My friend and I have a bet as to when Softball City closed. Searches gave me nothing. Does anyone know the year, or approximate year it closed? Thanks.

Indeed, I'm perplexed that this area containing numerous destinations and decent foot traffic, harbors as many "ruffians" as it does. I can't tell you how many times I've been accosted walking to a...

This brings back so many memories. I was nine years old visiting my relatives in a remote northern Italian village with ONE TV station. Every day, the riots were featured prominently, with my...

I hate tomato juice, but the Bloody Mary at Cass Cafe is divine. Spicy as hell, strong, and has a lot of depth.

I believe it was Dandy's.

While not in Detroit proper, I have been a patient of Dr. Dale Petrusha on Ford Rd. in Dearborn Heights since 1984, and a patient of his predecessor since 1970. The doc is an excellent...

I was nine years old and my family spent the summer visiting relatives in a tiny Northern Italian village with only one TV station. The riots were featured every day in living black-and-white. I'd...

The Greenmarket at Union Square in NYC is a blast. Three or four times a week, hundreds of farmers and specialty food vendors set up in one of the more exciting areas of the city. I especially like...

Great set of pics. Thanks!

I'm very familiar with that corner, but how small of an amusement park was this? When the Rollerdrome was there, it would have been an extremely small plot of land for rides and such. Did it extend...

My immigrant Italian mother used to refer to Hughes & Hatcher as "Arri Suffri". I always thought she was just butchering "Hughes, Hatcher, & Suffrin", but later came to realize she was referring to...

CityGirl, Google Maps lists Starter's Lounge at Plymouth and Faust. I used to go to Mr. Ted's after work, just a couple of blocks east of here.

Wheels, I lived at 8151 Coyle from 1958 to 1986. Did you go to Parkman? I too used to play in that field, behind Lutheran West. Saw Eddie Feigner and his softball team King and His Court there.

The Winter Classic hosted by the Sabres was playes in Orchard Park, NY--not Buffalo.

The FB page is called "The Ol' Neighborhood 48228".

Sadly, Stevie has been quoted that he will not be playing in the Alumni game.

You're right. Arbor was bought by CVS--not Perry.

I grew up in the Joy/Greenfield area and used to ride my bike to the Civic Drugs as a teenager. They carried many products not found anywhere else. Civic became an Arbor Drugs, then Perry Drugs. ...

We lived in the Joy/Greenfield area, and my parents only went to Grand River/Oakman to shop at Sears. Grand River/Greenfield and Northland were the shopping districts of preference. Among many...

I'm really enjoying this.

Buddy's pizza topped with sausage, diced tomatoes, spinach, and onions.
Cheeseburgers at bates in Livonia.
Fish and Chips at Z's Villa.
McClure's pickles.

Cobo Joe's is where I go before games. The place is packed with half the crowd wearing Wings jerseys. Classic hockey fights are on the TV's, and the burgers are great, and all a five-minute walk...

My parents' favorite store was Sears. We shopped at the Grand River/Oakman store until that closed, then on to the Lincoln Park location, until Sears opened at Fairlane. I continued the tradition...

Hi everyone! First-time post.

Went to Fairlane on Dec. 26 midday and the place was packed. However, I saw very few people carrying shopping bags, and many [[I'd guesttimate 25-35%) were groups of...
