Did they do anything to change their transmitter recently? Ever since [[<- note correct spelling, Richard) they went digital I could pick up their signal over-the-air in Ann Arbor, either with...

Ride a train for Halloween

Celebrate Halloween with the Michigan Transit Museum, Sunday October 22 and Sunday October 29.

Bring the kids/grandkids/nephews/nieces/... in their Halloween...

Until their first child gets to be 4 years old, then it's off to the suburbs and their relatively functional school systems.

The big issue here is that the existing Norfolk Southern line goes nowhere near a significant traffic generator {drumroll} - DTW. The former Wabash line that skirts DTW goes nowhere else significant...

Aha, a local issue, that explains why I didn't see any mention in state elections. May have been just in Highland Park where I grew up, remember my father explaining the "whole bottle" thing to...

I know there are some historians here with much better research chops than mine, and would appreciate their help.

Some friends and I were having a discussion on unusual laws, and it brought up a...

Probably inside jobs.

I predict theft of ICE vehicles in general to increase sharply once electric cars are really rammed down our throats. New electric cars as well, for their batteries.

I wish they would just widen I-94 through Ann Arbor, like they've done in Kalamazoo and Jackson. It's a parking lot between Ann Arbor-Saline and State every weekday between 4 and 7 PM.

I haven't partaken since the 80s, but all I hear is that modern scientifically cultivated cannabis is way more potent than the "skunk" or "ditch" weed of that time.

This goes back a ways, but wasn't it called "Dixie Creme" or "Dixie Queen" or something similar back in the 60s - 70s? Last time I went there was with a friend in about July 1972 after a munchie...

I remember hearing that on WXYZ 1270 AM in the mornings getting ready for school.

^^

Outside storage has not been good for those cars. They get washed periodically to keep dirt from trapping moisture, but still, lots of rust and other deterioration. They really need indoor...

Michigan Transit Museum volunteer [https://www.michigantransitmuseum.org, also on Facebook] here, come out to Joy Park in Mt. Clemens on Sundays to ride our train. Last two Sundays in October are...

Could it have been "Carousel" at the Fox?

Note how it is a matinee and everyone waiting to get in is dressed up.

Drove under it today; it is quite a bit tall over I-96 and the railroad tracks, possibly contributing to its "flexibility"
Hopefully it won't end up like this:

I don't know anything about Mr. Harte, but well remember their store on Woodward in Highland Park -- one of my parents' Sunday rituals was, after church at St. Ben's, to "go down and get the papers",...

Dayton, OH now has battery-electric buses; they can - and do - run on battery for several miles where there is no overhead power:

More pictures of these [and lots more Dayton transit] at...

DSR used those old Twins on John R. North as well, always seemed like they were going to fall apart at any moment.

Chicago had buses similar to those that ran on propane; apparently in the 1940s...

Would that Louis Rose be the same one that ran a DeSoto dealership on Woodward at Louise in Highland Park, roughly where Bill Snethkamp is today?

Picture is a framecap from a film taken out the...

And here's someone fixing up a 1946 ValKeen/Detrola Model 572 radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdD7M4hvVSM

Note how he has replaced nearly all of the capacitors [[one of which was causing...

The straight-up-script logo looks similar to the Motorola logo of the same era - were the companies associated?

It likely should have the capacitors and resistors checked, if they haven't been...

Are there any historians here who know after whom Grixdale was named? In a past life I knew some people named Grix, but they lived on Greendale - go figure.

More likely [s]he is from Boston. They're called "rotaries" there, and they are complete anarchy, at least they were years ago when I drove through them.

Like this?

BTW - anyone else remember Brown's Creamery in Highland Park?
