Not sure it is the same, but there is a Blue Star bar at Joy RD. and Southfield.

Topinkas did burn down, but was rebuilt to exact detail. There also used to be Topinkas on West Grand Blvd near the Fisher. In the late 60's i was the parking valet for Laffreys.

I stopped buying the daily editions when they went to $1.50. Now i am not buying the Sunday paper anyomre after it went to $3.00. Besides the Sunday Edition usually has repeat stories from Fridays...

I am all for fixing the roads, but when you have the 5th higest gas tax in the nation and still the worse roads, which have not been fixed, how is having the highest gas tax in the nation going to...

The obvious answer is to have more police officers. Its nice to do a story, and chastise the department, but would also be nice if they had a solution to their story. The DPD has been overwhelmed...

As a retired Detroit officer, my heart goes out to the officer and his family. Detroit Officers have been underpaid for a very long time. In the early 70's Detroit Officers used to be one of the...

I have not been on line for some time, but am so sorry to hear this news. I totally enjoyed Gannon's perspective. He truly will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Lafayette market was on Lafayette between Livernois and Dragoon. It later changed its name to Lafayette Sales. They closed the Lafayette Store and reopened on Fort Street. The owner eventually...

Apparently some of you have not kept abreast of what a pit bull can do once it attacks a person. There have been cases where people have had to use baseball bats and other means to try to repel the...

Iversen's is still in business. They have a small store in Dearborn on Michigan Ave. east of Outer Drive.

As far as being a police officer in Detroit, it was knowing you where going to work in a city that was booming and you where going to help in keeping it a great city. Not to mention, in the early...

In the early 50s John F Ivory polo grounds where located at 8 Mile and Lahser road. At one time the old club house still stood behind what is now a vacant furniture store. We also had the West Side...

The bottom line is that you need to research each policy as they are not always forthcoming in telling you about the high deductible, nor whether you have any prescription coverage with the policy. ...

Motz that was under the Bronze and Silver. I was quoted through BCBS that the gold plan has low deductible but a $10,500 out of pocket expense for any catastrophic event regardless of the co-pay

Bobi did those prices show what the deductible was? When i checked with Humana the deductible was 10,000 dollars and must be met before coverage takes place.

The $800 bucks that i mention is after my subsidy.

There is nothing cheap about Obama Care. Sue you can get a policy for $200 bucks but it comes with a deductible of $12,700 dollars. The government fails to tell you that these cheap policies come...

Would it not be better to get all types of people to move back into Detroit than just Police and Fire? If we had a city that was more concerned about improving the conditions, people would want to...

For the record i am not bitter over the Belle Isle decision. I am bitter over the fact a once great city i grew up in and spend time in is going down the drain.

6.1 Million dollars could fix a whole lot of fire trucks in two weeks. It was not my intent to say the money would keep Detroit running. At this rate it will take a miracle to keep Detroit running.

Well we could have had 6.1 million extra dollars to use but our great Council people felt it was in their best interest to tell Snyder to go pound sand regarding Belle Isle

I personally knew Larry Nevers and believe me he was an outstanding police officer. I will not get into the detail involving his case other then to say a lot of politics played into the case. There...
