Hi Kaye,

What about Sonny Elliot, Cobo Hall, Tiger Stadium, below ground level

expressways, signs that tallied car plant production quantities by the

minute, Hamtramck, Polish street signs, the Rouge plant, Greenfield village,

Telegraph Ave. on Friday night, the money museum at the National Bank of

Detroit, Hell Night . .

Many many years ago I lived there for a little while.

The toys in the tea box were ceramic figures of endangered animals over a

hundred different ones I think. I'm not a collector but I should have been,

I'll bet a full collection will be worth a few bucks in a few years.

Have a great Sunday, best wishes, Poncho - GA

Kaye and Poncho,

I am from Detroit, I remember all of those things, you sure made me

relive some good times just thinking about them. By the way, Jerry

Hodak is still with WXYZ, or I should say back with WXYZ, and is

still cute, has hardly changed a bit. Sonny Elliot still does the

weather, only on the radio now, just listened to him yesterday. My

mother grew up in Hamtramck. As you can see, I do know about all

these things

The River Rouge Plant that belonged to Ford, part of it still does I think.

It was a big smokestack plant that incorporated an on site steel mill and at

least two production lines, one for cars and one for trucks. At it's peak I

think about 30,000 workers went through the gate daily and sometimes it ran

24/7. I think Ford has spun off a company called Rouge Steel that rolls sheet

steel for the auto industry and that company now runs part of the Rouge

complex. The site was named after the Rouge River which runs along the site

and then into the Detroit River that connects Lake Huron, Lake St. ,

and then into Lake Erie. The " Rouge " plant was something to see for its

massive size, it's billowing smoke stacks, it's endless employee parking

lots, and the parking lots for the finished products. The plant was a Ford

icon for years and a monument to the heyday of large automative plants in

this country. I have a cousins husband that painted truck fenders there for

thirty years. He began holding a spray gun connected to a can of paint and

ended as a mechanic that set up and serviced the robots that now do the

electrostatic spray painting. Thirty years on truck fenders YIKES!!!

It's hard to find anyone in Detroit that doesn't know someone who works at

the " Rouge "
