Metro Detroit public transit has been funded through a millage since 1995. However, township sized cities (up to 36 sqmi) were allowed to opt out. 10 years after the four county regional transit millage failed by 1% in 2016, Oakland Co went all in (2022) & now Wayne Co is all in.

1999 Ford 021C, the car Ford should build as an EV for the masses. Give it a station wagon option too.

Hey, @detroithistorical.bsky.social, do you have one of these at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum? Found on FB Marketplace: Handmade Ste. Claire Boblo boat. Made from wood. Comes with case. $400. www.facebook.com/share/1Bf6o4...

Feel the need to remind myself that I don’t need to do all the laundry tonight, after getting a new washing machine after being without for a week.

.@detroithistorical.bsky.social what can you tell me about the carriage house that's part of the museum? It isn't shown on this 1889 map or 1910 map.

Eastpointe bravely says “screw it. We don’t need a Main Street.” Apparently it would be horrible to turn into another Ferndale, with their walkability, independent businesses & highly sought after real estate. “We prefer to be a pass through, strip mall of a city.” www.wxyz.com/news/eastpoi...

Happy to see that this route would run all the way downtown. Depending on the frequency & schedule it might be faster for me than taking 9 to Woodward to downtown.

From west riverfront rail yard to Ralph Wilson Park, it’s been quite a glow up.

Concept vs. Reality ✅ The Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park opens this weekend with a Harvest Fest Celebration (10/25-26). Where to park? There's on street parking along Jefferson & Fort, the former Joe Louis Garage or take DDOT#19, MoGo or People Mover! detroitriverfront.org/plan-your-vi...

Speaking of restaurants on Woodward, I wonder what's happening with the old Pasquale's site on Woodward? Its been 1.5 years since they announce a Big Boy on the site. @melodymalosh.bsky.social freep.com/story/entert...

I appreciate the symbolism of the GM sign in Detroit but moving from the entire RenCen to the top few floors of the new Hudson Building isn't the power move they think it is. Besides, everyone knows that GM is really headquartered in Warren.

Despite being gone for decades, you can still see some remnants of the old round house in Milwaukee Junction, Detroit.

Cap project over I-75 could reconnect key parts of downtown: One parking lot district to another... Seriously though, outside of a game or concert, #DistrictDetroit is a dead zone. Empty parking lots, a few bars & no outward facing businesses. 💀🏟️🅿️💀 @axios.com axios.com/local/detroi... #axiosdetroit

Last night a new concept for Belle Isle was revealed. The idea is to turn the area around the Aquarium & Conservatory into a commons where people are encouraged to stay & explore more of the area. You can learn more & take a survey on their website. belleisleconservancy.org

Today, Ford will announce their "Model T moment." Curious which part they will emphasize? 1. All factory workers will go back to $5 a day. 2. Their new EV will cost 1/2 of their current EVs. 3. They plan to produce them in Highland Park, MI. 4. None of the above.

We love our surface parking > historic places in Detroit.

Not cool SMART. 9 Mile bus turned south at Woodward and ditched us to avoid the train by Hilton. Walking to Warren.

Our senior chihuahua has been officially diagnosed as an old lady, complete with arthritis.

Something Hot! Opening reception Friday May 23 at the Detroit Scarab Club behind the DIA. This exhibition is a celebration of artists that are shaping the now & next of Detroit’s art scene. Sounds like a party! @metrotimes.com www.eventbrite.com/e/something-...

Once a smoke belching, industrial shoreline, today the skies of Detroit are clearer & its use more recreational.

Historians will scold us for having let Fort Wayne rot for decades. So much history in our backyard gone to seed. If this was in any other state, it would be a national park, meticulously restored & staffed with reenactors. Speaking of my dream retirement job, I’d live onsite & restore buildings.

Maybe, just maybe, the answer isn't more lanes. But maybe that's a lesson for a different generation.
