I remember getting pecan logs as a kid at a Stuckey's near Flint on I75. It was a major treat back in the day.

Absoltuely JC - a trip to the UP and a cabin rental for 2 weeks as a family - always contained a stop at Stuckeys!! Their pecan logs were to die for. Many of the Stuckeys stores along 75 are still identifiable by their architecture.

Attachment 2239The ones that are strung along I70 have the same architecture that I remember.
This one is from the internet

"East, west, home is best"! - Just got back from our holidays as well. I see I am behind in my reading.

CFG - I promise to be a good boy while you are gone if JC would only take the bribes I offer.

JC - What kind of a belt would you like? Jack, Southern, or maybe some Maker's? I'll do anything to avoid the "Ruler", you name it.

Speaking of BI, I see he's going to be in the HRD at the ASG.

I stopped at the Sinclair station in town and found a few nostalgic items inside. I was disappointed there was no Dino soap but there were a few cool things.

You're right ... it was a great day for watching the Tigers win, while eating freshly picked western Wayne County blueberries. And it was nice to ride on new I75 past Mexicantown and the rest of the gateway project. I love new cement.

What do you mean? If you mean the old Detroityes, look down at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, J. I looked high and low ... just not low enough.

Those free Arby's roast beef sandwiches are delicious!

That's not fair. Now I don't feel so bad for hitting so many area stores in one day.

The whole class had to stay late because someone was making fun of Jimmy Jet, errr Sr. James Marie during the PA announcements. The shenanigans and laughter were heard later via the PA intercom unbeknowst to the class while the teacher was out of the classroom. When asked to identify the culprit, the whole class remained silent. The showing of solidarity was worth the few extra minutes after class.
