When I first read the heading to your post, an image flashed into my brain of Peter Sellers complaining "I have a boomp on my head". God, that was a classic.

As a retired police officer, I can tell you exactly how we estimate crowds.
We count legs and divide by two. Simple.
Out here in Las Vegas it was so marginal I didn't even bother to look.
Forgive me, but I think the Dodge Fountain is nothing but a nightmare. When Mrs. Dodge bequeathed the bucks to the city for it, I'd just bet that she had something like the Scott Fountain on Belle...
Y'know, in a perfect world, all outfield stands would be exactly the same dimension, to the inch. But, then, in a perfect world, I would be the only one living so it wouldn't matter. [[Hey, just...
You gotta remember that old Tiger Stadium [[nee Briggs, nee Navin) was rusting apart. Would have cost a fortune to make necessary repairs. Was easier to build the new ball park. Nothing is...
Amen, from this non believer. When you're dead, you're dead. Ain't no hereafter.

My dear wife is a baseball nut, so she pays out a hefty sum every year to our cable provider [[Cox Cable, Las Vegas) to get every Tiger game. Well, nearly; the west coast teams black TV out.
I can't believe that there are people who think these horribly defacing graffiti drawings are nice. They are the brainchilds of goons, y'know. :[[
" Why is he voting uncommitted in the Democratic primary? What are the issues holding him back? He really didn't articulate ANYTHING!"
Few politicians do, other than double talk. They're all...
Quite welcome, beachboy! My wife and my cat both think I'm still on the good looking side, but there's a little bias there, y'know. :)
The Book Tower, to me, was always the signpost of downtown Detroit. As I always lived very close to Grand River, it was the horizon marker that I stared at for years and years. Yup.
I surprised you don't have more to say about SRESS. They were a huge story and their controversy was likely decisive in Coleman Young being elected mayor.
Never worked on STRESS [[Stop The...
Yup. My garage here in Henderson, Nevada. [[Henderson??? Where the heck is Henderson??? Look it up.)
Nothing, really, just that I always felt the line "we doan' need no steenkin' badges" was one of Hollywood's greatest lines. But then, I'm warped.
[QUOTE=CassTechGrad;639978]What are your memories about this issue, Stop STRESS Flyer,QUOTE]
Never worked with STRESS. Didn't know much about it. I was busy with speeders and red lights.
Thanks! Yeah, that be me, back about 1976 or so. They were good days. The post-riot years [[1967) marked a comeback for Detroit, and today it seems to have really taken off. I was back for a...
Just some old stuff from my photobin. The Mexican guy says "Badges? Badges? We doan' got no badges. We doan' need no steenkin' badges!" [[Apologies to Humphrey Bogart and "Treasures of the...
Can't add much to it. '49 Ford is correct. Little before my time. But not much. :)
Car is a 1949 Ford.
Not to thread hijack, but.................
Whenever I read about the Michigan Legislature doing this or doing that or doing nothing, it makes me so happy that I moved to Nevada nearly forty years...
This whole thread and the comments offered makes me once again sad that Lowell doesn't offer a "like" button. :)
That was Jjaba.
Yeah, this age-old transplant to Nevada checks in here every day. Memories abound! You can take the Detroiter out of Detroit, but you can't take the Detroit out of a Detroiter. Although I am...
