The origin of Pontiac

These signs are popping up all over Oakland County, including Pontiac, Clarkston, and communities further south.

They discuss not only automotive topics but other items of historic interests (homes of local leaders and merchants, mill ponds, buildings used by Henry Ford, etc).

Marge Sawruk, wife of Pontiac Historian John Sawruk and mother of Jeff and John Jr, played a significant role in getting these created and placed.

Lee - could you point me please to where you found that? I'd like to see if they have a comprehensive list in one place of all of the sign contents and locations.

Chevelle guys, help me out.

Should the outside corner piece of the grill be blacked out?

Still learning.

OMG, this would look fabulous in my driveway as well...:drool:
Love the notchbacks.

Blacked out

Some photos from my summer of 2016 MI trip...

A few more, to further capture the spirit -

The historic Clark home (as in CLARK-ston), on Main Street, is for sale if any of you would like to be my neighbor.

Bonus!

These were behind the old high school when I was turning around.

I was born and raised in Flint, and my dad worked there for 25 of his 30 years with GM, so I'm pretty immersed in Flint culture and history.

(In fact, my sister is a retired Flint schoolteacher and has just started working at the Flint Institute of Arts as her retirement gig).

I'm happy to answer or research any questions anyone might have, if ever.

green is a “cool” color that won’t be distracting. Being on an interstate or highway is already hazardous because of high-speed limits. Because of this, you have to keep your eyes on the road at all times.

“It blends in enough to be considered part of the scenery, but sticks out enough to notice when you need it,” says ADOT’s John LaBarbera.

If highway signs, mile marker signs, or any other non-emergency signs were a different color, like red, our eyes would be darting all over the place, making driving even more hazardous.

The first McDonald's Drive Thru was installed in a restaurant based in Sierra Vista, Arizona, located near the Fort Huachuca military installation. Military rules forbade the soldiers from wearing their military uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian clothes just to grab a burger and run back to base, so restaurant manager David Rich came up with a solution: cut a hole into the wall and allow members of the military to pick up their orders without stepping out of their car. The convenience and simplicity of the idea quickly caught on.

If someone tells you they're "sweating like a pig" you might want to point out to them (if you're that sort of person) that if they were being biologically accurate, that would mean they were not sweating at all. Swine are born without sweat glands, so when they need to cool off, their only option tends to be to find a cool puddle of mud in which they can roll around.

An empty fridge not only makes it more difficult to decide what to snack on, it also wastes valuable energy. It works like this: the more empty space in the fridge, the more cold air is displaced by warm when you open the door, requiring the appliance to generate cool air to replace it. If the fridge is packed, less cool air escapes and less energy is required to replenish it. The writers at The Kitchn go so far as to advise fridge owners to fill empty bottles with water in order to displace the empty air.

The American Public Power Association (APPA) says that squirrels are the most frequent cause of power outages in the U.S. The APPA even developed a data tracker called "The Squirrel Index" that analyzes the patterns and timing of squirrels' impact on electrical power systems. Turns out, the peak times of the year for squirrel attacks are from May to June and October to November.
