These mid 1960s Pontiacs were some of the most attractively designed cars ever built. Every curve, every line screams "FAST"! This one even has the original Pontiac Motor Division (PMD) wheels covers on all four tires with the appropriate thin-line whitewalls. I also took several shots of the interior - its in near mint condition.
Faygo Pop, is made in Detroit, Michigan. Faygo Pop started in 1907 by two Russian immigrant bakers and is still be produced and distributed today.
You are a Detroiter if you remember the famous 1970 Faygo Boat Song. www.bing.com/videos/search?q=faygo+soda+song&view=det...
They say Detroit is a wasteland. They say Detroit is decrepit. They say Detroit... is an ugly eyesore. Well, my Detroit is beautiful and anything but a decrepit wasteland. One has to only look beyond the headlines and inherent stigma to see what the city truly has to offer. :)
Just Press "L"

Towne Club first started selling its soda in the mid-1960s in its own retail outlets in Detroit, known as "pop centers". It was an affordable alternative to bigger brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and often sold well in Detroit's poorer neighborhoods. The pop centers offered many different flavors of soda pop than was typically seen in grocery stores and was bought by the case which was wooden and held 24 glass bottles. People would enter the store grab a wooden crate and walk around to the various stacks of "pop" around the warehouse looking store. Customers would also bring back the empty bottles and cases and start all over again.

Thanks to my friend Mike for bringing his AlienBees light and for Tony for helping me fine tune the settings. This is located inside the abandoned Woodward Presbyterian Church, also known as Abysinnia Church or St. Curvys. We've been invited inside by the pastor there to document the changes taking place there while they renovate this historic church.
The history of the Grinnell Brothers Piano Company is very similiar to that of the city it called home for so long. Founded in 1879 by Ira Grinnell in Ann Arbor, the company rapidly expanded and moved into a large storefront in downtown Detroit in 1908. The building was designed by Albert Kahn. Most of the pianos were built at a facility in Holly MI, but still had the Detroit name on it. Their pianos were only available at their Grinnell Stores ( 35 locations ) . In 1955, having made a substantial fortune, the business was sold to a large coporation. WKC Inc. The Grinnells went on to buy other music stores but the company bearing their name would go in a different direction. By the md-60's consumers had started to buy less expensive pianos, and even the new electronic keyboards made overseas were greatly reducing the company's market share. In 1968 the company filed for bankruptcy, an act which would repeat itself several times before the company finally closed it's doors, and it's last location- the Detroit office, in 1981.
This photo has been cropped from the original. In that picture it is the lead car in a parade held on July 01 1953. Held in Stratford Ontario Canada it was a local "Old Boys Reunion" celebration for present and previous citizens. As this Brush car was already over 40 years of age at the time it may well be still out there.
The Brush Motor Car Company was based in Detroit and manufactured cars from 1907-1913. Power was provided by a large single cylinder engine. The chassis and axles were built with oak, hickory or maple. One safety feature was that it cranked counterclockwise to start instead of the usual clockwise to avoid typical injuries sustained if the crank kicked back.
After closing
Had an interesting conversation with a park security officer about all kinds of things.

Eero Saarinen - 1965
Day by day my life gets colder
My eyes close thin, as I get older
Peace in pieces, bloody and bruised
I feel so helpless and confused
Cuz I hear screamin on the left
yellin on the right
I’m sitting in the middle tryin to live my life
Cuz I cant stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can’t walk on water
I can’t save your sons and daughters
I can’t change the world and make things fair
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
The least that I can do is care

In Michigan, Better Made brand snacks are probably taken for granted because they are everywhere. That said, they are awesome. I prefer Sweet BBQ.
Better Made Snack Food Company was founded on August 1st, 1930 by Cross & Peters in Detroit, Michigan. Over the years, the Detroit based chip company has outlasted 22 local competitors. Today, the Motor City might best be known for its own Better Made Snack Foods, which uses locally grown potatoes and trans fat-free cottonseed oil to produce potato chips that have earned a loyal following in Detroit, Michigan & beyond.

I've been chasing this old Chevy truck for a photo for weeks and finally tonight, while on a dog walk, I caught up to it with my camera.
