About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    Those are clever! What kind of a business is it? Design of some sort I’m guessing?

      I thought so too Zazzy – each handle is so different and they are big too. Regina Andrew is a modern home furnishings store. I have never been inside it, just peeked in the window. All their pieces look unique.

    The last one reminds me of a projector reel. The first one? Oddly, I go right back to one of the final scenes in “The Poseidon Adventure”, where Gene Hackman saves the survivors by shutting off steam, hanging by his hands from one of those wheels. It’s a scene forever etched in my mind (apparently!)

      I really liked that movie Dave! Those were the days, the era of disaster movies, like “The Poseidon Adventure”, “Earthquake” and “Airport”, with all good actors and storylines that kept you on the edge of your seat to see what would happen. Yes, those handles do like projector reels and shut off valve handles.

      I thought they were awesome too Diane. They weren’t open which was too bad as I would have liked to have seen how they open – do you push, pull or turn them like a wheel?

    These left me wondering what this store owner sells?

      They are a home furnishings/decor store TD, mostly modern furniture and I always look in the window so I have seen unique artwork, furnishings and also they have modern lighting as well. It is quite a large store as you might guess since they have three doors.

    I really like them, they are unusual and yet still functional, plus they are recycled from something so it’s a win win !

      I liked them too Susan – very unique and I agree it is a win win. I sure wish the store had been open so I could have tried the door handle to see if you push/pull or have to twist it like a wheel to open the door. I didn’t want to set off any burglar alarms!

      I thought they were unique too Rebecca. I wish I could have opened the doors to see how the handles worked: push/pull or twist around? They were closed and I might have set off the burglar alarm.

    Very different. And not on an old barn, on modern doors.

    I wouldn’t think much about it if they were on a ship, but they’re certainly unusual here. Great find.

    Beautiful doors and handles. My dad built the cabin my folks lived in, and all of his doors have a handle system where you slide a piece of wood into a hole bored into the door frame, and he had a way you could lock the door too. People are always fascinated by the doors in that place.

      They are really unique Dawn … this is a modern furnishings store, so it gives it a very different look. That is great that your dad built a cabin and not just ornamental doors, but doors that had the ability to keep predators out as well. I worked with a guy who built a cabin up in Marquette. It is not winterized to stay there in Winter, but they go up there the rest of the year.

    I’m sure these are not actually water-tight doors like you might see on an old ship, but that’s what they remind me of. Love these!
