The Places Detroit Never Meant to Lose

An amusement park that vanished. A fairground erased by concrete. And a mansion built to outlast an era.

Not just growing, but connecting.This community is the reason.A Holiday NoteIf you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you and your family.If you celebrate something else, Happy Holidays — and if this is simply a quiet time of reflection for you, I hope it brings rest.Thank you for spending part of your week here, reading these stories, watching these videos, and caring about places that still matter.We’ll keep telling them.Because every home has a story.Every city carries memory.And we’re just getting started.— ChrisHistory Loves Company

THE STORIES WE KEEP | VOLUME 7

Hi — Chris here.This week felt heavier than most.Not because the stories weren’t powerful —but because so many of them no longer exist.Across Detroit, Pontiac, and Michigan as a whole, we explored places that once defined entire communities — homes, schools, and buildings that shaped daily life, pride, and identity... and in many cases, are now gone.This issue is about remembering them —and understanding why remembering still matters.

THE STORIES WE KEEP | VOLUME 6

Hey everyone — Chris here.This week was a perfect snapshot of what History Loves Company is becoming:a blend of architectural storytelling, hidden city history, and the strange, beautiful corners of Michigan most people never get to see.One Detroit neighborhood filled with million-dollar mansions hidden behind a forest.One city with tunnels no one believes exist — until you see them.And one Michigan home so unusual, people assume Photoshop is involved.So let’s get into it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🦃This week, we’re bouncing from Detroit’s mansion row to Pontiac’s most famous stadium and then across the state for a very Michigan Christmas.From Brush Park’s revival, to life after the Pontiac Silverdome, to the homes that define Christmas in Michigan — each episode is a reminder that history isn’t stuck in the past. It’s living, changing, and still lighting up the map.

Three vibes. One mission — preserve the past, empower the present, inspire the future. Let’s jump in.
