During this time of quarantine brought on by the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic, I am comforted at times by scanning and looking through some old pictures from past travels and experiences, both here in Detroit and out of town trips to various destinations. Here are a few that I have found that have brought back memories
This picture was from my trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland last summer. I couldn't go until the end of July due to work obligations and the need to help my father out. This was part of an exhibit about music on Television. American Bandstand was one of those shows that really showcased multiple styles of music during its run on TV.
I went through an old photo album from February/March/April 2006, and ran across this picture of the late Coleman Young, who was mayor of Detroit from 1973-1993. He was Detroit's first black mayor, elected the same day as Maynard Jackson in Atlanta. He passed in November 1997, and is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit.
From January 2007, this was located in the Grand Circus Park People Mover station, on the doors of the now refurbished David Broderick Tower, which is the site of a Marriott Aloft hotel. The Tigers had just made a remarkable run to the World Series in 2006, and excitement was high for anything to do with the team. This was the start of a run of decent success for the team, which stretched from 2006-2014.
From my trip to Chicago in September 2018 to see my favorite baseball team, the Detroit Tigers on the road for what was my tradition of seeing the Tigers on Labor Day during even-numbered years from 2010-2018 (Detroit in 2010 and 2012, Cleveland in 2014, Chicago in 2016 and 2018) This is the iconic Chicago Theatre on State Street between Lake and Randolph. Seen while doing some evening sightseeing.
A Thanksgiving fun picture, from 2019! This is Paws, the Detroit Tigers mascot, and Roary, the Detroit Lions mascot, feeling rebellious and hitching a ride to their float to ride in the parade. After the Parade, Roary headed to the Den at Ford Field for the Lions' annual Thanksgiving Day game.
