LITTLE CAR, BIG IDEAS

The village of Fruitport, Michigan has lost a colorful landmark. A pink Crosley, a funny little car, perched high on a pole. I don't know who owns it now, but I hope they drive it around town as a tribute to Powell Crosley Jr. He was called the Henry Ford of radio when he produced low priced radios for the masses. Operated the world's most powerful radio station from Cincinnati that had the first full time weatherman, invented the first fridge with shelves in the door, designed an airplane, owned a baseball team, produced the first color telecast of a sports team. They should make a movie about him. Maybe they haven't because a fictionalized story wouldn't be as interesting as his real life.
