I had dinner two weeks ago with someone who works in the front office and has for the last five coaches. Schwartz has a poor reputation as a hands-off coach who sits in his office and dictates,...

I wasn't paying much attention, but did she have any part in Kwame's and Bobby's trials? I don't remember hearing her name in passing.

Most illiterate adults likely aren't interested in becoming "marketable'. "Just give me some assistance and I'll try to get by." Same with motivation.

But the kids are a different story. Many...

The Piquette Avenue plant was the original place where the Model T began and is already a museum of sorts. Highland Park was the next phase but is not worth rehabbing. Too much is already missing or...

I searched the site to see if this video had already been posted before and found nothing and I apologize if this is a repeat for the forum, but I found the process fascinating. Here's the...

Hearsay, but anyway: a close family friend has her calling James Gandolfini [[good friend of Elaine) to come and pick her up and drive her out to the coast to be with her actor buddies in L.A. We'll...

Shabazz pulled an Earl Butz and is standing around grinning waiting for his cronies to laugh and pat him on the back. He deserves the same response Earl got.

It would be refreshing to hear the Council just once say "Yes, we'll get on board with you and make this thing work". No, it's more "We're going to seek outside council and mount another legal...

Kudos to Gilbert & Company for having the stones to move forward in these questionable times. I agree with canuck. Outside eyes and perspectives can be invaluable in the the revitalization of Detroit...

Hey, I live in Novi [[the home of over-priced gas and cement companies) and I welcome any factory that wants to move here. We can use the taxes.

I worked there with my brother in the late sixties baking bread and doughnuts. There were always racks outside the lunchroom with "damaged" baked goods on them which were free for the employees to...

How are you getting the FACTS of this case? Are you in the courtroom every day or just skimming info from the newspapers like the rest of us? Ferguson got off last year because one juror was...

Based on his level of arrogance, I was relieved to not see his face among the pictures in the Free Press this morning listing the Mayoral candidates for the next election. Oh, I forgot, he's a Texan...

Can this be moved to the Kroger thread?

Pushing Dearborn's storied past to the back burner would be a monumental task [[Greenfield, Springwells, etc.) but the idea is still interesting. Unfortunately, Henry Ford and his name carry too much...

A side note: my daughter and her fiance last week put a deposit down on the venue where they are going to be married - the Ford Assembly Plant on Piquette Ave., a fantastic building where the first...

Not being a mega-business man, this tax credit stuff is all Greek to me but I love the fact that there is so much interest in these renovations in Detroit. And Federal incentives to boot! There is...

Compared to Pawn Stars this show portrays Detroit in the worst possible light. Black painted walls, lunatic customers trying to scam the owners and a greedy family of wanatbees [[Wes et al), I'm...

Good! Throw the book at her and her attorney husband. ' Working the system" is something she has undoubtedly sent people to prison for in her court. Hopefully, the "good old boy school" will not be...

Just got news that the soup kitchen at ETS [[Ecumenical Theological Seminary) which operates at the old First Presbyterian Church on Woodward will close soon. The kitchen has been in operation since...

We can all agree that Belle Isle isn't all that it should be or could be for that matter. It will never be what it once was, but could use some TLC to make it more appealing to all patrons, whomever...

Yep, that's the old guy, alright. I'll have to check the census records I have to see where he was in the later surveys. He had an office in Port Huron [[where the company freighters were docked) and...

Just saw this thread yesterday [[a little late, I know), but the Murphy building is part of my family genealogy and part of Detroit's proud past. Simon Jones Murphy, lumber baron out of Maine, came to...
