Gosh, you guys are bringing back all the old memories. I remember all of this stuff from my years on Virginia Park and then on Strathmoor. One thing I haven't seen mentioned are those little square...

Anyone else remember the old party lines? I used to love visiting my grandmother because she had one and I sneak in there and listen to all the gossip, lol. She caught me once and rather than...

My old number was BR2-2031. Went to SMR, the Great Lakes and lived at Grand River and Greenfield on weekends. First job was at the JC Pennys there. I miss those days in that neighborhood.

Have everyone over to play cards, have a few beers and bitch about everything!

I had totally forgotten that area. My cousin was in a horrible accent there back in the late 60's. She had a new 67 Camero and ended up flipping over a few times. Luckily only the car and her...

Wow, we lived at 7/Hayes back in the early 70's and it was great. Very sorry to hear it's gotten so bad.

Three bedroom, two bath, all electric $143.00 a month.
Water $60.00 [[also a sewer charge cause I'm in the country)

I loved our 4 door 59 Chevy Imapa! That was my dads first new car and had the biggest fins, lol. We drove out to California and ended up not being able to get through that giant redwood you could...

I worked in the Cadillac Tower back in the early 70's and it was a scary building back then. Our office moved to the Buhl after an elevator came down to the main floor, opened up and a couple of guys...

I was little when we used that tunnel...and every time I think of it I remember the smell of popcorn at the one end...and tried to talk my parents into letting me have some every time!

I grew up in Detroit during the Motown years...but also during the doowop years and all I can say is that even all these years later there is nothing that can brighten my day, put a spring in my step...

The principal of the Lutheran school on Grand River near Greenfield lived 2 doors down from us on Strathmoor. They were the nicest people and often came over to our house to visit. I think their...

I always loved Marcus burgers. Brays are great, but my absolute all time Detroit burger favorite was Betsy Ross on 7 Mile just a bit E of Woodward. I heard they closed that one but have one out in...

There was a National Bank of Detroit at the corner of GR and Mark Twain.

My very first job when I was 16 was at the JC Pennys at GR/Greenfield. The whole time I was growing up my mom and I always took a walk after dinner..often to the Sanders at Greenfield and we'd split...

When I lived there it was a Lutheran church. On the corner of Strathmoor and GR was a Cunninghams on one side and Great Lakes bakery on the other.

Oh gosh, I used to walk past that building almost every day. It used to be a very nice church when I was growing up. Just the other side of it was my moms favorite dress shop and there was a coin...

Pleased to meet you! Look forward to your posts in the future.

Yep, it was in the middle of the block. They had a huge lunch counter that we used to go to all the time. They sold out and closed up in 1968 if my memory serves. That was my last year at Murphy...

I went to St Marys of Redford and when we moved from there to Lahser and McNichols it was my job to walk up to Iversons every Saturday for a cherry coffee cake. I still remember the Woolworths on GR...

What a horrible day for those poor people. Words are inadequate in situations such as this.

I know this isn't about Hudsons, or salads, but I remember when Northland first opened. My aunt was one of the first servers at Sanders...and boy was it great to take the bus there and have her fix...

I don't know if anyone else out there misses this Detroit classic, but I found the receipe online and thought I'd share, so here goes:

DRESSING:
2 t. white vinegar
1 1/2 t. lemon juice
1 1/2...

Until I was diagnosed with emphysema I smoked like a chimney...around 3 packs a day. I was the person that everyone said would never quit. One day I shocked hubby by putting the pack down with the...

LOL, I needed a good laugh today and this certainly supplied it. Thanks!
