you people are too much "kumbayah", tree hugging for me. This city is FUCKED.

I think it's a compound problem. #1: Detroit was a "boom town", a hundred years ago. #2: A lot of people came here, from Europe, from the south, wherever, for work. These people had no allegience for...

I went to Guyton, for kindergarten, starting in Sept. 1969. Philip-Korte-Scripps. Only for one year. After that, I lived on Lenox, between Mack/Charlevoix & went to Carstens. If youv'e ever seen the...

I lived a little south of there @ Gunston and Gratiot, but I'm familiar with the Gratiot corridor. I remember the fire station, the xxx theatre @ Westphalia, Ray's party store, a lot of car lots, and...

You wanted an all black controlled city- you got it. Black mayor, black police chief[[ fucked), black controlled infrastructure. You got it- and it don't work. Who you gonna' blame? Don't blame anyone...

I read the info on Nedas' bio. Very tragic. Meanwhile, back in the D, we have our own third world problems. Fieger has always been an opportunist- from Dr. K to others. The brothas' mostly like...

No, the fire didn't reach the Vanity, as it was a few blocks away.

And, oh also, Fieger has an insatiable appetite for publicity. The more attention, the better. A "ten ton" ego. Sounds like someone else we know- huh?

Two things- #1 Dave Bing is a "stop gap" temporary mayor. He's too much of a buisness man, executive guy, out of touch guy to be embraced by the citizens. #2 Fieger has an affinity for blacks. Blacks...

Lived on Lenox, about five houses south of Mack during this time. Remember the dairy queen with the big cows' head? It's still there. Fleming Drug store? Tony's party store? St. Philip Neri church? I...

I know this may be a little "off subject", but I had to respond to some of the earlier threads about the predjudicial thing. Both of my grandparents were transplants here. My father's from europe [[...

It's nice to pretend, anyway!

Are we really the best sports town ? The best sports fans? The people in Boston/ New York/ Chicago/ Cinci/ Pittsburgh/ St. Louis, etc. may disagree. I heard the best sports fans are everywhere. Why...

There used to be a few on the eastside, along 94. The one @ Mt Eliott comes to mind. I think they were put in to compensate for the short on ramps when the expressways were built in the '50s. Looks...

If it's as difficult, as always [[ think colonoscopy & root canal at the same time ), to get a light rail line built- would the "leaders" settle for a much improved bus system with the same amount of...

We always used to go to the island, between the bridge & the beach. Good view with plenty of shade trees, if sun becomes too much. In the late 80's- early 90's, it was a party marathon. We used to...

Baby steps. Three miles of M-1 rail & see what happens.

I should have said "Oh, Danny Boy". My bad.

McDanny- it ain't happenin' laddie!

What I mean is- it seems like it would be easier to imbed rails in asphalt, rather than concrete. I hope something's happening.

dtown, could you elaborate on that. I was down Woodward for a ballgame not long ago & they're putting concrete down. Do you have any confirmed word on M-1?

My frustration with this topic is not aimed at you guys, but rather with the people near the top, who ultimately make all these [[in)decisions. All this regional polarization that exists has, and...

Just stick with the original plan to build M-1 from the river up to the Boulevard. See how the ridership goes. If the demand is there, then expand further up. If not, then don't. It really shouldn't...

If this whole regional transit idea was implemented, I'm sure people would use it. For some reason, Detroit has always had a hard time "getting things done." This isn't a recent phenomenon. I've...

I think it's a great program- to rid the streets of unregistered guns. It ain't the cure, but it's a positive step in the right direction. If "rights" have to be questioned to prevent a killing- then...
