Tri-Cities Photo of the Day

[wolverine]

Wolverine, i saw this picture in your Flickr, and thought it was cool, so i hope you dont mind that im going to post it

it is some warehouses in Saginaw

and Wolverine, do you frequent the Flint area?, you look VERY familiar

I don't mind you posting it. In fact, if anyone sees photos in my flickr account that pertain to any section here, feel free to go ahead and post them.

Those warehouses are located between Niagara and Hamilton, right by the river. Both are occupied. The one is a storage facility and animal shelter. The 303 Adams is a tile company.

LOL, and no I don't frequent the Flint area too much. I stop through maybe 5 to 6 times a year to take photos, but that's about it.

[dtown]

does the tile company still make tile?

and the reason i thought you might frequent Flint was beacause, every week i go bowling at the bowling alley in Grand Blanc, and i see a guy who looks just like this pic

he even wears a hat like that, lol

[wolverine]

heh, yeah I'm way to serious in that pic. Usually I tend to look a lot more like this:

[dtown]

haha, nice Fro...lol, and i just realized, ive got that same flag that you do hangin in my room

[Ka3kab]

Way too serious wolverine. BTW, love The Roots, used to have all of their cd's until they were stolen from my car, in Livingston County of all places, now I just have a couple dozen songs on the ipod, but hey, I won't leave that in my car.

OKAY gave me permission to store them on my server space for public listening. All I have to do is modify the settings to make them available for download. I can give you all their music if you'd like. It's quite obvious I'm a Roots fan, I even have two copies of the Tipping Point poster the record companies gave to the music stores promoting its release.

Center and Washington Ave in downtown Bay City

[dtown]

thats great, i love the fire escape

[wolverine]

I love this image. And what's best about it is the font is actually called "Saginaw" as well. It came pre-installed on my computer, but I believe there is a ton of website offering the font. I wish I could make this my signature.

[dtown]

thtas awesome, maybe you could shrink that pic for a signature?

[dtown]

alright, i found this pic on the internet and thought it was kinda cool

its a freighter passing under the Zilwaukee Bridge, nothing special, but i wanted this thread to pick up a little

That is cool. Nice find!

[GR8scott]

alright, i found this pic on the internet and thought it was kinda cool

Thats cool, I always wondered what kind of boats pass through there, are there any really long or tall ones and how often do they come down to saginaw and what for?

I've only been over the bridge once and was surprised at how big it was.

[wolverine]

Not many large boats pass beneath the bridge anymore. From time to time there is a few.

Due to structural complications, I question how much longer it will be around.

[dtown]

according to this website ,quite a few freighters unload at that place with all the mounds of stone by the bridge, and other places, many in Bay City though. But, im sure its not what it was in its heydey.

did you hear about how their going to dredge the turning basin because its almost too shalow for ships to use?

and scott, according to that website, a freighter called the Wilfred Sykes frequents the Saginaw river, and its 671 feet long, so i would guess that many of the ships are around that size.

Entrance to the Masonic Temple Annex in Bay City

[dnast]

Wow! That puts the Flint Masonic Temple to shame.

[wolverine]

Businesses on Washington Ave. I'm fairly positive the bluish building is up for renovation. I'm giong to try and find out more info.

[RustTown]

What a strangely styled building.

[bobjgumby]

What a strangely styled building.

It is rather odd looking.

[dtown]

i hope they take that billboard down

[wolverine]

Yeah, not quite sure what the mural is supposed to specifically relate to. Actually, on the other wall there is another mural. When I was living in NYC, I remember the concept of having eating areas in alleys was very prevalent. It's an easy way of having outdoor seating when sidewalk area is too small.

I know that is what they hope to do in the one in Flint.

I would rather see a building thre myself.

[dtown]

didnt there used to be a messed up little fake building there?

[wolverine]

Saginaw County Courthouse

The original building was amazing
