Livedog2 (what happened to 1?), you did me so much better but i was pressed for time to try to get out of the office before the storms hit. ok, i also LOVE: City chicken (that appears to be something of a Detroit rarity), Sanders cream puff sundaes with butter pecan and Sanders fudge, The Detroit Fire Department and their clowns who I'm still amazed are around, MIGHTY WHITIES (aka White Castles), the trolley that (used?) to run on Washington Blvd., MOTOWN!!! and almost all of its artists, the "bump" on Grand Blvd. that my Dad used to take at a speed to tickle my stomach as a kid, Jayne Field and Lasky, the fact that a skinny little white kid like me was accepted and even welcomed and loved in a very mixed neighborhood growing up (I wanted to be Mary Wilson when I grew up - obviously didnt make it - but Mrs. Booth across the street offered to sew my costumes), Eastern Market, fireworks, memories of Boblo, being lost in the RenCen in the early days, great old buildings that deserve new lives, and, most sincerely, the people on this site.

The crowd at last night's Tigers game. It was electric. This is the first time I have seen a CoPa crowd really into the game. Even more than Opening Day, which is mostly just a big party. The crowd was focused on every pitch. It was a playoff atmosphere. Seeing the crowd back up and stand up for Robertson and Zoooomaya when they got into tough spots was flat out AWESOME! If you haven't been to a game yet you have to go check one out. Oh yeah...and stop by Cheili's new rooftop deck...very cool spot to drink and look at the City. | ||
Cheddar_bob Member Username: Cheddar_bob Post Number: 721 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 68.61.29.180 |
I was on that rooftop deck yesterday before the game. I loved the game. Except for the stupid girl that came and stood behind me on her cell phone. It went something like this.... "Kimmy, where are you at? Section 342? I'm over here standing next to a statue of some guy. He's hitting a ball. William something? Wilmer? Oh, Willie Horton. Hey everybody, I see Kimmy. She's standing up waving, OHMYGAWD! I thought you were going to come hang with us. I'm with John and Karly. Yeah, come down here and we'll hang out and not watch the game because I don't care about baseball and I'm just here because it is the cool thing that all us kids are doing these days." Okay, I paraphrased the last sentence but jesus christ lady, don't you kids text message or something nowadays? Something that is quiet? Rant over, I had to inject something bad into this lovefest. I did love spending my two days off in Detroit and going to Monday's and Tuesday's games. | ||

I was savalging an old metal cabinet, mind you I'm 5'9" 130 lbs. So this cabinet is on a dolley and I'm struggling a little in front of my building. Two complete strangers (two guys who had clearly had a few beers) told me to stop it and they carried the thing into the building. We then ran into my next apartment over neighbor, then he and one of the guys carried it into my apartment and put it where I asked. I love half-drunken white guys who don't believe that chivalry is dead. later - naturalsister | ||

I *loved* my holiday weekend in the W.V., sleeping in the tent in the rain and exploring mile after mile of fabulous twisty mountain roads on a modern literbike! I love that I have discovered, in my short absence, that I have to work harder on loving the D because hey, I'm here now & that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. well thats number 90, only about 200 to go. I suppose maybe 150 if you discount folks talking to themselves... | ||

I love the fact that we're so close to another country and we can zip merrily across the River and be in another country with its own unique culture and personality. (maybe not the most high brow of ways to celebrate July 4th, but it does make one pause and look at the US in a different light) | ||

Went to a friends house for dinner last night, old house in an old section of Dearborn. His neighborhood boasts huge oak trees and to sit under the canopy of oak leaves on a soft warm southeastern Michigan night with your friends is a rare and lovely thing. I love old hardwoods in Michigan. | ||

I, too, live in the old section of Dearborn (the Historic Homes section....not the exact section, but pretty close). Our trees are wonderful and provide plenty of cool breeze....haven't turned my air on yet this summer! I agree, Oldredfordette, it is some kind of wonderful.... | ||

Let's all ride the bus when we go to downtown Detroit instead of clogging up the freeways as possible. This will help out both SMART and DDOT and free up more state and local money to improve mass transit The freeways can then be used for the trucks without widening them more as fewer cars will be on them. This is how other cities improved mass transit because it works. Go to Boston or Toronto for example and see the nice trains. The answer to improve mass transit is for all of us to work together for the benefit of everyone. http://savethefueltax.tripod.c om/theplan.html | ||

Detroitteacher, I LOVE signing loudly with GOOD music like Aretha and blasting out the current nasty, so-called, music. (I keep the windows open when I smoke so they get a lot of volume!)

I love Motown, The MC5, The Stooges, Alice Cooper, Parliament/Funkadellic, The Suicide Machines, Eminem, Tiles, and Grand Funk Railroad. I love the old novelty trolly (now gone), and old pictures of the trolly and public railway systems. I love the old General Motors building on Grand Boulevard (now Cadillac Square), even if GM did dismantle our public transportation. I love the old Hudson's Building, and the Campus Martius venue. I love the Soldiers and Sailors monument, and the David Whitney houses. I love the Yamazaki buildings on Wayne State, and the old Detroit high schools from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I love the Horseshoe Club, and hearing stories about how everyone from John Lee Hooker to Howlin' Wolf played there. I love the Lindel A.C., and how you could sometimes catch ancient hockey players there. You'd ask them about the Olympia, and they'd get misty eyed. Above all else, I love The Guardian Building. It's the most enduring symbol of hope, that there just might be a way to rebuild this city. It cannot (and should not) be what it was, but there has to be something better. | ||

One Aretha that you can't really belt out but I LOVE is "Do Right". "Take me to heart and I'll always love you and nobody can make me do wrong. Take me for granted, leaving love unshown, makes willpower weak and temptation strong..." Also, though he's not quite Detroit, I love Bob Seger and he KEEPS it local. Hey!

Looks like it's up to the non-posting-lurker community to keep the love thread going. :D (there are hundreds upon hundreds of us after-all) I've been reading this forum for about two and a half years and I LOVE the sense of optimism and hope from everyone here (once you peel back a few layers of sarcasm). I loved Audible_nectar's thread about the free Kayne West tickets at Pepsi Smash during Super Bowl week (lots of free tickets for myself and friends). I loved Fishtoes2000's thread about Bicycling Magazine's BikeTown Detroit 2006. Even though I heard about it elsewhere as well, the DYes thread was the first time I saw it mentioned. So I decided to enter the contest and I was one of the 50 Metro Detroit winners of a new bicycle. I love reading the threads from all you local bar-flys (you know who you are). Almost completely thanks to that I've gone from being "clueless" about downtown a few years ago to becoming a human "mapquest" when it comes to downtown bars/restaurants, and the unchallenged authority in that area with my still downtown-clueless circle of friends. ;D I love the fact that, as a lifelong northwest-sider just south of 8-mile, I finally achieved the dream of moving to the midtown/downtown area when I started graduate school at Wayne State last August. I love that the moment I started grad. school was the moment the new graduate dorms opened (where I currently live, at least for the next few weeks until I move into a midtown house in August). The moment I started grad. school was also the start of my graduate program, Alternative Energy Technology, as an academic degree at WSU (and I really really love my academic program). Well, that's a lot of love from me. Keep it up, I'm sure the folks in the "Daily Hate" thread will get bored at some point and we can catch up. | ||

I love the new Metro Airport and how Wayne County pulled off something truly impressive that makes a great impression on millions of people who pass through there on connecting flights. I love standing on the train platform inside Metro, packed with people from all over the world and imagining that one day platforms like this will be all over Metro Detroit.

I have friends from Paris visiting me here this week, a couple and their 9-year-old son. I know the father from work we've done together, and he decided to bring his wife and kid here for part of a six week North American vacation. They love it here! In the week they've been here, they have been to Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum, the Science Center (even though half the robots were broken), Belle Isle, Mexicantown and Corktown, Proud Lake for a picnic, while I write they are sailing on the Detroit River, and my young friend's very favorite, Corporate Amerika Park to see the Tigers kick Cleveland butt. He wears his rally hat full time now, and will recieve as a surprise his own Tiger hat and a mitt when they leave tomorrow. We have eaten all over Detroit and Royal Oak and they loved every bite. Holiday Market got high marks. Their favorite was the Majestic Cafe, where the people were as kind as the food was good. My city looked great and everyone was nice as could be. Thank you Detroit! We might see a wave of friendly Frenchmen as a result of this week. | ||

OK, here's one story I love (just happened today). Picture this...my first trip to IKEA (don't bother, it's horribly crowded). In the parking lot was this guy who was shouting very loudly and very angrily. He kept yelling at some woman with kids saying "I don't sleep with this tramp" (pointing at the OTHER woman standing there). He kep yelling this over and over and was getting very worked up. The woman with kids was chasing the woman this guy was with (it was funny). The other woman was trying to get to her car. (The woman with the kids was considerably larger than the other woman). The other woman then ran back into IKEA. She was making a report with the door guy. Turns out that the shouting guy was her boyfriend. The woman with the kids was HIS wife. They both showed up at IKEA at the same time. The guy wasn't there with his wife. She caught him in the act. Lesson to be learned...always know where your wife and mistress are in case they may run into each other while you are out with the other. I LOVE that the guy got caught. | ||
