“Hurry! Hurry!” “Ending Soon!” “Won’t Last Much Longer!” Make Time To Revisit History Before It’s Gone Forever

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 ....

Ready or Not, Autonomous Vehicles Rolled Further Ahead This Week Toward Inevitability with Mobility for All

May 31, 2018
Less than a year ago, discussion of autonomous vehicle manufacture here in Saline seemed to be valued with little more than interest than dutiful re-posting of press release copy. A little further out and a month later, there was more talk, of a self-driving vehicle being tested for pizza delivery in Ann Arbor. But then we got clarification that it was never actually used in self-driving mode. [1,2,3,4] Fast-foward to this past January, and Saline ....

It’s Important to Understand What Being a “Smart City” Means to Saline, Part 3

April 20, 2018
Becoming a smart city will require more than adjusting attitudes to accept sharing roads with electric cars. More than having stations to charge them. More than the next major leap of moving to a lifestyle where vehicles have no drivers at all. More than motivation and connection. [1,2,3] It will take all of the above — plus infrastructure. Amazingly, initiatives here are being led by two names that have been familiar for decades. One is DTE ....

Did You Happen To Notice A Car Show Within The Car Show Last Saturday While You Were Getting A Haircut Downtown?

August 16, 2018
Last May, international car appraiser Chuck Patton advised Saline Journal readers not to “get emotionally involved” with their vehicles. Any vehicles. Enjoy the hobby, yes. But enjoy it for the people with whom you share this common interest, if not passion. [1] Bill Stolberg seems almost completely to parallel that philosophy. Almost. Everyone in town knows Mr Stolberg, of course; he’s proprietor of Bill’s Barber Shop on North Ann Arbor Street, downtown next to KeyBank. ....
