Yes, Virginia: There Really Is A Company-Owned General Motors Car Museum, But It’s Only Open To A Select Few

August 24, 2018
First things first: There really is a museum of the first, best examples of what General Motors calls its most important vehicles produced since inception of the company. Saline Journal can confirm that. We were there earlier today — inside, shooting photographs for more than two hours.

And it needed to dwell in Mill Pond, surfacing from parts unknown for this ....

September 5, 2018
Elsewhere in the news, seemingly too far away to touch anything in Saline in anyway — the largest museum in Latin America was completely gutted by fire this past Sunday. By almost every conceivable metric, the magnitude of loss was catostrophic. [1] Two months ago, the Bob-Lo Island amusement park steamer Ste Claire was engulfed by flames in Detroit. Much, much closer to home. Also of a much, much different historical significance. [2,3] It wouldn’t ....
