YouTube Friday: The Archbishop of Canterbury on the Royal Wedding

In commemoration of the Royal Wedding that took place earlier today, here is a video of the Archbishop of Canterbury (via lambethpress' YouTube Channel) sharing his thoughts on the Royal Wedding. Did any of you watch the Royal Wedding today? I watched bits and pieces of it on TV as I got ready to start my day. I liked the bride's dress, with the lace sleeves and full skirt, and the veil complemented the dress nicely.

State Capitol

Here's a picture I took a couple of weekends ago on a photo walk. It's a small-scale model of the old Michigan Capitol (Detroit was Michigan's capitol before moving west to Lansing). Capitol Park is located on the site of the old Capitol building, and as I mentioned in an earlier post, the Detroit city buses used to stop here before moving to the Rosa Parks Transit Center on Michigan Avenue and Cass in 2009.

YouTube Friday: Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? - Good Friday -

For Good Friday, I decided to spotlight a religious themed video for YouTube Friday. This video is from TigersLily1103's YouTube page. This is the hymn "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?". It's sung in many churches during Good Friday services. If you are a Christian and are celebrating this holy day, I wish you a prayerful and reflective day.

Red Wing Post

Just a quick post in support of my favorite Hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings. This was on top of the Renaissance Center in Downtown Detroit this past weekend. The RenCen had an Olde English D for the Tigers on their home opener. Here's to you, Red Wings! Let's sweep out west!

Gov. Mason

Here's a picture taken last weekend of Governor Stevens Mason's relocated gravesite in Capitol Park. When Capitol Park was being remodeled, the original grave was dug up, and his remains taken to a local funeral home until the park was finished. It was relocated to this spot, where a commital service with military honors was held. Gov. Mason was in his early 20s when he became governor.

YouTube Friday: B J Thomas Don't Worry Baby

For YouTube Friday, I decided to post this video, via fujen15's YouTube Channel. This is my favorite version of the Beach Boys classic song, "Don't Worry Baby" I heard this song on Streaming radio. You might know of BJ Thomas' songs "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" and "I Just Can't Help Believing" . I hope you all like this song as much as I do.

YouTube Friday: Rays Slugger Ramirez Tells MLB He's Retiring

Today's YouTube Friday video is from the Associated Press' YouTube Channel. I heard this story when I got back home from being out and about for the Tigers' Home Opener. While watching ESPN, they said that this all stemmed from a test that occured during Spring Training, which just concluded. What do you all think of this? I remember seeing Manny Ramirez last year when he was with the White Sox, and they were here in Detroit for Labor Day.

"D" Shop for Tiger Fans

A new shop has arrived at Comerica Park for the season: The "D" Shop. This used to be the "Tiger Town" Gift Shop on Montcalm and Witherell. The "D" Shop is one of many gift shops at Comerica Park, and one of two facing Woodward Avenue. This area was used at TigerFest for an autograph area. I think that this gift shop will see a lot of fans this season when the Tigers are in town.

YouTube Friday: Born To Be Wild-Dennis Rodman Mix

The Detroit Pistons are honoring Dennis Rodman tonight by retiring his jersey, so I decided to put up this video (courtesy of antzheng's YouTube Channel. Dennis Rodman has won many NBA Titles with both the Pistons and the Bulls. He was a spectacular player back in the day, and from what I saw on the Pistons game this evening, he'll be heading to the Hall of Fame.
