The book series under the umbrella of "Images of America" by Arcadia Publishing are some of my favorites to read.  In just the one category of "Industrial" there came up 91 different books for locales in most of the U.S.  The books have old time photos, drawings and sketches and give us a glimps...

I thought for today's post that I would give an updated "picture", if you will, of my local housing market.  On a regular basis I do reports in http://www.RealtyTimes.com for my hometown of the "collective" Grosse Pointe area which is actually made up of 5 individual municipalities.  I also do re...
