First home and phone numbers
Hi,
Thought I would make my first post in this thread. I grew up in Westland, but currently living in Detroit. Lots of differences between the two, but I've been lucky to have good neighbors, both growing up, and now.
Here is a photo I snapped recently. The old phone number on the building always intrigued me.

Anyways, hello to the DetroitYES! Forum :)

This Thread should be titled "Where was your first home?"
Mine was on Ashland between Jefferson and Kercheval in the early sixties. Lived in the "Valley" - VA4-8535. Entire block is almost all vacant fields, as is where Ives Elementary was over on Phillip - You can see straight through from Ashland over to Phillip and beyond. Same for Grandma's house on Phillip between Essex and Avondale. The entire far east side has been decimated. But I'm not bitter...........................
