TV-13 Throwback!

One of the things I like about being a realtor is showing houses to potential buyers. I’m always amazed at the things I see…some good, some bad. This one put a smile on my face — it was a WZZM TV-13 Throwback!

I was showing a house on Friday afternoon with another realtor friend of mine. He sees this magnet on the refrigerator and smugly asks me, “So, do you know any of these people?” Know them?! I know each and every one of them!

I’m guessing this magnet is from the mid 1990’s.

Here are the people on the magnet:

  • Lee VanAmeyde, who has since retired from TV-13
  • Tracy Forner, who now works at WISH TV in Indianapolis, IN
  • Kim Covington, according to her Facebook page she is the Senior Director at Arizona Community Foundation
  • Bill Steffen, chief meteorologist at WOOD TV-8
  • Juliet Dragos, the lone survivor — still anchoring the news at WZZM TV-13

What a fun stroll down memory lane!

 

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
