Check out the new sign on Grand Blvd. at E. Lafayette. I glanced up Grand Blvd. looking north and saw two or three more of these. This is just outside of Bell Isle. Maybe there is anticipation of...

I remember. Podell was at WLLZ. It's been years, but for some reason I remember when 'LLZ started broadcasting rock, and Podell was a dj.

Since I passed by the location of the former Field School today, I thought I'd post a photo to show what the space looks like now compared to EastsideAl's 1976 pic. The corner is now occupied by the...

I'm hoping less. It seems like it's decreased in my neighborhood since the early to mid 2000s. Last year was down from the previous year. Less automatic gunfire the last several years in general....

Thanks for sharing the link. The "flickriver" link on the FB page has some great photos.

Field Street south of Kercheval has had a few older houses burned in the past year, and then demolished....

I finished watching the video on the Freep site, and then came over here and read through this thread. The video is the best I've seen them do.

Late into the morning I keep hearing a foghorn from the river. I look outside and don't understand why because it's clear. I drive over to Belle Isle, and here's the view of downtown and the...

The foghorns on the river woke me up this morning. Not unusual to hear them, but when I looked out the window I was surprised with how much fog there was.

I went outside with the intent of making...
