Not even close to being the oldest. There are 1909s out there! And pretty much every year in between.

Channel 4 news reported this morning that the victim was a developer who was investing in the neighborhood to improve it [[or something like that). Said he was robbed first. Here's a link to the...

The Liberty Hotel in Boston is just that! www.libertyhotel.com. I'm hoping that 1300 Beaubien will become a hotel/condos.

Every time I see a lot of post office closures, I hope that my post office - the North End Post Office on E. Milwaukee, is on the list of closures. It's filthy in and out, plexiglass barriers, poor...

That's what happens with Plexiglass barriers. They drive the good customers away. I used to work in Los Angeles. Even in South Central Los Angeles very few businesses used the Detroit-style barriers.

I'd like to see housing incentives for retired Police Officers to move into the city. Also, I refuse to patronize any business that use plexiglass [[and other barriers) to separate the customers from...

SMART bus 125 [[Fort Street) runs to/from DTW from downtown. I regularly take it during the winter time. [[The rest of the year I ride a motorcycle. Gotta travel light.)

Nonetheless, our airport...

Don't forget College of Creative Studies [[CCS), the University of Detroit [[Mercy) Law School on E. Jefferson, and the U of D Dental school on MLK.

I've talked to the folks at Inner City Motorcycle Repair at 7421 W Chicago, Detroit, MI 48204
[[313) 935-2453. Seemed like they knew what they were doing. Don't know if they are still around.

Here's my letter on the topic that was published in today's [[June 9, 2011) Free Press:

Taxes are the problem

I'm a returning Detroiter. After 25 years living and working in Los Angeles, I moved...

A week or so ago in a TV Dan Gilbert was asked about the sale of the Pistons. He replied that there is no professional basketball in Detroit. That Auburn Hills is not Detroit. He also pointed out...

"If you drink and drive, you are a bloody idiot."
Victoria, Australia Road Safety ads.

I couldn't agree more.

Just Don't Drink and Drive. Rather than Try not to drink too much and drive. Also, Plan and Think BEFORE you drink rather than while you are drinking.

Limit yourself to One standard drink [[one...

Re: a .08 versus a .15 alcohol level

Actually, I'm pretty astonished we are even having this discussion. On a professional level I've run 100 or more tightly controlled alcohol correlation studies...

Case Quarter
As I came out of the Highland Park Aldi's today a lady asked me if I had a "case quarter" for some change. She needed it for a shopping cart. I hadn't heard that term in years! Spent 25...

Are you kidding? Suggesting it should be a .15? A .15 is only realistic if you're just interested in the stumbling falling over drunk who's gotta drive 'cause he's too drunk to walk. Starting at...

When they moved to Wixom, I began returning their solicitation notices readdressing them to "Wixom Public TV," telling them to never contact me until they moved back to the City. Whenever WTVS had a...

I think he is right. But good architecture and planning can help create the public places that engender interaction and conversation. Campus Martius is a good example of a public place that does...

I am an active bicyclist, motorcyclist, and scooterist [[Vespa GTS 250 and Symba - Honda cub replica- currently). For years, I've been trying to convince scooter and moped dealers that their natural...

Possibly related...today's Boston Globe reports that Macy's is closing it's Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts store. Chestnut Hill is a very upscale area adjacent to Boston. So, maybe Macy's is shrinking!...

I grew up between Greenfield and Southfield, 7 and 8 Mile [[Immaculate Heart of Mary neighborhood). I spent many many days at Crystal Pool. I recall that one had to purchase a membership card to be...

When do you expect to open?

The airport authority clearly doesn't want convenient express bus service. After all, bus riders don't pay to park, and cab and metro car proprietors may lose money. As casscorridor says, our...

It's a done deal folks! The Broderick will be resurrected! Construction to begin immediately!!!

I'm wondering if Tweeting when needing a ride from/to the airport might be a solution, in part.
