Thank you ggores. My sentiments exactly.
The last "rock" "band" to make it big out of Detroit was White Stripes, and while I love 'em, they always seemed like the last breath of an era to me.

Meanwhile the original "downtown" of Warren languishes at Mound and Chicago roads. Its tiny, but could have been brought up to something charming with a little planning and investment. But someone...

Clickbait.
They mention Warren and Dearborn as"ultra-wealth" hubs [[??) when everyone knows that the big bucks are in Oakland County.

I started working downtown last summer for the first time in my [[long) life. It is so amazingly improved over what was there just five years ago, not to mention several decades prior. I sense a real...

This i one isn't up high, but the view from the western tip of Belle Isle is pretty special

I don't think Rita featured much rock music on her show, but one time I remember her quiz song being "Hello I Love You" by the Doors. I think the jackpot went up quite a bit on that one before...

It's basically a salad bar so that nixes a truck.

When Comerica was being built, I recall Mike Ilitch saying that he wouldn't have much of his own parking around the stadium because he wanted people to walk around more and investigate downtown. To...

I forgot all about those crazy semi-circle streetlights.

- Going to a party store with the intent to buy alcohol, not balloons and streamers.

I think the term "shell" was dying out around here by the late 70's. I took it to mean an 8 to 10 oz. glass of draft beer, but I never ordered one in a bar so maybe I'm wrong.

Here are a couple of...

Yes it's odd how home addresses were so freely shared back when. I have old Tigers programs that list the home addresses of the players, so you could drop in at the Kaline's in Lathrup Village if the...

Looks like they dropped the Sunday morning Time Warp show, which is about the only time I listened to them lately. So bubbye.

That's because "if you're not completely satisfied, HEADS WILL ROLL". One of my favorite quotes of his!

I love that second commercial, EastsideAl. The Colleseum!.....the Taj Mahal!.....a bungalow in Allen Park!
He was a treasure.

Am I mistaken or is this not the location of the old county morgue?

I've never been, but I remember seeing the east-side location on the east side of Gratiot somewhere. I think it was just north of I-696 but cant recall. I'm sure others can place it.

They'll need to keep bribing people to watch if they hope to stay on the air. I barely cracked a smile during the first episode.
Maybe I'm just too old to understand "today's humor" because the...

Maybe its a matter of how you pronounce the first syllable. Does it sound like "LOt" or "LAugh". If the former, I would expect more emphasis on the last syllable. If the laterr, then more emphasis...

Wow zitro, I thought I was the only person who still had that antique!

For those who don't know, the Detroit News published a series of full page Tigers player posters to celebrate the 1968...

Is the "Far East Side Project" [[not sure if that's the real name) still underway? The plan was to create infill housing between Mack and Jefferson and east of about Conner.

My commute takes me on I-75 through it's entire run in Detroit. I decided to take an unoffical count on the way home today and came up with 93 bridges that I either passed under or that took me...

What about the old Packard Plant pedestrian walkway across Grand Blvd.? Does that count?

Magnavox had retail outlets in the area. I recall their buildings in a kind of art deco style all in white with curved corners. One was on Van Dyke and 13 Mile and another was on Dequindre south of...
