YouTube Friday-The Guess Who - Dancin' Fool

Here is a video of a song I like from The Guess Who. I saw this video on cooldudebailey's YouTube Channel after hearing this song on Canadian Radio. This is one of the Guess Who's many hits. I especially like the cover of the album that's pictured here.

iPad Ads are everywhere

I've seen these iPad 2 ads around town recently, the first time a few months ago. This isn't the first time an ad has been placed here. There have been ads for mostly TV shows here in the past. The other ad for the iPad 2 was on 1001 Woodward in downtown Detroit. I've seen one of these iPads in the store, and I can see using it for educational or business purposes. If you have an iPad, what do you use it for (business, personal,etc)?

YouTube Friday: YOU BELONG TO THE CITY

This week's YouTube Friday is of a song I really enjoy. It's from QBAN2010's YouTube Channel. The song is from the old Miami Vice TV show, called "You Belong to the City". I know it screams "Oldies", but I can imagine walking along the street in the '80s while listening to this song and enjoying '80s nightlife and the city scenes.

RIP Jim Northrup (1939-2011)

I heard during last night's Tiger game that former Tigers outfielder Jim Northrup had passed. He's known for hitting multiple Grand Slams, including a few during the 1968 World Series. He was also a broadcaster on the old Pass Sports network. The picture I'm using here is of Jim Northrup's exhibit at Comerica Park in the "Walk of Fame" exhibit from the '60s.

Come To Me - France Joli (1979)

Today's YouTube Friday entry is a video from the channel of djbuddyloveoldschool's YouTube Channel. It's of the singer France Joli's song "Come to Me" from 1979. I heard this song on the radio the other day, and it's a danceable song. It still sounds great after 32 years.

Special YouTube Monday: America The Beautiful

In honor of Memorial Day, I decided to post my YouTube Friday post on Monday. This video is of Ray Charles' version of "America the Beautiful"( via freeyourmind775's YouTube Channel) I'm praying for all the veterans, past, present and future.

Sanders and Yellow Pages, almost 1 year later

Almost a year to the day, I stopped by the former Sanders Bakery/headquarters and the old Yellow Pages building on the Detroit-Highland Park border to see if anything has changed or remained the same. As I walked down Oakman, I first came upon the old Sanders headquarters. I saw the first few windows removed, and wondered if they may be remodeling or demolishing the building. The Sanders Country Home bakery was once here. The Bell Telephone building is preparing to undergo renovations for housing. This was once the home of the Yellow Pages, and Western Electric in an earlier day. I have family who used to work here way back when, and said that it was a nice place to work at. This building reminds me of the former Hudsons department store in Downtown Detroit which was demolished over 10 years ago in 1998.
