The bar across the street was called "Sixence" and has been torn down. I believe that Pointe BBQ later became "Winetasters" and was closed when the state widened Van Dyke. As for other bars in the...
There is currently a gang on Gratiot Avenue assaulting elderly people at bus stops. I think that the police should put decoys at these stops and if these punks decide to sit upon one of these decoys...
This thread brought back many memories. Bought my second new car from Burke Pontiac on Gratiot near Houston-Whittier in 1965. Right next door was Fulton Chevrolet which is mentioned earlier in this...
"Everyone knows that Farrakhan is a bigot and there has been plenty of coverage of his racist statements."

There is a quionset hut on the south side of 22 Mile between mound and Ryan in Shelby Township that I am sure was purchased when they were removed from Conner Ave and rebuilt at this location. It now...
Wasn't Coleman the person who did away with STRESS?
As regards to STRESS being a reactionary response, I disagree. STRESS was started to make the bad guy think twice before pointed a gun at...

We had this with S.T.R.E.S.S. but the people didn't want it.
How about Hastings St.
If I'm not mistaken the A&W Drive-In at Rosemary and Conner was called Gieger or Gieger's Drive-In in the early sixties. Spent many a weekend evening watching the submarine races at the City Airport...
