Re: Bob & Tom Show returning to NW Michigan

Let me get this straight.....Bob and Tom without Bob? Never cared for it....forced laughter, sophomoric hijinks. Sounds like a desperation move. The most interesting thing is the "Bar Harbor" reference. About 4 years ago, they had a GREAT food menu. Apparently they sold, and the two times I've stopp...

Re: You Be The judge

So, after he returned to work, he boasted to his friends about how he had killed a deer out on the hunt, but couldn't remember shooting it because he had been so drunk. Yeah, blah blah, hunters are bad, people with guns are bad, blah, blah. Your unspoken message is clear. Millions of responsible, l...

Re: Ordering Online

I concur. That is pretty silly. What if you didn't have a credit card, and only had cash? I would have told clerk: i don't do online and want to pay with cash. Although I agree with your point, and understand the concept of "Legal Tender", I have noted an increasing prevalence of "card only" seller...

There are some facets regarding how he runs his business with which I disagree, and it seems in this particular instance, he was guilty of not doing due diligence. Doing reads for a shady company like that deservedly sullies his credibility, in my eyes. As a friend of and a guy who misses Bruce Wil...

Re: No rain for weeks

But of course climate change is a leftist rumor. There is no argument that the planet is warming. It's done so five times in researchable history, 3 of which eliminated 75% of animal life. (There is an interesting display on this at Kirtland Community College in Gaylord). Man has had a hand in it.....

Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed

I'd love to know why a man previously convicted of assault with intent to murder and previously arrested multiple times for kidnapping was out on the streets as a free man. I unfortunately can't answer your question, but a similar situation occurred with the perpetrator of the recent MSU shooting i...

Re: Last Electronics Store

Well, here goes.....somehow I suspect I will regret this: Bernie and Rose have done this for many years. He continues it not because they need the income but because it mainly gives him something to do, a place to be, and essentially a reason to get up in the morning. He's not terribly well, and man...

Re: Blue Bird WorkersVote to Join Union

Look for higher school taxes in the short term paying for increased bus costs as a result, new and probably better offerings from offshore bus manufacturers, and eventual whining from BlueBird about the inability to compete. More less the pattern of the what happened to the domestic car market. Migh...

Just called Bernie at the Electronic Connection....he said EPCO was owned by a guy named Hollowecki. Bernie had never visited, but said that he recalls it in Allen Park. He mentioned MN Duffy near Cass Tech, Reno Radio on Broadway in Detroit, and Wiedemeiers and Purchase Radio in Ann Arbor. He used ...

Re: Last Electronics Store

I recall a green building, but that is a 50 year old plus recollection and likely faulty.

It was north of where the fire department is, not too awfully south of Southfield.

Re: Last Electronics Store

Anyone remember 'The Electronics Parts Company' (EPCO) in Allen Park on the west side of Roosevelt Road, south of Southfield, well north of Ecorse, along the railroad tracks?

My high school electronics teacher arranged a discount for his students there.

Kind, TCT? That's a false implication, and reeks of trollism.
And you were expecting something else from the party in question? I recommend the ignore function; it works pretty well.
