While mostly agreeing with all of the remarks, I think that directly across the street was the former Rafal Spice building, and while that business was still operating, its brick wall that faced that...

Any commentary from Duggan and his backers and supporters about vacant parcel taxes is just a little bit disingenuous unless recently imposed drainage fees are mentioned as part of the burden.

The three blast furnaces on Zug island are still there, overshadowed by the new Gordie Howe bridge now, but they are dormant. The EES DTE coke battery still operates on Zug Island. It looks like...

In political and legal arenas, one can try to persuade by shouting louder or one can try to persuade using facts.

To try to persuade me, you will get further using facts. Let's take this...

This is an excellent thread. I am not at all an east sider but I liked some items on here. The 1974 Nova at Ver Hoven was a best buy at the time. Those cars were quite economical and reliable for...

For the freshwater side of GLWA, this is recent water usage expressed in million gallons of water per day [mgd].

GLWA is currently raising wholesale water and sewer rates by roughly 3%. The stated reason is that the price of the chlorine that is used has gone up by 80%. This is true; if anything the price may...

A different article said that Ms. Beatty's restitution was not dischargeable by her bankruptcy. I am not a bankruptcy expert in any way so I don't really know how it is all going at this time. I do...

This article gives a rough idea of the amount she owed, but noted that she filed for bankruptcy in 2012 so probably it was bad debt after that point.

I'll start this post with a Metro Times article from way back in the 2000s when Michigan was in a one state recession and police were laid off.

I'd been to Northland Mall but can't remember if I'd ever been to Eastland Mall. :)

You probably meant to type Northland Mall.

Okay, some were wondering where was City Council? For those of you who believe that a business friendly City Council candidate with the many, many glossy campaign mailers and more ads is preferable...

The TP timeline needs to be corrected and revised. Charmin has been around since about 1928 when it was invented and sold by the Hoberg Paper Company in Green Bay Wisconsin. Procter and Gamble...

Tell me more about the Scott Paper plant on or near Zug Island. I am not aware of its existence myself. There is a distribution center next to Zug Island and the wastewater plant, which is Evans...

I appreciated that detailed picture of Delray in its heyday. It was a wonderful neighborhood from that description. My ancestors didn't live in Delray or even Detroit at that time, but rather in...

Wayne Soap was apparently the worst offender in creating a stench for the Delray area though there were/are others.

It looks like the tug Wilf Seymour is moving out a load of coke from Zug today. Coke is moved from Zug by rail car as well.

There was applesauce back then, and apples eaten from the hand. And then there were Halloween apples. In addition to sewing costumes and providing candy to pass out, my parents would chop apples...

Nice posts in this thread. Thank you to all the theater preservationists for their posts and work on theaters!

As Richard noted, there has been a lot of competition in movie screening markets. ...

I like that there were continuing updates and that the contractors and GLWA worked as a team. Okay....there's one more ask: even if the remaining 25 miles of pipeline is solid and good to go for a...

Education is one of the subject areas covered by Bridgemi.com.

Here is an opinion posted on Bridge Michigan about the need for a literacy lawsuit for the City of Detroit School System and the...

I can't immediately find out how many Detroiters take the GED test every year and what percentage pass the test every year. The Michigan pass rate is 60% or higher. A few years back the testing...
