Actually, an Aquarium of the Great Lakes sounds like a good idea, focusing on the fauna of our very own local waters. Maybe a transition section on the changes in habitat as one goes from the Great...

I agree with drive what you want, but I think it's silly for people to own a huge pickup for the once a year or once every two years they need the carrying or towing capacity. The couple of times...

The only tracks that can afford the price of entry for F1 are the traditional races from way back [[England, Belgium, Monaco) and the ones with national or state governments willing to write a huge...

Okay, I just looked at a map, and MCS is definitely closer to Downtown than is the New Center station. I think my other points remain valid, though. New Center allows Amtrak to access more business...

It would be pretty cool to have MCS used as a train station again, but it only works if your sole objective is to move people in and out of downtown Detroit, because continuing the present service to...

Mmmm...it seems the topic here is representative democracy, and in my opinion a situation where a minority of voters can consistently elect a majority of representatives is not representative. I'm...

Which means that, having grown up in New Jersey in the 60s and learning to drive in the early 70s, with tons of circles, I have the advantage. The circles around here are super easy compared with one...

In New Jersey when I was younger we called them traffic circles, and they were placed in all sorts of high-traffic intersections [[think of a hypothetical intersection between Telegraph and Woodward...

Nah, the worst stretch of road I know of is Southfield Rd from Birmingham to the beginning of the freeway. If you get on Southfield at Maple and drive at a normal speed, you will be stopped at every...

Would love a DTW-BZN, time at Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks, JAC-DTW. Just checked, and Jackson Hole seems to be sold out all summer, with only First Class available to/from Bozeman in August, at...

Yep. I went to a Rite Aid in Burton [[only appointment available) and had to show ID.

IDK, I'm pretty lefty, and I've read about the plans for the invasion of Japan, mostly because I've developed an interest in Japan's history, and I agree on net that the nukes saved lives, both...

Right. I seem to remember winter itself wasn't too bad, and we had a brief warmup in March or April, and I was thinking maybe we would have an early spring and summer, then we had a really chilly and...

This is great! Ruth Ellis is on my short list of fairly sizable year-end donations, and I'm glad to see them building bigger accommodations to accomplish their mission.

What about "Superstition" and "Living For the City"? Two of Stevie's greatest. So many of these songs evoke a particular time in my life. Like "My Cherie Amour" was all over the radio in the summer...

A-fucking-men!

I doubt I could get an appointment with my PCP in under four days. Any procedure? There never seem to be appointments available less than two months in the future. I suppose if i had Bill Gates' [[or...

Way back when I was in junior high, 55-or-so years ago, my parents bought me a desk and bureau from Ethan Allen. Twenty-or-so years later, I used a Ford profit-sharing check to finish my bedroom with...

IME, wait times are very branch-dependent, probably owing to the quality [[or lack thereof) of branch management. When I worked in Dearborn, the Dearborn branch was notorious for long waits. One year...

Someone also should look into the accrediting agency that worked with ICE on this atrocity. Gives accreditation a bad name.

My first reaction was WTF??, and my reaction remains WTF??. I bet Stephen Miller came in his pants when he learned about this one. Actually, since most undocumented immigrants in the Detroit metro...

Ewww!! Shoe leather much? I'll take medium rare thanks.

Right. When travelling with someone using a wheelchair, you park [[hopefully in a disabled spot near the elevators), so up in one elevator, check in in the garage, go up another level to TSA, then...

I gave up on the Freep one Monday when i bought one on the way to get breakfast before visiting someone in the hospital, and literally 2/3 of the Monday edition was sports. Sorry folks, but things...

Well, I'm sure that's a low bar to clear :p Although most of the money earned in Western Wayne is because of the car company that didn't go Chapter 11 during the recession.
