oneita jackson is now driving a cab. here's a story about her: http://www.hourdetroit.com/Hour-Detroit/January-2015/Oneita-the-Magnificent/

I wondered about the Detroit bar in the episode. The look of the place reminded me of the old Topinka’s on the Boulevard, which was a block or two from the then-GM building. But it must have been a...

I’ll absolutely second this. Met up with some friends recently en route to the DFT and all loved it. I had the meatloaf — which is definitely not your mother’s meatloaf. If you thumb your nose at...

you're probably thinking of Mixed Media. but the papers didn't "come out of" there [[other than probably being sold there)...

Good observation. But for the record, that's from the News, not the Freep.

The Free Press may or may not have wanted to make this change. It wouldn't have mattered. The move to Facebook was dictated by Gannett, the Free Press' owner, for all of its papers.

yes, property values and population have fallen. but how valid are these charts?

the average price of a residential unit sold has fallen 87%? how many units were actually sold? and the numbers are...

i grew up near greenfield north of 6 mile. i can't answer your question. but the area wasn't mostly jewish, and my recollection is that most of those buildings went up before the area was integrated....

Thanks for the old pix. My first car was a '63 Dart [[bought used for $250 in 1970). The push-button transmission was great for rocking the car out of snow [[which i had to do a lot, since i was...

That story from Hour Detroit, while interesting, mostly cites actions that turned out poorly -- not instances of corruption. Cobo's building of freeways and elimination of streetcars? If corruption...

Some years back, I bought a minivan there. A few months later, I took it in for scheduled maintenance and had a pleasant walk home. A couple hours later, the service department called to say the van...

i recall the backstage when it started out as a small all-night restaurant on 7 mile, just east of woodward, next door to a bar that held weekly crab races [[honest).

why do you see the article as not helpful? the threatened lack of funding certainly isn't helpful. but the article is quite helpful in bringing the problem to...

you remember the story correctly. but it was a satire -- a made-up story.

For some years, some suburbanites [[maybe a dozen) who ride SMART buses to and from work downtown have been gathering on Friday evenings at Four Green Fields, a bar in the strip mall at 13 Mile and...

hey, that's my old locker there! yes, post some more, pls.

Indeed! And how many of those nice homes for the pastors are registered as "parsonages" and off the tax rolls as well?

yes, it's an inspiring ad... but one thing i'm still wondering: is that model actually made here?

the decisions are made somewhere at Gannett, which owns the free press. if you look at other Gannett newspaper sites, you'll find they look just like freep.
