Thanks, wash_man. The problem is that I only have one connector to the TV and one antenna. I can disconnect the antenna and connect it direct to the TV to get CBC, but that is a hassle.
In sum,...
If you're a Wings fan, get one with the capacity to get non-digital signal. I didn't, so I can't get games that are only on CBC [[or cable). :mad:
ddelaney,
As a resident of Woodbridge, I am biased, but I would highly recommend the neighborhood. Thefts are an issue here, I admit, but be smart [[use a club on your car, don't leave valuable...
Thanks Mikeg!
Those are excellent.
Should Oakland help Wayne? Yes. Should Wayne help Oakland? Yes.
It doesn't matter if our interests are the same, or if helping each other will help ourselves. That kind of attitude is childish and...
My wife and I both signed. Only 415 to go. :)
Sorry to spoil the party, but...
Do you really think the city's problems are economic? Sure, there has been a lot of mismanagement, but the mismanagement is less than 1/10th of the problem.

Faygo, are there any bigger versions of those maps we can see? They're fascinating.
I'm inclined to say that city council should be a herd of mindless sheep who do whatever Bing tells them. Yes, I know, this contradicts all ideas of democracy and fair representation, but the history...
This is an excellent example of government failing in its primary duty. You make something criminal to deter a person from doing it, because there is a penalty attached. If you only mete out the...
I agree. Every experience I've had with the police has been positive. Racial profiling is a problem, but that stretches throughout the justice system, not just the cops.
We've had two cars stolen. One was found by the police the next day, which was encouraging. Less encouraging was the fact that the thief was written up for Grand Theft Auto and possession of...
Note the "some students said" caveat in the DetNews story. I work in a high school, and you can get "some students" to say anything.
Anyone consider whether the students might be skipping anyway?...
Thanks for the clarification. I would point out that daddeeo just asked a question, and didn't slam Bing. From my point of view, the question is valid.
I don't recall Cockrel claiming he held an MBA that was purely fictional. Bing might make a better mayor than Cockrel, but I find it very hard to defend Bing's integrity.
Am I a shill now?
I'm looking at buying a second house in the city, as an investment [[both a personal investment and an investment in Detroit's future). Prices are insanely low, but of course there is the danger that...
As a newcomer to the forum, I'm kind of an outsider to this conversation. So take everything I say with a grain of salt. A couple observations:
I'm saddened by the tone of this thread. Good...
I'm a high school teacher with plans to a) get a PhD in philosophy from Wayne State, b) buy & fix up Detroit houses, and c) work for a magazine about revitalizing Detroit. The magazine [[so far as I...
Agreed. "By any means necessary" means that you would nuke Canada if that somehow helped you accomplish your goal. It is a shorthand for the fact that you have confused your own desires with the...
I agree with much you say, Professor, but I think you and I define "rich" differently. In my book, if you make more than $80,000 a year, you're rich, and you need to be giving back. The middle class...
I think we should rename the Woodward bridge over 8-Mile the "Monica Conyers Bridge". Then we could tax everyone who enters the city on the bridge, to show how hospitable we are to visitors.

Since we're talking about money, I would like to propose:
The rich owe the poor.
I'm not talking about politics and I'm not talking about welfare. I'm talking about time and energy and -- yes,...
I second this recommendation. Many of the bakers have spent time on the streets and time in jail, but they have put their lives together and are working to make their city a better place.
If you...
HA!
[[You bring cynicism to a new level.)
I love the conservatory, by the way. Asked my wife to marry me there.
If you're wondering why I had to ask my *wife* to marry me, so am I.
