Marker for Captain Daniel Throop in Judd Cemetery

This Independence Day, Some Will Choose To Once Again Remember The Military Service Of Captain Daniel Throop

July 4, 2018
There’s a nondescript cemetery on the northeast corner where Judd Road ends at Saline-Milan Road. It isn’t clear if any particular place has been designated for visitor parking, nor, for that matter, if there’s much demand for one. In all the years that we’ve looked in on it, however, we’ve never found grass or grounds lacking in very attentive care. Quite matter-of-factly, a sign designates it as “Judd Cemetery,” further noting that it was formally ....

It’s worth taking a step back to assess annual Saline mayor’s “Senior Conference” as much more than sum of offerings

June 18, 2019
Unlike other signature Michigan events like the Governor’s Conference on Tourism — perhaps more accurately labeled as a Mayors’ event — the Saline Senior Conference has come about under the aegis of only one mayor. [1,2] This is significant to understanding the role and importance of such an offering to any community in 2019. At heart, it serves as a predictable, accountable touchstone for residents in of this population to “engage directly” with their city officials, ....

Findings from Dodge Brothers Club trip to Detroit this week, connecting with earliest founders-produced car(s): Part I

June 24, 2022
Persuit of historical firsts is frequently fraught with challenges. Challenges inherent in the efforts themselves, as well as challenges to the necessary parameters that invariably must be imposed upon even the most expert of efforts. [1] Case in point: The pilgrimage yesterday to see one of the earliest Dodge Brothers automobiles, currently housed in Detroit. Organized by and on behalf of Dodge Brothers Club members, this was as much if not more so a story about ....

“Christmas with The Chosen” more than just another holiday movie or invitation to renew in-theatre experience; much more.

December 2, 2021
Like icthus images in its opening credits, The Chosen seemed destined to swim against prevailing currents. [1-3] It’s certainly not without precedent to see television series beget theatrical movie releases. And only time will tell if, as “the largest ever crowdfunded entertainment project” it truly portends “groundbreaking implications for content creators, particularly faith-based ones.” [4] As “the first-ever multi-season series about the life of Christ,” it will forever raise the bar on what it means to have ....
