Detroit Mass Mobs a HUGE Success!
On July 13th, for the third Sunday in a row, the Detroit Mass Mob movement filled every seat and spilled out the doors at another historic, architecturally awe-inspiring Catholic church in Detroit.
An estimated 1,800 curious Catholics, many who attend suburban parishes, made for a standing-room-only crowd at Sweetest Heart of Mary Catholic Church at 4440 Russell, considered the largest Catholic church in the city.

Eileen's Note: I don't know who came up with this idea, but I think it's terrific! I support the efforts of this group and hope that more groups like it are created to support all of Detroit's historic buildings in danger of being abandoned and demolished.
A LIFE REMEMBERED
OLLIE FRETTER
Ollie Fretter was very much the public face of his chain. His TV pitches included the memorable pledge, “I’ll give you 5 pounds of coffee if I can’t beat your best deal.” The Free Press noted in a 1996 article that Fretter’s “Ollie Oops” sales on dinged and dented merchandise were a penny-pincher’s delight.

Miss Ardis, Romper Room
In the mid 1950s, a generation of Detroit pre schoolers sat in front of their TV screens hoping that Romper Room’s Miss Ardis would see them in her Magic Mirror. "Romper bomper stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play?”

RADIO FLASHBACK
Pat St. John Lee Alan
If you have fond memories of listening to Lee Alan on The Horn, at WXYZ-AM 1270 in the 1960s, you will really enjoy listening to Southfield native Pat St. John on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, 1 pm till 5 pm weekdays (EDT) on Channel 6.
This is where they feature the music of the '60s and it's obvious that Pat was a Lee Alan fan. He even uses Lee's old opening them "Zing Went the Strings," plus his cadence and on-air style will remind you of those old days on Wixie radio.
No, he's not trying to imitate Lee; it's just that Mr. Alan was a great influence on his radio career which started at WSHJ (Southfield High School) and he worked at CKLW and WKNR Keener 13.
Management has also given Pat extraordinary freedom to play songs, and create segues that you just don't hear on radio anymore! If you have satellite radio in your car or at home, this show is worthy of your time and has a LOT of Detroit flavor attached to it.
