The Westland store is still open, and is not on any closure lists that I know of. But it's just a matter of when, not if. There's a store in Grandville too, but it will probably disappear when...

I drove through this intersection every day going to work from 1999 to 2008 [[WB I-96 to NB Telegraph and the reverse in the evening).

Lots of red-light running, and people not respecting lanes. ...

Well, not quite yet. Lampert has revised his bid as of this morning and Sears is going to ponder it. The circus continues.

Here's what the Sears store at Briarwood looked like on New Year's Day. We've traditionally used this store as a pass-through to the mall since it's much easier to park near one of the Sears doors,...

Westland's Sears is still open [[and is not on the new closing list).

Briarwood's Sears was on the last batch of announced closings. Not sure of the closing date, but probably real soon now if it...

There was one on West Chicago & Monica, just west of Livernois. I can't recall the entire name, but the Google Street View image shows "Bill [letters missing] Auto Parts." Here's the GSV link:

I remember this place as John F. Lawhon Furniture before GTC took over the building. We ordered a living room set there and put down a $50 deposit. Never got the furniture since the place closed...

The Escape is built off of the Focus platform. The Edge is built off the same platform as the Fusion.

1976 was the worst in my memory. I was a telephone installer then, working in NW Detroit and Redford. They sent a bunch of us to Oakland and Macomb Counties for several days, working 14 hour shifts...

My wife, sometime in the summer of 1954 in Inkster.

JCP is still there, was in it last week.

I graduated high school in 1969, and I only ever had one snow day, in 10th or 11th grade. The worst part is that the school bus had already dropped us at school, then they canceled. I had to walk 2...

Of course. I should have figured that one out.

I wonder what the attraction was. Maybe we don't want to know. :)

I don't recall any others of its size or style in that immediate area, but my work area's eastern boundary was Dexter itself [[the church at 13500, across the street, for example was in a different...

I've never heard it pronounced any way other than with the stress on the last syllable [[your second example).

West sider here, if that matters. :)

That vacant lot was 13501 Dexter. The building was U-shaped, with the front door at the center of the U, facing Dexter. From your description, it could have been although I don't recall much...

Short list: Drug dealing in the basement in the same room as the telephone equipment. Rats. Roaches. Dead elevator. No secured entrances. Tenants with an extreme aversion to strangers. Unlit...

They probably did, but I can't recall them. Us telco guys just had the addresses of the bad places etched into our brains. [[13501 Dexter was the grand prize winner of them all.)

Definitely 11762 Kentucky. In my telephone installer days back in the 1970s, I was in this place often. The apartment entrance was on the west side of the building, hence the Kentucky addressing.

My grandfather retired and moved to a small town in South Carolina. In 1959, when I was 7, we drove down there for our summer vacation. One day, our parents dropped us off at the town park so they...

It was a Carrabba's Italian Grill. It has since been renovated and is now an On The Border restaurant.

Also, that old Service Merchandise building has been torn down. The north half of the...

But that's not what Disney stores are these days. The last one I was in a couple of years ago was essentially a "princess shop." No wall of plush stuff, no adult clothing at all, no expensive art...

They were. I have a friend who did a lot of the design work for the new lights, and that was the plan from the start.

To add to that, the NFL couldn't care less that WJBK considers itself a "flagship station." That deal is only between the Lions and the station and doesn't involve any regular-season game...
