  1. Does the city still own the trolleys that ran on Washington Blvd.? I agree that running those trolleys down Atwater St. is a great idea. I
  2. Apparently, it was determined that the Detroit 300 Conservancy was not a nonprofit. Try this link. http://www.campusmartiuspark.com/
  3. While I was at the Lions game last night I noticed a crack in the concrete running down the corner of a stairway from the last row of the lower deck all the way down to the field. Is this normal or is this an indication of some major structural problems?
  4. I like the old one. I can't really say why, just a matter of personal taste I guess.
  5. The same thing happened to me last month when I was taking pictures of the GM/UAW Training Center. And I've been a UAW member for 35 years so my dues help pay for that building. Security guards can be such jerks! Nice picture, by the way.
  6. Someone shot out the streetlight on my corner a few weeks ago. It took me 30 minutes to sweep up the glass. A quick call to the DPL and they replaced it four days later. You can't complain about service like that.
  7. What a beautiful picture, baldy. I adore Elmwood Cemetery. Cemeteries are such special places. When I travel I try to include a cemetery visit in the itinerary. So much can be learned by a stroll through a cemetery and the peace and quite are always a welcome bonus.
  8. An excellent shot, Zissou. I love the moody sky.
  9. Reasons why you need at least 5 hours of sleep Too many students obsess over finals. Get some rest before you permanently damage your health and your grade point average.
  10. Zachariah, I find it hard to comprehend that someone of your age, who has lived in Wayne County his whole life, has never been downtown. I remember going down with my mom or my grandmother when I was just a little kid. We
  11. DOWNTOWN MUNICIPAL PARKING MAP The parking meters are enforced everyday except Sunday, most till 6:00 PM, some till 9:00 PM and just because there's a meter it doesn't mean that parking is always allowed. Make sure you read the signs and the info on the meter to be sure. The best deal seems to be the lot at Cadillac and Farmer; all day (6 to 6) for $5.00 and $2.50 on weekends, however, with only 240 spaces I imagine it fills up fast. Personal, I like to park at the Cobo roof deck. It
  12. Here are a few pictures of the office and locker rooms of Brennan Pools on Plymouth Rd. in Detroit
  13. Joe Louis Arena was built fast and cheap (57 million) in a successful effort to keep the Red Wings downtown and a failed effort to do the same thing with the Pistons. It was a great place to see a concert in the 80
  14. Thanks. It was taken yesterday around 10:00 AM.
  15. The Talon Center (part of the old Parke/Davis complex). The skyline minus the cement silos. The skyline looks kind of naked without them. It's going to take some getting used to. You can see the Riverwalk under construction in front of the Talon Center.
  16. For some reason the "Bird's Eye View" is unavailable. Perhaps I need to update the software. Does anyone know the url for updates?
  17. I love Google Earth. I'll have to check this out thoroughly to see how it compares. I'd say it's several years earlier than 2005, however. In the overheads I was viewing both Compuware Headquarters and Ford Field are still under construction.
