  • Friday article: Youth Bike Summit! (1/13/12)

    Today, I’m not going to give you an opinion.  I’m changing it up some.  Spouting my mouth off gets old after a while.  However, I’m still dedicated to updating this website every Friday.  If these past few months have taught me anything, it is that the momentum doesn’t stop at the Hub and people are Read more

  • Friday Opinion: Empowerment (12/30/11)

    I gotta get a little personal for a minute.  I’ve had a rough year.  I don’t think I’m the only one.  For many people who never had an economic future, 2011 didn’t change that.  For others in the middle class, the light got dimmer as the situation in Michigan and our country didn’t improve.  For Read more

  • Year in Review 2011

    Hello everyone, I don’t think I can review everything we’ve done in 2011 because that is more than will keep your attention.  However, I’ve been tracking some programming data from the past year that I would love to share with folks.  This year we’ve gotten geeky over graphs and I know there are those of Read more

  • Comments on the Absence of SMART Omnibus Service from Woodward Avenue (12/29/11)

    In the weeks since the route cutbacks at the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation, I have had the opportunity to continue using Woodward for some of my weekly errands around decidedly less bus traffic.

  • Friday Opinion: Texting Ban (12/15/12)

    Today, maybe I don’t have an opinion as much as a viewpoint. I’ve been hearing about a federal text messaging ban while driving. Michigan already has a law that makes it a secondary offense. A secondary offense is something a police officer can cite you for after pulling you over for another offense known as Read more
