08, I live in and enjoy Dearborn. My neighborhood has lots of Ford employees, has decent schools and nice housing stock at affordable prices. Right next to Detroit and all it has to offer. Feel...

I got up to 115 on the connector between I-75 and Telegraph in a big, old Galaxy 500. I freaked out when the body started floating around on the chassis. A rush to be sure, but all my cars since...

I'm not arguing the point, but here is a a far more accurate representation of the Great Lakes basin. Image from http://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/basicinfo.html.

Yep, it's the old stone mill. Never been moved. The mill in the aerial photo is the gristmill, which was moved and the waterwheel added when the Village got infrastructure improvements. The stone...

P69, great images. Thanks!

Touche'. I absolutely agree that all the current wars have very little domestic impact. Perhaps a war tax should be implemented on all residents to make at least the financial impact of the war...

Based on the hugely stepped-up border security presence, bridge crossing hassles, and even the effect on pleasure boaters in the US/Canadian waters I'd say "no". We have not escaped unscathed. The...

Whatever happened to the Indian City Club that met on Pennsylvania near Allen Road in Riverview?

Chinman, Boblo boats are further south at Nicholson Marine in River Rouge.

Now float a Boblo boat into the drydock slip so people can see them and start raising some money to save them.

No, you can drive down there. It is the road to the truck ferry. I seem to recall all sorts of warning signs about not taking photographs posted at the end, but it is a public street all the way to...

It is across the railroad tracks from the former Pennsalt/Pennwalt plant. I wonder if if maybe there were years of dumping or burying of chemicals prior to platting of roads. I know the riverfront...

ACO has slowly been go after the dime store model if you ask me. They have less and less hardware, and more and more cheap Chinese tools. I don't go to a hardware to buy cheese balls and Mountain...

Huzzah to all the fort volunteers! What an extraordinary feat! Good to see the Fort getting some love.

I always thought NCO Row houses would make great homes. They are incredibly solid. ...

Wolverine beat me too it. I think the freeways look their best before they get around to mowing. I think the greater Chicago area uses a mixture of long and prairie grasses that give a soft green...

I don't know whether to shake my head in amazement or dismay. It does show an extraordinary amount of corporate tenacity, but also is just another costly roadblock on the road to a second bridge.

It is indeed the meter. Just got new gas mains on my street in Dearborn, and they are moving the meters [[yes, the actual meters) to the outside from the basement. DTE prefers to put them on the...

Omni,

Full disclosure, I was born in the suburbs and live in the suburbs, but I love Detroit. Yes, Detroit certainly has its issues. It cannot be denied. But I find it telling that despite the...

BIR - I think that attitude reflects what he has found here. Of course people are largely responsible for their own success, but a "suck it up" environment is less conducive to success than a "how...

The rendering is indeed completely boring. You think there would be some fantastical architecture for this pipe dream. Dome? Hell, how about floating condos, golden monorails, and mosaic covered...

I wish I could effectively search the DY website. This came up a few years back. If I recall correctly, it was definitely not shot in Detroit. I want to say it was Lake George or Lake Champlain in...

Looks terrific. A great showing by all. The pic of the guys next to the flag looks like a still from the movie "Taps".

Not to thread jack, but can you elaborate? I saw/heard that plane and thought it was a Yankee Air Force plane at first but for the markings and bizarre nose [[camera for mapping, doubt). Where is it...

I'm going to guess that it is the Gas Building with a blue flame on top.

What a cool place. I like the safe behind the ornate door. Hopefully it finds an owner that loves it and can afford the upkeep.
