Author Topic: Who here is in Michigan? Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-19-2005 04:51 AM                     You guessed it, I will be in Michigan over the weekend of May 6-8th. If there is anyone who would like to show off their theater, please let me know ASAP. I would be able to head in a day early or stay a day later if I know in advance...so we are looking at a Thursday the 5th visit or a Sunday/Monday the 8-9th visit. I need to know within the next few days before I book my plane tickets and rental car.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-19-2005 11:38 AM                     Brad, Depending on where your at...cause I'm up North.

You could come over and see the newly restored Temple Theatre and peek in on the Court Theatre, a neighborhod single screen inde. You might also stop in Birch Run and see the Cinema Hollywood 10 with their DLP and stadium seating. Let me know your plans.

You may want to stop there for that one..... Be careful around Detroit..... .

Bunch of Film-Tech haters up there? Brad, you obviously don't know what you're headed into . Watts is like Beverly Hills by comparison... It has an extremely HIGH crime rate! BE sure to go in an armored vehicle and have at least two body guards. Don't leave ANYTHING unattended in your armored car. Be sure to have locking lugnuts on all tires including the spare in the trunk. Detroit rates as my least favorite town in the world! Western Michigan and alot of the towns along Lake Michigan north of Benton Harbor kick butt though except for Benton Harbor... its a close relative of Detroit...... and former location of Heathkit when they were once a booming company and it was a safe town. BTW, Holloweens in Detroit is more dangerous than downtown Bagdad during a car bombing. Alot of the town goes up in flames every year at that time...... Another type of "Shock And Awe" I suppose. But then I always thought Detroit was "Shock And Awe" normally. While you're there be sure to visit the Urban Comnmunity Intervention To Prevent Arson Headquarters. PLease take lots of pictures of the burned out buildings all over the place for us to see.... Here is their web site.....

Just let me know  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 04-22-2005 03:20 PM                     Geezzz Mark, you make Detroit sound like Fresno...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-24-2005 09:40 PM                     quote: Jim Ziegler Geezzz Mark, you make Detroit sound like Fresno... I would vote Fresno as a much safer place to go to. Had a friend that lived there that repaired 35mm film cameras so have been there quite a few times. Mark  |  IP: Logged
