Re: Last Electronics Store
Just called Bernie at the Electronic Connection....he said EPCO was owned by a guy named Hollowecki. Bernie had never visited, but said that he recalls it in Allen Park. He mentioned MN Duffy near Cass Tech, Reno Radio on Broadway in Detroit, and Wiedemeiers and Purchase Radio in Ann Arbor. He used ...

Re: Last Electronics Store
I recall a green building, but that is a 50 year old plus recollection and likely faulty.
It was north of where the fire department is, not too awfully south of Southfield.

Re: Last Electronics Store
Anyone remember 'The Electronics Parts Company' (EPCO) in Allen Park on the west side of Roosevelt Road, south of Southfield, well north of Ecorse, along the railroad tracks?
My high school electronics teacher arranged a discount for his students there.

And you were expecting something else from the party in question? I recommend the ignore function; it works pretty well.audiophile wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:33 amKind, TCT? That's a false implication, and reeks of trollism.

Re: Hollywood TV & movie strike
From the article linked: "Deadline reports that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" are stopping production beginning on Tuesday." As Graham Wellington wrote on this board a while back, I'm not sure it should take a full cadre of wr...

Re: Sinclair called out
As I said on another post in another forum: The writing is on the wall, and the smart ones are getting out now. "Kids" (whatever that is....under 35?) just ain't watching local news on local stations. They are barely watching the local stations. You can't run a news department running Medicare Advan...

Re: FM power in different areas
Are there advantages or disadvantages between height and lower power vs. lower height and higher power? Height trumps power virtually every time. By having more antenna height, you create a larger area of line of sight, and that is, for the most part, what determines coverage. Free space path atten...

Re: NBC 24 Ending News Operations
I've been told repeatedly by millennials and younger that 'cable' is not of interest to them, and I assume much less is OTA TV. I even got into a rather pointless discussion with a young friend who decried the need for cable since "we just stream over wifi". She was not able to understand that her "...

Re: Northville Skateboard Park
I don't have a problem with the park being 'launched in his memory' as the story states, but I do have a serious problem with him being forever and officially memorialized. He is not one of the people that stormed the cockpit of Flight 93 on 9/11 and saved a lot of lives on the ground. He's not a Co...

Re: Hampton Inn
Wow.
Two pages of discussion based upon the alleged remarks of a minimally paid front desk attendant who seems to have been elevated here to the role of CIO of Hilton/Hampton and assumed to be speaking for the chain.
Slow news week. Waste of time.
