Ecorse River - Note

Note

Some sources designate the North and South branches as Ecorse Creek and only short combined stream as Ecorse River.

As of April 14, 2009, a high amount of E. Coli bacteria from human waste was found to be in the creek water. Officials were urging citizens to stay out and away from the water, and in case of accidental contact, clean yourself very well.

Famous quotes containing the word note:

    ... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.
    Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

    The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    In our Mechanics’ Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenter’s planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,—rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
