Wow, am I the only person who looked at the "Good Afternoon Detroit" clip and suddenly felt old? Those hairstyles and clothes took me back [[and believe me, we thought we looked great back then)!

I'm sure that someone's mentioned it on here before, but does anyone remember Channel 7's 4:00 [[or 4:30) Movie? My favorite weeks were Godzilla Week and Monsters Week! ;-)

I lived in Chicago about 20 years ago, and I have thought since then that the ward system would be a good thing for Detroit.

That said, it seems that over the years, many City Council members...

Ah, txlady, the infamous "Disco Demolition Night". So infamous in fact that there's a Wikipedia entry about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night

They've been teasing us here in LA for months. I wish they'd open already!

Yeah, what Kathy said! And how about having some concrete results? Or will this result in yet another study that will be lost in some desk drawer or some obscure website?

It seems the Brits love to rag on Detroit for some reason. It's not just the tabloids like the Sun, but the BBC and the more "upscale" papers do it too.

I wonder why?

BTW, my troop was at Outer Drive Faith Lutheran Church. Really convenient, as it was right behind my house!

All I can say is I'm hoping that ^&*[[) gets paid back in some way. :mad:

I was a Girl Scout too! We kept the boxes of Girl Scout cookies in the unheated den of our house. We would all pile up in our Scout leader's station wagon [[pre-seatbelt law days) to go places,...

I wouldn't say that Detroit is necessarily a better place to live than those three cities, for various reasons. But to say that Detroit is "angrier"? I wouldn't agree with that. I've lived in...

I don't know how anyone could decide to be a middle school teacher. Middle school [[at a DPS school that no longer exists) was pure hell for me. The kids were unruly -- not as bad as the kids in...

I would like to revitalize the neighborhood shopping areas. Not only the Avenue of Fashion, but Grand River/Greenfield, Six Mile/Schaefer, and whatever the east side equivalents would be. [[You can...

I live in L.A. and the "nouveau" food trucks are very popular. But people who live here have been eating from taco trucks for a couple of decades, so it was easy for us to accept trucks selling...

My mom worked for the IRS in that building in the 1970s. It was where the IRS had their computers -- back when computers were humongous. The building [[well, at least its floors) should be pretty...

I remember the produce truck and the bread truck. Not old enough to remember the milk truck, though! Where I live [[in LA), there are many produce trucks that drive through mostly Latino...

Please note that the above statement was made tongue in cheek! ;)

They did it in LA. Maybe we can get some goatherds with shotguns [[are they exempt from the city gun permit laws?) to protect the livestock.

I often went to lunch with my older sisters, who worked downtown. I remember going to Flaming Embers, Ham Heaven, Colonnade Cafeteria, the Money Tree and [[later) The Blue Nile in Trappers Alley.

I guess I'm a little younger than some of the people here: "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps...

Looking at those Google images, I didn't realize they grew so big! All I can remember is that the branches made the best [[or worst, depending on what end you were on) switches.
