Saline Pre-Prix 1986 facing east-southeast along Michigan Avenue downtown

Exactly Thirty Years Ago, Saline Hosted Its First “Pre-Prix” Race

June 4, 2016
Anyone who was around and aware during that summer of 1986 remembers it. They’re likely to have a story to tell as well. In fact, quite likely many, expansive stories. This was the first of two “Pre-Prix” races run through Saline downtown. The photograph above faces southeast across Michigan Avenue, just past Manufacturer’s Bank (now Comerica), where a large platform had been erected for the grand marshall and VIP viewing. [1,2] Spearheaded by Donald Shelton, ....

As a long-time talk radio listener, I strongly disagree with any claim that Rush Limbaugh transformed the format

From the Editor— I grew up on talk radio. “For those of you in Rio Linda” (to borrow a phrase), let’s start that clock ticking with start in the public school system, late 1960s.

A Brief Look Back On The Meredith Bixby Marionette Story, Part I: History Can’t Be Packed Away In A Single Box

September 20, 2018
Last week, Saline Journal provided an expanded overview of marionette history and detailed its ongoing relevance to modern day entertainment in the United States. [1] That article merely touched on the fantastic role once held by the City of Saline within it. To say that Meredith Bixby played a key role does little more than start the discussion. To think that having seen examples of his craft displayed at City Hall or showcased in the ....
