Well that's timely. Also unfortunate - one of my favorites. Le sigh. Bogartz' is pretty great for greasy bar food.

There's a difference between praising an area that you're familiar with and bashing an area that you don't know jack shit about. You're guilty of nothing :)

Big Dick Syndrome is something fierce...

Oh hell. I thought we got rid of Bham1982

Huh?

You need to reread, darlin. I never said whole block. And I count more than a four home turnover.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I posted a personal anecdote about living here. If you dont...

Actually, one family moved from the Farms [[downsizing), one from the Woods [[upsizing), and two moved within the Park [[houses had pools). There's us from Seattle, a family from Portland, one from...

Another +1 to the Pointes. We moved to the Park from Seattle in 2017. For us, the fact that there *aren't* big box stores five minutes from away is a huge selling point. They're ugly and don't...

And this is a key difference between architects and the general public. Pragmatism and design should be in harmony with one another - pragmatism should never trump design.

These homes were designed by a good architect. A team of good architects, in fact. Water runoff is likely managed by an underground cistern and stored to be used for irrigation and/or black water...

Agreed. We moved back to the area in August of 2017. That first winter - 2017/2018 wasn't terrible cold, but we had a TON of snow. How do I remember it so vividly? We have large driveway with no...

I dunno - based on the condition of the rail car sans grafitti, it doesn't look like the owner gives a damn about the exterior appearance anyway. Heck, the artistry gives the rusted shell a little...

100% agreed. Nobody loves going to the SOS - but they have leveraged technology to make it easier. If you're savvy enough to post on a web forum, then you're savvy enough to navigate the SOS...

I'm not sure...

Is that the same thing as the online appointment system? I booked an appointment about two weeks ago for 1pm on the 23rd at that location. This system is available at all SOS...

I'm happy to report that I used the online appointment system for the first time and it went smoothly. My appointment was yesterday, which was the earliest they had available when I booked it about...

Can't you make appointments now? On the SOS website it shows an option for it. I have yet to see how it works, but hopefully will make visits a little easier.

I know this is an old post, but I don't think it was answered. There are only two universities in Metro Detroit that have architecture programs: Lawrence Tech and UofD. If you include Ann Arbor,...

When I left school with my shiny masters of architecture degree, I couldn't sit down and produce a set of construction documents for a simple building. I could draw and digitally model a very pretty...

Oh, and I think 4's a twirly-loo too

I think they're supposed to be safer in terms of traffic fatalities. I don't love roundabouts - I think they're a pain and people fly through them too quickly. What I do find telling between 2&3...

ba-dum-ching

We can infinite regress on this all day long. He died probably because of blunt force trauma or internal bleeding or something like that. Because he crashed. Because an officer tazed him. Because...

I typed in detroityes and ended up on houzz :confused:

It is a sad state of law enforcement if the two alternatives are either abuse of power or not showing up.

Ooh we're getting somewhere with house info. What more do you have Charles? :)

See, now I would argue that modern architecture is any design that is rooted in the principles of modernism. One can build a modern home today [[well, if it was possible to build a home in a day). ...

No, I’m correct as stated. By all means, Sy. Do some research as to what modernism is.

As to the history of these two properties, hopefully p69rrh51 will chime in. He is the resident historical...
