Screw the mural--that is one really nice-looking BMW.

I don't see the argument for Friedman being "behind the times." If anything, his column is a good example of what would be a good prescription for Detroit's business resurrection, that is, start-ups...

Toolbox, I think J-Rocker was joking a bit re: hipsters and their fondness for fixies. Maybe I'm wrong...

Okay, yeah, it's a testament to the dumb Detroit voter who thinks, yeah, I know that guy from TV. Let's vote himt to council. Still, though, a lot of people thought that a gay dude wouldn't stand a...

The circumstances that lead to long response times are totally understandable. That's something that the average officer has no control over. What the officers do have control over is how they...

Gsgeorge, thank you for the update. I posted a thread a week or so ago to scope for updated info on the GM plant conversion and got some downer responses. Trusting that your info sources are legit,...

So bummed I'm going to miss this year. Planned my bi-monthly Detroit visits badly this time around [[I was just there like 3 weeks ago). My uncle was one of the Dally founders and still hangs out...

I had a work-related injury to a finger joint, and I knew something was wrong, so I had them do an x-ray and the tech, who probably isn't qualified to flip a burger at McD's told me nothing was...

Does anyone know when the film studio announced in February for the former GM Centerpoint Truck Plant is supposed to begin transitioning? Articles [[like this one, from back in...

You're right. It's happening a lot in Chicago. Developers were drunk on the profits of condo developments a few years back, and by the time they got midway through some of their unfinished projects...

The "quick fix" mentality should have died with the 1980s. By now, Detroit should have realized that it doesn't have a lot going for it, except for what it has left. And the city should capitalize...

Matty should sell it to the city, the city should grant it to an artists collective, and let them use it as a giant sculpture/canvas/event space, and occassionally rent it out to Hollywood as a film...

My uncle was good friends with Billy and helped him out a lot after the accident. Billy never paid back the large amount of money my uncle gave him, but whatever. Life happens.

I was casually reading nytimes.com and came across an obituary for Billy Reedy, a family friend, better known as the owner of Reedy's Bar in Corktown [[which later became The Works), and even better...

When I lived in Hamtramck I looked out to my back yard one day and noticed someone had chainsawed my one ghetto palm to a few large pieces. I didn't really mind, aside from the trespassing. If they...

D.D., I get that it was a brilliant exploitation of America's freedom of "religion" and opportunity, but the thing I'm confounded by is that it has lasted as long as it has. It's kind of a cliche,...

Funny, with all their money, that's the best website they could do? I tried clicking on the "Write Us" tab, and, of course, I get a 404 error. Creeps.

Really? The voice of Bart Simpson? Amazing. I would have thought she would have been attuned to the scathing satire of Matt Groening, and would know better. Anyway, this is not a religion. It is...

Probably trying to avoid guilt by association as much as possible.

I think it was around 2005? A little while after WSU bought it and closed the radio station. I could be thinking of a different call letter sign.

The difference is the Catholic church doesn't force you to pay. Scientology centers should be taxed. If they were, I'd say by all means open up shop. Other than providing a commercial building...

When I worked in real estate in Corktown we had the "dome home" listed. This was a few years ago, when the asking price was $200,000+. We got calls about it nearly every day. Showed it a few...

They used to have a storefront in Royal Oak, and they would stand on the corner at Main & Fourth and offer "personality tests" to everyone. Tenacious buggers, too. They would follow you across the...

The National Trust for Historic Preservation is on the case. They sent out a mass email a few minutes ago. A colleague got this one at her office in Chicago:

TAKE ACTION NOW: DETROIT ICON...

It was just a blind guess. Typically schedules are relative to time of day. Certainly the schedule has to be thought out at some point. One can do the math, but in order to have a train of two or...
