Welcome to the Pre-Launch of Saline Journal Online Metro Magazine

March 5, 2018

From the Editor— Although I’ve been providing local news content through a variety of outlets since 1984, my work here with Saline Journal is new, and “officially” launches on Monday April 2, 2018. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Saline Journal fills what we believe is a void in coverage of the businesses and attractions where Saline Michigan is positioned at center.

October 24, 2017

When the property at 232 Monroe Street came up on the Saline City Council meeting agenda last night, we couldn’t help but feel that the presentation of historical photographs could have started with images captured some years earlier. D² Enterprises (now d2 Saline) became a new local business on August 12, 1983, and the Saline Die Casting Division of Hoover Universal was one of our earliest corporate clients. We shot the aerial photograph above in ....

This June, Get as Close to “Mystery Science Theater 3000” on the Big Screen as 2018 Will Allow

Imagine you were in high school, or perhaps college in the 1990s. You and your regular group of friends end up at one of the parents’ houses after a late evening out, turn on the TV to, what? likely one of the UHF stations out of Detroit. The only available programming consists of low-budget, truly awful, never-should-have-been-made movies produced decades earlier.
