Hello, Mr. Hornet. Meet Mr. Size 11.5 shoe.
Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE Motown fan and support the museum and all, but this seems a little over the top. Meh, just me I guess.
I noticed the ticket price is a little more this time. Like second mortgage pricing. OUCH!
We bought a leather couch and chair from them back in the 90's. They still look fantastic.
I worked there from '88 - '91 and went up on the roof one night. This is true, you could definitely just plunge right off the top if you wanted to. And there was no problem getting up there either....
It'll be fun to watch how many Detroit names get mispronounced. My bet is on Gratiot being the first.
As a former Detroiter who tries to get back home once or twice a year, we've tried several. High on the list for us would be the Aloft, the Shinola and the Element. Didn't care for the Siren.
As a transplanted Detroiter now living in Florida, we make a trip home at least once a year. This time it was Labor Day weekend. Detroit continues to amaze and impress me. And the Tigers won! Damn!...
While working at WGPR during the late 80's, our inside joke was that WGPR stood for We Get Payola Regularly. Also We've Got Pathetic Ratings. Fun days...
Wish they'd spend the money on refurbishing Hart Plaza. Was down there for the Jazz Festival and the place is in bad shape IMO.
We weren't impressed. It's nice in a creepy sort of way. Hopefully it has improved since we stayed there. Then there was the problem of their valet parkers taking my rented Charger for a joy ride for...
Not a fan of "in the D" either, especially for this format, but whatever brands it "Detroit is ok by me. I love this format and blame Cheap Channel [[now iFart Media) and more specifically Alan Kepler...
Respectfully, I disagree. I thought it was pretty good! Especially for a transplanted Detroiter like me who can't get a decent Detroit style pizza [[other than the few Jet's locations we have).
I bought one at Target down here in Florida and tried it Sunday night. It was fantastic! Well, for a frozen pizza. A little expensive [[$7.99) but delicious. Manufactured by a company from Cleveland?
It flirts with the issues of the times but doesn't really come out and talk about them. You hear Coleman's name dropped as well as Gil Hill's but that's about it, a name drop. Probably to lend some...
They might be the equivalent of the numbered mile road, but in my 55 years, I've never heard of these referred to anything other than their name. Must be a Wikipedia thing.
It has its moments but for the most part, I thought it sucked. I was hoping to see lots more Detroit images but other than a few seconds at the beginning, there's nothing. Oh sure, the WLLZ bumper...
I always think of how smoky it would get inside. Did everyone smoke back in the day? I also remember commercials for Knight's auto Sales right across from Olympia. Then there was the time that I was...
This is really sad. I worked on the boat as a DJ during the summer of '84. Hated the gig but loved being part of the whole Boblo tradition. Contrary to what others might think, we could not get off...
I'd like to see them make better use of the Amtrak rail that runs right by the airport. Why not make better use of it by adding a "train" or something similar that can run on the already existing...
I may be wrong but didn't she have part ownership in Club Taboo back in the day?
A fact that any good defense attorney would have brought up to strengthen his case. Yeah, all in all I found the film weak on several levels.
WARNING: spoilers ahead.
I agree with others assessment of the true title of the film: "The Algiers Incident" or something like that would have been more descriptive. I lost it early on at two...
Thanks in part to the many great Detroit visuals in the video, I always think of Detroit every time I hear "Freeway of Love" by Aretha Franklin. What was the name of the club they shot the video at?...
