This Franken-Triumph is a Triumph GT6 body on a Chevy S10 pickup frame with an Oldsmobile 440 V8. When we asked the guy why he built this he said, "Because those were the parts I had."

Hey #Chicago#Illinois#Indiana#Wisconsin#Michigan

Anyone know of a shelter or someone who would be willing to adopt a seven-year-old German Shepherd boy with separation anxiety? He is facing being euthanized in the area that he lives, so I'm hoping to cast a wider net in the hopes of getting someone to save him.

Time is short he will be gone by the end of this week if nobody can save him!

Kilwins Ann Arbor, a chocolate & dessert shop in #Michigan, closes this year. Co-owner Chera Tramontin said cost of goods like cocoa skyrocketed in recent years. #Trump #tariffs further increase the price.

When the store opened more than 40 years ago, it cost "$8.99 a pound for chocolate, & now we’re at $42.99 & going up," Tramontin said.

Her mother opened the store in 1983. It was the first Kilwins franchise store. Now, it’s an emotional goodbye to beloved customers & staff.

Today in Labor History July 8, 1968: A wildcat strike began in Detroit, Michigan against both the Chrysler Corporation and the UAW. At the time, the Dodge Hamtramck plant was 70% black, while the union local was dominated by older Polish-American workers. In response, black workers formed the new Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. The Revolutionary Union Movement quickly spread to other Detroit plants: Ford Revolutionary Union Movement at the Ford River Rouge Plant, and Eldon Avenue Revolutionary Union Movement at the Chrysler Eldon Avenue plant. They united in 1969 in the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
