brett - 2004-09-20 17:55:59 I'll have to check it out. I know Brett is careful and observant and I know ypsidweller knows ypsi's corners like no one else, probably, so that you gentlemen disagree on this crack leaves me floundering for answers.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-20 19:48:22 and as an additional clarification, seeing someone in peninsular park DEALING 'crack' doesn't count.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-20 20:03:30 The park has a sort of dark atmosphere to it but I didn't know THAT was going on there. Lovely. The worst I've seen was just a guy micturating right out in the open, no cares or worries.* * * * * * * * * * * * Brett - 2004-09-20 23:11:23 I was only kidding. Those of us who live up here in the 'student ghettoes' have to spread stories like that in order to maintain our tough 'street-wise' image. Kind of like the people downtown hang up banners to create their "cool" image. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-21 08:54:16 :) Your tough, streetwise image is in no danger, I assure you, Brett (flashes on a basement breakroom in some very dark depths indeed).* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-21 17:10:43 back to the crack in question. I personally think the wall of the remaining ruins (on the south side of the river)probably bears some of the dam's load, so they most likely will leave it intact and fill in around it with gravel and soil. I doubt there's any other option. Now, the reason I bring it up is that this wall does have a crack in it, but as a small tree appears to be growing out of it I don't think we can blame the recent demolition work for it. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-22 08:57:30 hmm....depends on the tree...if it's an elm those babies can sprout up several feet or more in just a month or so (I've got to get down to the dam!)* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-22 13:05:44 sorry to say I've never been good at tree identification, especially from a distance. It's most likely a tree, but also possibly a bush of some sort. I know it's not an animal or mineral; of that much I'm pretty certain. I just walked by the site and, while demolition isn't apparently happening, the boys from K&E Construction ARE working around that specific area this morning. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-22 13:15:26 Hmm. Boy, they're taking a long time to knock a few old buildings down, I must say--this has been grinding on since last spring.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-22 15:49:54 if you look at the other half of the project along railroad street, back near the river sits one of the Homrich vehicles, which probably means that something is still going to be demolished and it was cheaper to leave a vehicle behind than take it away and bring it back for the job. In related news, Homrich should be starting up soon on their plans to demolish the allied paper mill in kalamazoo.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-22 16:56:00 homrich was also the local firm which helped with imploding the Hudson dep't Store building in detroit, as well as a historic poor house in macomb county. To paraphrase an urbex website I saw once, they are indeed "Building a desert- one building at a time"* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2004-09-22 20:02:45 well, looks like nobody's going to respond, and I'm all alone in this thread. Since nobody hears me anyway, I'm going to pass the time by singing to myself. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh, Superman..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..... * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-22 20:12:36 Brett! I'm listening! I'm gonna check out the site this Saturday.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-09-23 13:34:30 Peninsular Dam, a fisherman's paradise.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-09-23 13:40:15 Nice picture...and funny caption. Boy, that water looks yellowish/icky/toxic.* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
