Eric_c Member Username: Eric_c Post Number: 937 Registered: 11-2003 |
I see remnants of Detroit's transit-oriented urban past. Here is a defunct commercial business, operated out of a converted house, sitting on what was once no doubt, a streetcar line. The paint-over-asbestos-over-wood siding on the house to the right is also interestingly typical. The color choices are, too. | ||

Confirmation that the tradespeople of the time had substance abuse problems, that is some of the most piss-poor bricklaying I've ever seen. We lost Jimaz to the vortex... This is probably old, but the other day I heard those ubiquitous plastic bags that get caught in barbed wire and old shrubbery described as 'Ghetto Kites'. Still brings a grin. The inner-city version of the inspiration for the true hero of American Beauty...watch 'em float and fly! Ah, Heidelberg, time for a spring visit, soon as Mutha Nature gets over her fucking frigid fits. | ||

"....some of the most piss-poor bricklaying I've ever seen." More likely, a bunch of 14 year-olds learning to lay brick. According to my Dad, also a bricklayer, they started 'em young in those days. | ||

Valkyrias, I think you're correct. It does look like a telephone handset. How it landed up there is anyone's guess. I suspect it belongs to that white bunny rabbit behind it. He may have been using it to report the vortex. (Message edited by Jimaz on April 07, 2007) | ||

Urbanize, this one?: http://i148.photobucket.com/al bums/s22/bulletmagnet69/kodakg roup032607369.jpg?t=1175996816 or this one: http://i148.photobucket.com/al bums/s22/bulletmagnet69/kodakg roup032607318.jpg?t=1175995795 Gannon, I have never heard the "ghetto kite" term before, but I live under a rock. My wife just says the tree is going shopping. Bet you don’t know what a "beach whistle" is? I have been checking in on the responses here through out the day, and I have noticed not one of you were critical of the photo, only carious about it. Thanks for the insight friends. | ||

I would have to say the first one. However, it can't be as that appears to be the location on Mt. Elliot. | ||
Jimaz Member Username: Jimaz Post Number: 1851 Registered: 12-2005 |
A "beach whistle" might be a conch shell? It can be used as a trumpet. | ||
