I don't know if this of any interest to you guys but I found a few old archive photos of a distant relative who worked at K-H in the 1940s. With your permission I will post them here as I believe...

A little follow up here. I showed this photo to my uncle who worked at Jefferson Chevrolet [[Trader Ray) for about 50 years beginning in the late 50s. He indicated that he thought that they...

Have you determined whether it is Schumann Resonance or not?

Ah, so it is private. I don't think anyone is suggesting that they move the park but even if not, it would cost a fortune for them to condemn a few feet of earth to "kill the curve" in the road. ...

Downrivergal, it sounds like you are familiar with it and, if so, do you think taking a few feet from the front of the entrance to straighten out the curve in the road would create a problem?

Whitehouse, that bend IS a serious bitch, even at moderate speeds. It's easier now to understand how the accident happened. Various relatives have related to me their understanding, likely passed...

Gnome, thank you for acknowledging. It is the very least one could do for those who became interested over the past several months. All stories have loose ends I guess and some we cannot tie up,...

We had spoken previously about what a menace this curve in the road at Rotunda and Schaefer remains to be even today, so I took some photos to show you and to sort of close out unfinished business on...

I remember reading an archive on the old webber on cigar factories that Hornwrecker & Co. were kicking around. Part of the discussion was about Hemmeter Cigar and if you look at this photo in the...

gnome, thanks for all of your input and guidance. That goes for everyone. I will try to blow the news stories up a little so they are readable.

Yes, grandpa was sadly sitting in the backseat I...

I noticed in going through both The Dearborn Press and The Independent that car crashes were extremely common and were almost always front page news, even though back then they were published every...

Okay, I finally managed to get to the library again in Dearborn and found that the investigation by The Dearborn Independent was much more thorough than that performed by the Dearborn Press.
...

It did say 258 on the plaque.

I made my way to the accident intersection today. For those who do not know, Rotunda/Airport Drive crosses over Schaefer. I went down to Schaefer and there is a plaque at the base of the Rotunda...

Greetings again. I made it to the Henry Ford Centennial Library yesterday just before they closed for the weekend and had time only to check one of the two Dearborn rags you mentioned. The Dearborn...

I saw it. Did you? It was pretty good. It surrounded the shooting at the bus stop at West Warren and Southfield last year. I think they said it was June, 2009. Am I right?

Darnit, why didn't he tell me about that? Serves me right for not asking again nicely. Thank you for letting me know and for calling to confirm. I did not know about the Benson Ford Center.

I promised you I would get back to you with any information or progress. I went to the Henry Ford Centennial Library on Michigan and for future reference, they have The Free Press on microfilm...

Rick, that subdivision I believe you are talking about is the row of lots on Lenox, down the road from the Lawrence P. Fisher Mansion, and across from Grayhaven Island. It was a developer's collapse...

Thanks for that heads up, Stosh. Would save me some time for sure.

I remember seeing another clipping of the accident when I was a kid but don't know who had it. In it there was a photo of the car after it came to rest off the embankment. For that reason I think...

:) Kathleen your post was not visible when I started to write mine. Sorry if I stepped on it with the reference to the DHS.

gnome suggested the Dearborn Historical Society or theHenry Ford Centennial Library on Michigan. I found a lot of resources at the Detroit Public Library on Woodward.

That is what I was thinking. He was probably distracted by the Rotunda Project.

Here is the article. I hope it comes over clearly enough to read.
