age 61, the other in 2017, age 58. They were sisters, passed less than a year...

Simply heartbreaking. Only in her 30s, with young ones. How do you tell your children Mom is gone and help them understand what happened?

My condolences to Jessica’s family & her Fox 2 family.

Years ago my next door neighbor took my daughter & his neice to eat @ Hard Rock. They were young kids then & probably somewhat impressed with the place. Don’t remember what they thought of the food. ...
