Re: Passenger trains from Ann Arbor to Traverse City?

Curious, will they allow dogs on the trains? Not just service dogs but also the ones that walk up behind your wife and
stick their nose up her a55.

SRI/1225

I have not been around for ten years. I sold out after assisting the "Club" (they hated that) with their
current location.
The sentiment on here seems to be that they self destructed. Are they having trouble?

Have not been fishing lately. A tornado messed up my property a bit.
My neighbors on both sides were hit much worse. Clean living pays.

Re: Desposition of State-Owned rail lines

Can't count in the originial pretext of why the State bought all of that track in '76 the Amtrak/MDOT owned Michigan Line as that was bought to have exclusive rights to maintain and build an 110mph higher-speed mainline for Amtrak,rather than saving branch lines for a few customers. My remembrance ...

Had to go to Alpharetta GA on Tuesday and back Wednesday. After driving 350 miles to exit Florida, it was another 270 in Georgia. It was those 270 Georgia miles that were the problem. A burning question was ever present every mile. The return trip was worse. The constantly daunting question hammere...

Re: The Slow Death of Kmart Continues

Sorry about your wife and family SousaKerry but I doubt the beancounters had a hand in it. From the rest of your post, I would guess (educated) that the selection process was determined by the lawyers. I haven't spent much time in Kmart since my high school friend, Joe Antonini (sp) the then CEO of ...

The story is that originally the town was called Perrin"g"ton with the "g" but the railroad misspelled it without the "g" and the town changed along with the railroads mistake. At least that's the story...I can't confirm.
In keeping with Rule G.

Re: Grand Rapids, the progressive Michigan city

Normally, I pass-by stories whose headlines include the word "progressive." Progressive is a code word that normally means over-taxed and over-regulated. In this case the city extends the concept to include over-interfere with the local traffic modes. Legislative bodies, including those at the local...

Re: R.I.P. Joan Rivers (81)

I was reading my hometown paper (Morgantown's Dominion Post) on the internet Wednesday and caught
the name of one of my highschool girlfriends in the obits.

Classmates was one thing but now girlfriends?

I better start taking better care of myself. 73 isn't too young for that is it?
