Yes, I remember one very hot Saturday leaving my office in the Dime Building/Chrysler House. Another building in that area—I think it was NBD—had a clock on the side of the building that showed the...

The Compuware/One Campus Martius building next door is only 232 feet. It doesn't appear the Hudson's building is twice that height, but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

A thousand pardons. I misunderstood your and Satiricalivory's posts. I thought you were referring to the riverfront.

It was never "something is better than nothing." Detroit was built on industry that, in the early 20th Century, was always located along waterways here and in other cities around the country and...

1984 seems kinda late for punk. I remember it being more in the late 70's. By 1980, it was "switchin' to glide" with New Wave.

Agreed. That's why I would be surprised to find out it was on Morang. Perhaps it was just a used parts shop that had an MGB hood, rather than an actual MGB parts supplier. It was long ago.

Yeah, it's funny, I don't remember where it was located or what the place looked like, but I remember the conversation. The guy told me it would take a few minutes, so I started walking toward the...

That's a good question. In 1981, I had an MGB that needed a new hood. I went to a shop somewhere on the East side that had Triumph and MG parts, and I think serviced the cars. It's so long ago that I...

That brings back a memory. I went to an investigative service firm's Christmas party there in 1991 or 1992. Great views. Unfortunately, it was the only time I was there. Can't believe it's been 30...

[QUOTE]Horrid coffee IMO no matter which local.[QUOTE]

It seems like people either love Horton's coffee or hate it. Not much in between. Personally, I like Horton's and Dunkin the best, despite...

I remember being able to dial just the last 5 digits when calling locally. It seems that lasted into the early 80's, but perhaps it was just the small community in which I lived.

What a great restaurant. Loved the Zip sauce. The one in Auburn Hills just didn't have the same atmosphere.

Had an apartment at Alden Park Towers in the mid-80s. On a couple of occasions, I found a thin layer of soot on my car in the morning. One of my neighbors said it was Edison "blowing out" the...

Perhaps I'm just an old dog, but I preferred to work at the office and be "home" at home. I have been working remotely since March, 2020. While there clearly are some advantages, I have found that...

Played there regularly in the late 80’s. Three 9-hole courses, one on the north side of Sibley, and two on the south. As I recall, I liked the north course the best.

Yes, I should have done a little research before posting my comment. I was questioning the state law from a purely legal standpoint, rather than a practical one.

Was the state law on residency ever challenged? I don’t recall. I’m not sure what the legal justification is for restricting cities from including residency as a condition of employment. It may be...

"...and documentation of the history, individuals, entities and ideas associated thereto."

A bit of McCarthyism in the 21st Century.

There was a Holiday Inn on the north side of Davison by the old city offices and court.

I laughed out loud when I read that, Meddle.

…all you Catholic girls…

Isn't there a plaque on the Bagley side of the Michigan Building commemorating the location? I don't know if that's the actual site, or just close to it.

There's no question that Ford had a number...

it wasn’t luck. Curtis” team conducted a title search. Had the Land bank properly recorded title, it would’ve shown up and she would not have dealt with the previous owners.

We all hope that's true, and that things will continue to improve throughout the city. But, those experiences can be hard to let go of.

A good friend of mine grew up in North Rosedale, which was...
