R.I.P. Comedy actress Ruth Buzzi, who died yesterday at the age of 88.
I absolutely could NOT stand her when I was a kid. Never understood what the appeal was with her.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

RIP person in Kentwood on 28th near Radcliff that passed yesterday in a severe car accident.

https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-count ... -kentwood/

“I’m so shocked this happened” - Remarked nobody who has lived or drove through Kentwood on 28th street…

All seriousness condolences to the family.
That same spot almost got my Grandma in 2021 during a horrible car accident, she made it out alive somehow but many others aren’t so lucky. 28th st is a mess, no wonder 28th/Kal, 28th/Ebeltline, 28th/Clyde Park, 28th/Buchanan, 28th/SDivision, 28th@U.S.131 are regulars on the roster of ‘Kent Co Most Dangerous Intersections’ (by accidents).
Stay safe out there!

My brother and I were in his car at a stoplight there at Radcliff facing west. Light turned green for the left turn, person about a car length behind us hits the gas and rear ends us. Pull into Arby's parking lot, she's driving on a suspended license, begs us not to call police... She went to jail. Bumper messed up but we felt ok.
I avoid 28th whenever possible.
