Local Man To Do 24 Hour “Sit-In” To Raise Money For The American Cancer Society
Breast cancer is something that hits close to home for me. I lost my mother at the age of 46 in 1992 to this dreaded disease. My co-worker, Shannon Renee, is also a five-year survivor.
Well, this Saturday, Adam Walsh will be doing a 24-hour “sit-in” to help raise funds in the fight against this disease in his “Save Second Base” initiative. He’ll be in front of The Nail bar, at 36434 Groesbeck Ave in Clinton Twp from 4 pm Saturday, until Sunday at 4 pm in the big pink chair. All the info is on the flyer below.
But that’s not all, he’s also hosting a comedy night with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. The Pink Punchlines will feature Heather Vangheluwe, Matt Wolf, Charles Hill, Colleen Diponio, and Justin Divozzo. That’s happening on Friday, October 20th, also at The Nail in Clinton Twp.
I commend Adam for all he’s doing to raise funds. Good luck to him! If you’re in the area this weekend, swing by and show him some support.

Things You Need To See In Michigan's Upper Peninsula
While on vacation last week, I thought I’d take a trip somewhere I’ve never been…..to the upper peninsula. When my kids played hockey, they played in Mackinaw city and whatnot, but I’ve never really been to the U.P..
That changed as I stayed at the Birch Lodge in Trout Lake. Blink, and you miss it that little town. My kind of place! So quiet, too. The nightly fire was soooo quiet. Yes, I’d highly suggest staying at the Birch Lodge.
As far as the trip, I loved it! I wasn’t crazy about the gas prices up there – all over $4 a gallon, or the lack of “good” food. I think I gained 5 lbs eating pasties, which were delicious by the way! I probably put about 70 miles on my bicycle. Not bad, but not great. I mean, I was on vacation after all.
Here’s some pictures of my trip up north.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
