This has been a great place to visit over the years. My current profile says Apr 2010, but I was on here while I was still living in the metro Detroit area. [[pre-2007)

I thought I knew my east...

Go Gistok!

Such irony coming from someone who writes War and Peace missives with every post. And one of the main reasons I rarely pop up in here anymore.

Glad to see this thread resurrected again. Glad enough I just went thru 10 pages of it, just jogging memories that are getting fuzzier by the day. ;)

TUxedo 4-2340 120' from Grosse Pointe Wds into Harper Wds.

LAkeview 6-6947 and PRescott 5-6601, HW and SCS are 2 numbers I dialed often, but they have not existed in my sphere for 60 some odd...

61 years ago I was there for the 11-2, beat down of the Packers. My first football game, and I went to many many more for the next 18 yrs, then I just gave up. I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon...

Houses on that block don't get a for sale sign very often, this one is pegged at 520k....

No tears shed here. He could be a predator in his personal life, I can attest to that first hand. That was in '78, I avoided him like the plague after that.

Oh fer crissakes. FYI I have extra double rolls of heavy duty Alcoa if you need some.

That location was a Starsucks before Timmy, right?

I was in the downtown theaters often the first 12-15 years of my life. I know I was at UA more than once, and a handful of the others. In earlier years I could tell you what I saw where, my memory is...

I haven't been on here since February, and thought about you singning in. I am glad to see your still amongst the land of the living Ray. ;) I am not as glad to see the guy who makes posts akin to...

How sweet that would be. Praise the lord!

I was throwing snowballs at Harry Gilmer one Sunday afternoon, many moons ago.

Beraducci! I think that was the guy I had for math at summer school in'67. Thanks for reminding me of the name I had long since forgotten. I thought he was a pretty good guy. What was his first name?

It would be nice to see the two buildings fronting the Blvd & the walkway restored, key word restored, not muddled. My ma was born almost spitting distance from the plant, & her dad worked there in...

I wandered around that place off & on for 6 long years. The 1st & 2nd battalion of the 182nd Artillery were located there. Funny, 6 yrs. doesn't seem nearly as long these days. Back then it felt like...

Spot on! lol

Have you ever driven in Boston Ray? Right near the top of my shit list alongside Baltimore & NYC. Boston ranks 1st I think.

If I may suggest, don't click?

I been around here for awhile, the search function sucks IMHO.

Aye! First roundabout I stumbled across was during my 1987 trip to Boston. I don't remember how many times I went in a circle until I was able to escape that insanity. I thought for sure I was gonna...

With the size of the brush you're using in your post, you could paint the side of a house in 3 swipes. Ya think?

In very earlier years, you're correct. In later years it migrated to the 7 & Gratiot area, lets define that as 1950's up to the earlier 70's.

First bird gun, a Wingmaster from 7 Mi & Mack. My memory says Ted Williams was doing a promotional at the store that day.

90% of my hand tools. I backed away from their power tools around 1980.

I played there when it was woods/swamp. Walked from HS for lunch, first real job was at Sanders. Very happy when it was built because it saved me from ma dragging me all the way to Northland.

If I had a career as a cop, that would be a great to have done/not done when it was time to walk into the sunset. Good going!

Sadly, yes. :[
