"#Detroit #Michigan mayor #ColemanYoung was many things to many people. To Georgia congressman John S. Woods he was a communist sympathizer. To white politicians such as L. Brooks Patterson he was a race baiter and black militant who ran the city into the ground. To Black people, Young was a champion who stared down white bigots such as Dearborn white supremacist mayor Orville Hubbard."

On May 15, 2023, around 10:30 PM, an unusual sighting occurred in the skies of #Lawton, #Michigan. According to a testimony posted on the National UFO Reporting Center's (NUFORC) website, an unidentified flying object in the shape of a triangle, with three bright lights at each corner, was observed moving slowly before disappearing above the witnesses ... #ufo #ovni https://wakonda666.blogspot.com/2023/06/unidentified-flying-object-spotted-in.html
“At 3 p.m. Tuesday, the bells at Mariners’ Church rang out again — now chiming 30 times to honor those perished sailors along with the artist who famously memorialized them in song. Lightfoot made the Detroit church bells famous in ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.’ Today they chimed an additional time to mark his death.” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIq1ELxH2do
“Tuesday’s bell ceremony was arranged quickly, and a handful of Lightfoot fans gathered outside the church on a gray, drizzly afternoon for the 3 p.m. moment. Among them was a bagpiper who was invited inside, where he performed a galvanizing ‘Amazing Grace.’” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-mariners-church-detroit-bells/70175392007/
“Lightfoot, who sailed in the Mackinac Yacht Races, reportedly read about the Nov. 10, 1975 sinking in a Newsweek magazine article, ‘The Cruelest Month.’ The article’s title was an allusion to T.S. Eliot’s poem ‘The Waste Land,’ and Lightfoot turned the first few lines into a song.” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-edmund-fitzgerald-song-michigan/70173839007/
#Stonehenge-Like #Structure Found Under #Lake #Michigan
Archaeologists found something much more fascinating than they got credit for when searching under the waters of Lake Michigan for shipwrecks: they uncovered a rock with a #prehistoric #carving of a #mastodon, as well as a collection of stones arranged in a Stonehenge-like manner.
Gazing into the water
In modern #archaeology, the use of remote sensing techniques is common: scientists regularly survey lakes and soil for hidden objects.
Archaeologists uncovered sunken boats and cars and even a Civil War-era pier at a depth of around 40 feet into Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, using sonar techniques to search for shipwrecks, but among all these, they found this prehistoric surprise
I remember Wazoo Records, probably 25% of my record collection came from there.

Genevieve and Guy Vang spent almost 20 years navigating the US immigration bureaucracy with their asylum claim and were nearly deported several times. They're now cooking free meals for people without power. Immigrants make America great. #Dearborn #Michigan #Immigration https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/2023/02/24/bangkok-96-dearborn-free-meals-thai-power-outage/69940412007/
Highly recommend "Cooked: Survival by Zip Code", an excellent documentary about the 1995 #Chicago heatwave that killed 739 residents over the course of a single week. We're already seeing history repeat, more often, in cities near us. #ClimateJustice #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Detroit #Michigan https://www.bridgedetroit.com/detroit-extreme-heat-flooding-climate-change/
