Nicole Curtis is back in Town

**Honky Tonk** · January-13-15, 01:27 PM

Where's MotorCityTrikes? He was looking to move to Detroit, funding for his business, and a life-partner. I'm thinking he could cross all three off of his to-do list.

Nicole and you should meet sometime. The knowledge that you posses on local houses and their history would seem to me be very valuable to her if she wanted to take a crack at a house that has historical significance in Detroit that needs some restoration you would be the guy to talk to no doubt.

My dad, who is now 70, refers to it as "the Boulevard".

Did anyone else catch Nicole’s new show on HGTV last night? “Rehab Addict Rescue.” Instead of her own projects, she’s helping eight overwhelmed Detroit homeowners.

The first house featured was in Indian Village [[Burns south of Kercheval - I found it on streetview.) As a former West Villager I’m looking forward to the upcoming episode there.

I love the authenticity of her work, although her kitchens and baths might be a bit too authentic for me. But it’s so nice to see walls not being torn down left and right. And the ubiquitous granite and gray paint.

I did! Not a bad renovation on a $40,000. budget. Looking forward to future episodes.

I agree - a lot of work for $40k. But with such a modest renovation budget, the homeowners bit off a lot. I’m sure quite a lot remains to be done.

lol so I guess that user desperately asking for candidates here really was her and not a scam after all.

I thought the same.

Thanks for saving the Ransom Gills House, Nicole.

Definition of “Daisy Duke’s”:

Really short tight-fitting cut-down blue jean shorts. Derived from the shorts that Daisy Duke [[Catherine Bach) used to wear on the old “Dukes of Hazzard” TV show.

WOW! Thanks for the post, sincerely!

Actually I met her when she was here working on the Ransom Gillis House. Sat in the back of the black Escalade and played with the newborn"s toes. [[he giggled) She's a nice young lady and if she found a way to support herself and her family legitimately, more power to her. Truth be told, if someone would pay me to wear Daisy Dukes on TV I would.

We all pray and ask God to make sure that day never comes.

Another good episode this week. A nice gay couple in Highland Park. Now that their house is livable I hope the wedding has been planned.

Highland Park can use all the love it can get. The historic district in HP does have some potential.

I have never seen her in Daisy Dukes; mostly jeans or shorts

Well at least she's hedging her bets with the crucifix tattoo!
