I was a listener/contributor to Wdet for many years until the format changed over to talk radio about 12 years ago. What originally captured my attention in the 1980's was the incredible music...

There is an old Jewish cemetary on Van Dyke, but it is north of Gratiot, just south of Grinell. But that would not be close to Jefferson Ave. or The Manoogian mansion area.

Has anyone parked in the nearby park and walked to Harbor Island? I have a friend who is a boater, I think he would enjoy seeing the area.

I don't recall the details but I had an uncle that worked for Kelsey Hayes in Detroit, they lived near Delray at the time. Later they moved to Garden City and he was working at the Romulus plant at...

Zacha, about two years ago someone posted on Dyes [[I believe) a computerized graphic of the new hockey arena near the Fox Theater built in the style of the former Olympia Stadium. An awesome idea I...

I went to a David Bowie concert at Olympia seems either 1976 or 1977.

I'm friends with Alvin these days. I email him the occasional update on his former place. He's not much on emails though and won't join facebook. Basically I see him once or twice a year when he's...

Google maps says Alfred Brush Ford park is at the food of Lakewood St. East of that is Riverfront-Lakewood Park. If I remember years ago one of them was Engel Park?? I always thought that was...

Totally. I just mentioned Qwikee today. A friend from Cleveland mentioned old donut shops of the past. I would like to see them back in town.

Awesome idea. I was at a volunteer function at St. Albertus Sunday and this group was mentioned during a lecture. It will be the perfect place for Mass Mob to visit - beautiful, functioning and in...

I have to agree with you guys. when I see a Headline Detroit post I usually avoid it since it does not often seem to emphasize anything but negatives. I follow their facebook page but ignore most...

DBC has been open in the past during Shiver on the River. This year the Shiver is Feb. 1. I have visited the boat club twice at past Shiver events. It's worth seeing. The Rowing Club will accept...

I read years ago, I think in the Metro Times, that many of the chandeliers, water fountains, etc. were shipped to Minneapolis and installed in the department store there that bought Hudson's, I...

Sorry if this has already been posted. I'm not a big American Idol follower but Last week was "Music of the Motor City". The video is 1 1/2 hrs, but early on some interesting Detroit videos and...

I'm excited. A friend wants to stop in to St. Francis this afternoon for fish then a trip to a pub after. It will be a good reason to leave work early, I always enjoy St. Francis fish fry, the...

Nuts, I won't be available, I'd love to check that out. Nice to see the Senate doing more movies from time to time.

Any drinking folks might want to stop in at Abick's Bar on the way to/from...

I agree with the St. Francis trible. They are excellent fish frys.

I think the hours are 11:00 am - 6:00 pm Fridays during Lent.

Very nice. That is my old apartment building. It was a wonderful place. Thanks for posting the picture.

thanks for posting that article detroitbob, what exciting news.

About a year or two ago someone posted a similar question on Detroityes. They made up a computer model of a new hockey arena modeled after the old Olympia Stadium. It was awesome.

I cannot...

Well, the trolley was anything but rapid transit, you could walk from the Whitney to the RenCen in almost the same amount of time. :) Still it had a quaint appeal to it and would be nice to see it...

Gistok, thanks for mentioning the trolley. I always enjoyed riding it on occasion. I miss that trip from the RenCen to the Whitney Bldg. I guess those cars were sold to another city. It would be...

One of the major complaints I have always heard from anyone I know who has lived in the Bay area is that the commutes there are terrible. Even on the weekends traffic can be horrible from what...

Casinos are ok in my opinion. Yes, I have known a couple of compulsive gamblers. but like bars, you don't ban something because a percentage of the users can't control themselves. Prostitution and...

Super news! I remember a month ago wondering if Detroit had any chance to win AL Central. A friend of mine and I were playing cards and decided that if Detroit didn't make the playoffs that it...
