Lurked for early years at the urging of my brother CaseyC, joined around '03. Drifted away when Kilpatrick trolls joined up but continued to occasionally lurk or when I wanted to get the skinny on...

Haven't been here in a while, but always find interesting threads when I check in, like this one.

I see in MikeM's scans that at 14100 Mack @ Eastlawn was the Ferenc Varga Sculpturing studio. The...

Let them rename it. It will always be Bar Bar to me. Oh, and good luck to the new proprietors. I'll pop in when I can..

Yes, twice. First some field outdoors near GVSU. Then an outdoor fest @ some racetrack outside of GR in '72. It was then called the Clarksville Motor Speedway, now I-96 Speedway, I believe. Event...

That's a bitchin' building. Isn't there a lot of ground floor "cladding" concealing the detailing on that building? I hardly remember looking at the building other than at the street level elevation....

Without consulting the wayback machine, I recall this building's inclusion in one of Lowell's old webisodes, and a funny comment about the harmonious Greek revival portico. Cannot have been gone all...

More fairly accurate observations. Muskegon is another de-industrialized small town. Hardscrabble and owning a huge inferiority complex, but has a lot of upside, too. My father's side of the...

Isn't this happening in public education, too?

All of WeMI looks to and travels to Chicago for their big city experience. Can you blame them? Some already have and more will but come on. Many comments spoken are true and there is a large...

How about a shout out for the veteran poster artist Carl Lundgren. He posted a sneak preview of this poster on facebook a while back. It reminds me of a fast-forwarded 2010 version of the '69...

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers as a trio? Maybe. Usually, especially back then, there were four or five "messengers" along with Art. Art's technique was not very "subtle" for trio work,...

He's from Holland, yes. "Amway Dutch country AKA Michigan's Bible Belt" mixes SE MI/WE MI rivalry/resentment w/generalized/confused facts.

W/o backchecking the wiki, this I already know. His...

Mph....snicker, shoves hands in pockets, drops chin, turns around and shuffles away..

Generally speaking, a certain segment of the population does not like the idea of people robbing legitimate businesses with threats of armed violence. It just seems criminal.

I think Danny used to call those "Crackhead Estates". Used to crack me up.

Thanks for sharing. Very nostalgiac. I never knew that "service stations" sold Naptha, which I know as a useful solvent for cleaning and finishing, as in wood finishing. Why would the general...

I worked a couple of Bamboo concerts at the Silverdome in the '70's. One was Peter Frampton, w/Steve Miller and J. Geils? [[can't remember exactly 'cause saw a number of concert combinations there...

Oooh! A ghettopalmetto bug. Stomp! Thanks, Mr. PQZ.

Thanks for posting and including the obit. It filled in some blanks for me. I'd heard interesting stories of him and the warehouse filled with art and of his driving around in a Rolls, or...

Where is Osama Bin Laden?

Only at the original AFB a few times. Once, while I was sitting at the bar a small entourage hustled in. I was approached by a pilotfish, who asked, "Would you give up your seat for 5$ for Sergei...

Not liking some of the tone here. Another Rebellion? That'll accomplish a lot. Maybe like the near total exodus of Detroit's middle class of all colors. People are not "rebelling" anywhere else...

Worst in a crisis in history, for sure. Not sure the mentioned offense rates very high, though. How about failure to recognize a crisis, failure to rightsize government, govt. employees, govt....
