My girlfriend, Linda, invited me to a senior's program the City of Farmington Hills hosted today. The speaker was Gary Glaser, a documentary filmmaker, and among the YouTube films he showed and discussed was J.L. Hudson's Department Store. The old Detroit Tiger Stadium and Michigan Central Train Station were also part of his program.
The program, which began at 10:00 a.m., was held at the Costick Activities Center.
A brunch was served before the program began.

Below is a video interview with a man who worked at Michigan Central Train Station. The vandalized station is in the background. Ford Motor Company bought it in 2018 and began the massive restoration project. It's scheduled to be completed later this year or the beginning of 2023.
After the program, Linda and I visited the Costick Resale Shop. They had a Royal Dalton Brambly Hedge teacup for $6, which I purchased.
Before coming home, Linda gave me a tin of Harney and Sons Green Tea with Coconut, Ginger and Vanilla. I enjoyed a cup as soon as I got home.
It was an enjoyable morning and I look forward to returning in November when Gary's program will be entirely about Hudson's.
That sounds like a great outing, especially with a good friend along! And I love that Brambley Hedge teacup and saucer.
