I enjoy that they are removing the added front to expose the original pillars and steps that had been enclosed.

Sir Mouch, yes, dark and raucous at the time w/pool tables and occasional fights. Enjoyed the real yellow traffic light that looked huge indoors. Three lights tall w/lights working.

Canuck, you might be right about the derivation of the word. In the 60s, the Snug had its own entrance located in the corner of the building where Second and Canfield meet. It was mainly an Ice Cream...

I am thankful The Gem theatre survived the porn years to be moved and renovated. They were showing porn in the late 60s and early 70s.

Zorro!

We rode our bicycles across the bridge a few times around 68 thru 70. I remember segments of sidewalk that were simply missing. Some were 3 foot square. Barriers were in place but we could see clear...

Which would make it 2033, from conviction in March 2013.

Heh, a friend in CO says: "Don't Californicate!"

While a handicap placard does require visiting a SOS office, the worker handing out numbers for further service fulfills the placard immediately. There is no waiting beyond that first line, which can...

Hey Dan. Get well soon and best wishes. Thank you for your commitment to bettering Detroit! Huge props!!!

Oh I miss the Normandy. Went there a fair bit in the '70's. Great food, nice bar. The walls were plastered with autographed head shots of actors that had toured through with shows at the Fisher...

The problem seems to be heat damage to the LED ‘lamp’ itself. It’s packaged in the fixture tightly with the power supply and there’s no relief from heat buildup. The failure mode is dimming and...

Very happy this is being saved. It had been offices for the theatre dept, Bonstelle and Hilberry, up until the early 70's. Then they moved their offices, and shops, into 95 Hancock vacating this...

TJ's is at Second and Canfield. The entry is on Canfield, pretty non-descript, urinal up high on the wall.

I was lucky to live in the house next door to the featured one in my WSU days mid-70s, before the cobblestone. Our house was 3 apartments all of Hilberry grads at the time. She provided the force and...

What's up with District Detroit moving Masonic Temple? All their maps show it a block north from where it sits today.

I know it's boring but I'm gonna keep tossing this out there until someone...

While the practice may have been questioned since then, WSU's force was fully deputized as of 1971 when I got there. I recall comments and discussions regarding this. Regularly patrolling off campus,...

In the useless trivia dept: One day about 1968, Friends and I rode our bicycles 30 miles in circles in the big parking lot behind the church at Abington/Memorial. It was a warmup to riding out Grand...

Yes. I "grew up" at Strathmoor Methodist Church. The congregation moved to that location from the northwest corner of Hubbell and Schoolcraft I believe in the early-mid 50's. Born in 53, I have zero...

I went to St Ignace Thursday. So did the minis. Friday we all went west on US2. Today, Sunday, we are back in sync. Spoke with a few Mini owners at a rest area in South Dakota. They are hitting Mt...

Fun! Turns out I'm going to St Ignace Thursday and so are the Minis. Guess I'll be seeing a bunch up there. Wonder if it'll be windy crossing the Mighty Mac...

Went to Hack Shoes in the Sixties many times for footwear. East side of Livernois north of Seven Mile iirc.
