Unfortunately or fortunately for some, this will be my last entry on this website. My original start for this thread asked for sensible dialog on the title of a job fair in the city.


I grew up...

So much for establishing a non inflammatory dialog. Have at it folks, sorry I brought this up.

I get all this, I know that racism still exists. And it is because of the racist attitudes of some in the metro area that I am wondering if the language could be more PC and therefor not be...

Thanks for the input, this is what we need to be doing. I am asking for dialog on this subject. This is all about perception. This could be perceived as discriminatory only because of the phrase,...

Two questions here regarding the Job Fair for "People of Color" held in Detroit: http://www.mbkalliance.org/

1. What exactly is a person "of color"?
2. If this means non whites how is this any...

Motor City Casino back when their deli was in the basement had the best grilled CB on rye in the city, IMHO. Not as good now.

Regarding the transportation issue on the ballot and the lack of skilled trade schools:
I attended Wilbur Wright Trade School in the 60's. At the time it was the best automotive training school in...

Just wondering, I lived in this area. Where are all the Dutch Elm trees?

Lived in the Warren, Jefferson, Chalmers, and Conner area. Loved to go on Mack and Warren and hit the bars, the patrons would usually give out coins. Would often revisit the same bars later. Hated...

Mike:

The tower I am referring to was more like the high tension towers that are in the Edison corridors. I had metal pegs on one leg of the tower to climb up with. We had to shinny up the first...

I always thought to myself that if I was the enemy I would just launch an attack at 1 PM on the first Saturday of the month. Hummmmmm

Comes up Invalid attachment.

When I was a teen around 1965-66 my best bud and I decided to go under a cyclone fence and climb a very high tower 60 ft. plus in a property at the foot of Lakewood or maybe Alter.[[not sure) We made...

I would bulldoze everything outside of the Outer Drive Boundary and recreate the city with a much smaller infrastructure and affordable housing for the low incomes. Why try to keep maintaining...

How about "Love makes the world go round", by Deon Jackson, great song.

On a side note, has anyone ever looked into an inflatable shelter for the homeless that they could keep in a backpack or shopping cart? I don't know if this is viable or not but it would be a better...

Didn't get to see the whole article but it mentioned some famous designer wanting to build Quonset huts in Detroit. Is this true????
I remember the ones on Conner, used to know friends there when...

Maybe Mr. Sheffield is right after all. Boycott all ticket sales and sporting memorabilia from the NBA and why not throw in the NFL too? That will bring the super rich owners to their knees! More...

In todays Detroit News there is an article written by Mark Hicks about the Detroit Association of Black Organizations calling for fans to "Not spend money on tickets and merchandise". Their CEO,...

Used to be a White Tower and a White Castle kitty corner from each other on Gratiot and Eight Mile Roads. White Castle on the Northwest corner and a White Tower on the Southeast or possibly the...

Sitting on our front porch with my dad with loaded shotguns at our side. Saw tracked vehicles going down Canfield, made a hell of a noise! Tore up the pavement too. I worked at a bar supply company...

One time when we were doing line sheets, that is, transferring service in the alley from an old aerial cable to a new one on the opposite side of the alley. I was up on a pole when I heard a lot of...

Reminds me of the time the city tried to save money by purchasing Japanese PIC cable. The cable pairs were all one color! If the ID bindings were gone [[Which they often times were), you had to probe...
