Ghost Ship Part II: S.S. Columbia
Look what I discovered paddling around a bend on the Buffalo River. The S.S. Columbia, sister ship to the S.S. Ste. Claire which recently burned. Once restored, the excursion steamer will travel the Hudson River.

Roesink Stadium
A fund-raising effort is now underway to restore Hamtramck's Roesink Stadium, one of few surviving ballparks from baseball's Negro League era.
Two different incarnations of Detroit Stars along with the Detroit Wolves called Roesink Stadium home. The stadium opened in 1930 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 2012. A historical marker will be placed at the site during a ceremony on August 14.
If you are interested in volunteering or donating to the effort you can contact Gary Gillette, president of the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium, at GGillette@247Baseball.com.

Here's the Steeple
It appears as though the Mother of Divine Mercy Parish's "Save Our Steeples" campaign has been a success. Rather than removing St. Josaphat's damaged central steeple and capping the tower with a new roof, work began earlier this spring to restore the 200 foot structure and clad its exterior with new slate.

71 Garfield
Garfield Manor at 71 Garfield has been converted into combined housing and studio space for artists. It will contain 20 residential units and 20 studios. The complex is green. Geothermal, solar and wind and water retention systems will reduce net energy consumption and the waste stream to near zero.
*Note* Please ignore the color differences in the brick. I'm not sure how much the difference is from clean up or from my exposure.
