Woodward Dream Cruise

Dream Cruisers, we can hear you now

I pulled out my cellphone while stopped at Nine Mile and Woodward Avenue on Friday in Ferndale. I loaded up an app that reports decibels. Northbound came in at a whopping 115 dB. Southbound was a mere 110 dB. Well, that’s sandblasting or a loud rock concert territory, folks.

He generally looks at commuting from the driver's point of view and centers itself on subjects such as road construction (when, where, why and how long), gas prices, traffic laws, seat belt use, safety issues, question and answer columns and the occasional oddball story from readers.
