I guess I just don't see the "value" in this particular building. I don't want to see every empty building torn down, but I feel this one is an offensive eyesore.
Im inclined to agree with Archfan,...

Why is that eyesore at I-94 and I-75 the envelope factory still standing? I used to think it was funny that there was a ghost factory there. Not anymore.

It's hard to pretend that it's ALL about the health of workers when they allow people to smoke at the casinos.
I work in the amusements industry, and once the smoking ban came in, the earnings from...

B.S. Unless the dispatcher is on the phone with 200 people on hold, this is ridiculous. Now, which precinct is this, or were you calling downtown?

I came across this old Sanders candy box that showed locations in the lid.
I though this might be from the 50s. Any other thoughts?

North of Lansing on US 127 near Ithaca there is a windmill farm. Those things are huge. I've seen many of them heading east on I-696 from Farmington over the past year or so. No idea where they're...

You holier-than-thou pinheads have a LOT of balls judging people who've been dead for years. [[IE, Ty Cobb and white southern people in general)
Any student of human anthropology can tell you that...

I guess I walked right into that one. Didn't realize it was such a morass. I just heard a story from someone I believed.

I found this photo of the area marked 1930, but it looks to be a 1920s image.

It could be that the riverfront airport was only planned for there, and they probably realized that was not the ideal location with all the building going on. Maybe Gar Wood asked them to reconsider...

Search as I might, I never found an online map of Detroit for the 1920s era before 1936. I was able to get some maps which show the lower east side riverfront as it got filled and built upon.
I...

Hermod, do you have a year range for this?

I've heard that the early maps were divided up into sections, the Novi area being number 6.
Or Roman numeral VI - No VI

Blight giveth, and blight taketh away. :mad:

Claude, I can't believe you think they owe you a new screen because you had an accident with it. A WARRANTY is different from an INSURANCE policy.
The new car warranty or extended warranty you...

My daughter recently moved to Wisconsin and we had to mount a front plate on her car.
Less than $10 at the discount auto parts store and 4 min. with a screwdriver took care of it.

I've always been a fan of this kind of photo display. I don't know if Detroiturbex is on the forum, but good job.
There are books with buildings and scenes in the D like...

"Indian Mounds" is a misnomer as they were built centuries before Native Americans crossed over the Bering land bridge. A lot of mystery still exists about who the "Mound Builders" actually were and...

I'm sure they did sell goods, cotton, wood or whatever they had to anyone who wanted it. Even to the British before they decided to blockade the east coast...

And no one can deny early pioneers...

The United States declared War on Britain in 1812, after years of insults perpetrated via their navy, i.e. outright piracy and illegal impressment of American sailors into the British navy.

Obama's brother struggles

You'd think if your brother was President of the US, you'd be able to even get an upgraded Kenyan shack.

This guy had a book deal with Simon and Shuster that was...

That's funny!
There's a logging show on the tube where the guy felt his son betrayed him. He called him a "Benny McDonald". ;)

Goose, you're a dick. You want to imply that since these boys might have been in town to pick up some weed that makes them fair game for some murdering low-life dirtbags?
Maybe if sections of the...
