Yes, 10-digit dialing is now required, even if you and the called party are both in the same area code/NPA. The prefix 1 is no longer required when placing the call from cell phones.

CBS originally stood for the Columbia Broadcasting System, not Service.

I have no source to quote, but as someone who lived on Greenfield near Seven Mile in the middle '60s [[when that section of the Lodge was new), I believe the escape ladders originally had chains to...

I attended Winship from grade 3A [[September 1964) thru grade 7B [[June 1968), so I was only in the junior high section for half a year. Family moved to Oak Park after that.

M-59 at US-23 and I-96 at Wixom Rd. come to mind.

Why does the Lodge still have a posted 55 mph speed limit [[which almost no one observes) when most of I-75 has a limit of 70 mph [[until just north of I-94)? Weren't both freeways built to Interstate...

I took such a connection back around 1988 to visit Boston. Not sure when the Detroit-Toledo link stopped.

One line of dialog turned me off right away: "Do you want a soda or something?" Any resident of Detroit would have used the word "pop" instead. Did the writer[[s) even run the script by an actual...

Thank you, EastsideAl. Great information!

I've seen many repairs made to surface streets with concrete pavement that consists of sawing out small damaged sections and then pouring concrete replacement patches or strips. This helps, but also...

The speed limits on Detroit metro freeways haven't gone up. On the contrary, the 55mph limit on the Lodge causes some faster vehicles to change lanes recklessly, often passing on the right side to...

I agree with your points, dtowncitylover.

Detroit-based W. B. Doner advertising created that generic spot that was localized for several stores around the country and filled with a special of the week and tagged with the store logo and hours.

I had the same situation last year after a windstorm took a branch off a tree and it fell on my power line drop, shorting one side to ground. I knew enough to unplug the fridge, computers and...

I agree! I teach my teenager with her learner's permit: When preparing to turn left, signal first, move into your turn lane before you have to, then slow down." Braking without warning before you...

There are elaborately-marked bike lanes along Northwestern Highway between 12 Mile Rd. in Southfield and Orchard Lake Rd. in West Bloomfield. Unfortunately, I've never seen one cyclist using them. ...

I was taught that trucks and other slower vehicles should drive in the rightmost lane unless passing an even slower-moving vehicle or preparing to make a left turn. In the last few months, however,...

I know the above was posted in 2009, but the Indian buffet near OU is Rangoli at 3055 W. Walton Blvd. in Auburn Hills. It's still a good buffet in 2016.

I remember some signals being replaced in the early 1970s when I started to drive. On the main highways that had higher speed limits and greater distances between signals like Telegraph Rd., the...

The hosting duties rotated between several WRIF DJs including Arthur Penhollow, Ken Calvert, Jim Johnson and Steve Kostan. I don't think Ann was at WRIF at the time.

Curious to see if the majority prefer their sliders with mustard and ketchup or without. The default burger has only onions and the cheeseburger adds only cheese, but when I order them at the...

Not quadraphonic, but following up on the post by Meddle: I worked at WXYZ-TV in the mid '80s and we produced an hour-long music video show called "Video Cafe" that aired on the weekends. The audio...

Family moved to Detroit from Los Angeles in 1964 when I was 7 years old. My Dad was offered a good job at a private laboratory. We lived in a duplex apartment on Greenfield south of Seven Mile...

I worked at WXYZ from 1983 to 1987 and at WKBD from 1989 to the present. I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can.

Years ago, I loved The Voyageur, which is apparently still there at 525 South Riverside Ave. in St Clair. Great food and view of the freighters and other boats. Anyone been there recently?
