I went to Google Search, clicked on the “Images” option, which lets you search specifically for pictures and typed “Swim Mobile” - with the quotes. There’s only one result - that picture.
If you delete everything after the .us in the link, it will take you to Detroit’s city webpage. At the bottom of that page is the email address for the person that I gave you - more poking around might give you a better lead on someone else.
Me too, that and my Mom IMs me ever hour or so, so I have to find out or work will be impossible
Myself I alternate between really cool, and really crazy.
I googled Rose Love Detroit and found this number 313-224-3757 for Rose Love as the contact for Detroit’s Sister Cities program and Relocation program. Perhaps she still can help you find out who to contact about the photo. I can’t wait to hear how this turns out!
Not yet I was just talking to my Mom about it again. I hadn’t yet tried the number but my e-mails have gone unaswered. I’m going to try that number tommorrow, but thanks for the bump, I was planning on searching for it today.
If you get no response from that number, try the city archives as mentioned above - their staff might be a lot more knowledgeable about specific photographs than you expect, or at least able to pull up that one given the rest of the information on that page. Or possibly so understaffed that you talk to a misplaced intern from some other department. But the city archives are, at least in part, there to serve you.
That song has been stuck in my head since I first saw the photo. Oh, and I decided not to wait and left a voice mail message after I my last post. If I had waited I was sure to get caught up in work related crap, which is why I haven’t called before now.
sperfur I forgot to mention that my Mom doesn’t use Photoshop, I had assumed she did because she does the layouts for an Asheville weekly, she used whatever program came with her camera, the photo cleaned up nicely and she’s so convinced that she uses it as her IM pic.
Zebra It wasn’t a bet, what brought the conversation up in the first place was that we were talking about signing the boys up for swimming, and I mentioned that the Swim Mobile was my first encouter with swimming. She’s pretty amazed by the whole thing, and she’s seen the picture I mentioned earlier that still hasn’t surfaced.
AwSnappityStill nothing. I may start trying the other names listed, I mean you’d think she could at least let me know she received my phone message or e-mail. Maybe she’s on vacation.
