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 ....

The word would have been held in the air for a bit as he looked reassuringly into some pleasantly imagined distance before intoning further. [2] “It’s word that ....

If You Want To Understand The 1870 Saline Railroad Depot Operation, You Need To Understand Its Timekeepers

August 21, 2018
The railroad industry in the United States pre-dates the opening of our own Depot by some four decades. [1,2] One history describes the advent of “dozens of local railroad networks” — each covering no more than a few miles — having been put in place by 1835.
