Bill Crispin Chevrolet donation drive for The Bottomless Toy Chest

Update To Santa’s “List” Located In Saline (None Naughty, All Nice), Although “Sleigh” Appears To Be A Silverado

November 22, 2018

The spirit of Christmas giving was clearly not about to wait for Thanksgiving to pass this year. Example for today: The Bottomless Toy Chest donation drive. Pun intended. [1,2] Spearheaded by Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers, its aim is to expand the ‘Tons of Toys’ Holiday Event” for this 501(c)(3) not-for-profit by encouraging communities to literally fill pickup truck beds in local showrooms with gifts for children with extreme medical challenges. In Saline, that means Bill ....

Michigan Governor Took Center Stage in Detroit This Month To Detail Mobility Partnerships Already In Motion

June 21, 2018

For anyone who attended The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS) conference and exposition at Cobo Center this month, recent coverage of Ford Motor Company plans to transform Michigan Central Station into a mobility development hub must have seemed ironic. [1,2,3] The train has already left the station. [4] That’s not to say that Ford isn’t on board; indeed, it very much is. But resist the temptation to ask where it places against like kind ....

Pittsfield Township “Shop with a Hero” event proved perfectly named for what it gave to those that it was designed to serve

December 6, 2019

How do you ask first responders to give anything more — especially during this time of year? [1-6] What’s the justification for labeling an event served by “heroes”? Tall order, indeed, that word is. A “mythological or legendary figure often of devine descent endowed with great strength or ability,” reads one definition on Merriam-Webster. An “illustrious warror, a person admired for achievements and noble qualities, one who shows great courage.” [7] “Shop with a Cop” ....
