Here's an old "Little Nemo" comic in which Nemo visits Detroit in a dream:
Little Nemo in Slumberland -- 1911

The author, Winsor McCay, was from Spring Lake, MI.

I am always looking for photos, negatives or slides of the Grand River and Greenfield area (NW Detroit) for a project I have started. Let me know if you have any to donate ok?

I'd like to recreate the period from the 50's, 60's and 70's. If you have photos of the neighbor around there or store fronts in the background of a photo, that's what I'm looking for.

Here is a building at the corner of campus martius. I took it just because someone I know said there is no one downtown and when I went for a walk during my late lunch (around 2-3 p.m.), there were a lot of people everywhere so I snapped a picture here and there. If you zoom in on this one, you can see a lot of nice architectural detail on the building. Also a guy who apparently wants to jail Obama for treason, I just noticed him

Also a picture a while back of the removal of the City Christmas Tree at Campus Matrius

If these come up correctly:
Old Wayne County Building (Vacant). I took this to show my wife what we will buy if she wins the lottery like she is supposed to.

Riverwalk - obviously not current. Riverwalk during warmer months. 3 pictures. This is right near the ren cen. Ren Cen is visible int he corner of the first one. And the merry go round at Riverwalk.

Finally an older picture of the Lutheran youth (wearing orange) when they came to Detroit to do Mission work. They met each day in Hart Plaza then went off to their assignments around the City.

These are just what I happened to have on my phone.

Kept disappearing.

The M-1 is still being tested. The cars come by at random times and I have not had the chance to snap a picture yet. If they do more testing and i see them and my phone is charged and the windows are clean, I will snap one.

Yes... very nice guys. Thanks for the pics! (Keep them coming)!

Let me ask a few questions:

1) Is that "QLine", pic above, the M1 everyone is talking about?
2) Is it replacing the People Mover, or in addition to it?
3) The Old Wayne Country building is vacant - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Bonus Question:
Does Detroit still do the "ethnic" festivals it used to do years ago? It would have, for example, "Polish" festival in the Hartz Plaza on a summer weekend. Does it do that during the summers anymore?
