A do-it-yourself raft race combined with inflatables and duck races on the Kalamazoo River to raise money for a local nonprofit.
Ford is giving the public a rare look inside Detroit's iconic train station this weekend.
Was there when I was a small child. It was grand. Can hardly wait for it to be refurbished. Finally someone stepped up. Perhaps we can get trains in there now too. Wouldn't that be nice to get on a train and ride to work with no traffic. Perhaps set up a bus depot there to get on to the many jobs in Detroit. Extend stops to where they used to be. Wow. We didn't know how good we had it. Would rather take a train than have to wait at bus stops and transferring constantly..
The train station years ago was just beautiful inside. We used to take the train to Chicago...
Make sure you have a reservation and get an email confirmation, if not you are turned away.

Emmett St. early Sunday and smashed nearly 20 windows in the building.
Police & Fire: Apartment break-in, windows smashed in vacant school building

Battle Creek police are searching for two men who were found inside an apartment on Glenn Cross Road Saturday night.
Seriously???? Wth is wrong with people?!?!?
Who cares what happens to an empty school building. Demolish them and we would've have this problem. As of now they just sit there and rot and cost the city money to maintain. Waste of resources that building has sat vacant for 2 yrs now. Many others have sat vacant much longer. Get rid of them problem solved....
These empty school buildings should be alarmed so this doesn't happen again
Hope they catch the brats! Destructive monsters! Fremont was a nice building. Now it will look dumpy

Caitlin Henne joins 161 seniors this year from throughout the country being recognized in Washington, D.C. June 24-26.Could the new sound barriers along U.S. 127 actually make the traffic noise worse for nearby residents? Some believe so.
Putnam: More highway noise reflected by sound barriers just their imagination? Maybe not
lansingstatejournal.com
“The way the sound echoes now it sounds like the ambulance is pulling up in your driveway."
How did /does MDOT prioritize that $$$ waste on walls when the roads I drive are riddled w pot holes. Fix the roads. Not more walls. Not more sign replacement replacing posts metal to wood to metal. That’s our taxpayers $ not MDOTs fun money
The answer is in the word 'reflected' - sound tends to bounce off, aka 'reflect', off objects - so yes, chances are good they're hearing it more, rather than less. Why not stick to actually fixing the roads first?
I wish I was entitled enough to move into a place right next to a lot of noise I know exists and then make the entire city pay to fix it for me.
Biggest waste of money ever
I don't give a crap about sound barriers just fix the rest of the roads
I have noticed that 127 seems incredibly loud lately. I live in Trappers Cove so it’s not where they put up the barriers, but I’m just saying 🤷🏼♀️
Be careful what you ask for
Ive wondered this about our wall too.

After 14 years, State Senator Rick Jones is not seeking reelection. He is the most successful lawmaker in Michigan history. Here are the highlights. on.lsj.com/2I9iEzJ
Time for him to go. As stated previously, time for lobbying—rich, white, privileged lobbying. Maybe for the nra? Or for profit schools? Or for profit prisons? It’ll be interesting to see who buys him.
Every bill he introduced was a headline the week before. "Success" must be a synonym for "grandstanding."
A man of honor and high standards who stands strong against the failures of the horrendous liberal ideologies, thank you for your service Senator and God bless you.
I guess LSJ and I have a different idea of what "successful" means.
Don't worry. Rick will get a job with a lobbying firm, likely owned by the DeVosses, and start making the big bucks while screwing the citizenry.
Glad he's retiring, Sick of him and his conservative ways.
He is Term Limited. Rick unfriended me when I disagreed with him. Never very openminded on issues important to me.
One thing I don’t is he always wants to raise speed limits. People drive like they are possessed as it is.
Sure, he rolls out Reefer Madness bills with astonishing regularity. What an incredibly out-of-touch politician.
He is not successful just because he was in the majority and his buddies passed stupid laws with him!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Good
Hehas been spectacular failure

Where do Advisors get dropped off in Tekonsha? I use to get it delivered at my past residence. Now I am closer to Marshall and it got delivered for a week and then no more.
