Long time since I've been here but I just found this blog link and I bet it's likely that someone in this group grew up on or near this block! ...

There is a recently established Facebook group you may wish to check out for discussion of Arthur. It is called "Arthur Junior High - Detroit."

May 29 was the anniversary of his death.

I remember the archery range. Also in the winter there would be ice skating in front of another building just east of the hill. They also sold hot chocolate in that building by the skating area.

If you really want to find yourself sucked into spending oodles of time on the net searching for more pictures of memories, you'll be sure to want to bookmark this site if you haven't already:...

I don't remember what restaurant was in the Concourse at Eastland but rather than a "Hallmark shop" I remember a place called McDevitt's which I believe also sold Catholic/religious supplies.

That...

I've attached a few pictures to help jog those memories! A couple from Balduck Park and three from Eastland including one of the Lion and Mouse. The other two were taken at the doorway of Hudson's...

Pretty easy to get around that. Just end your short post with the requisite number of extra periods following it........................

See?...... :D

Anyway I'm surprised that this thread...

My parents' house [[on Whitehill between Britain and Grayton) had an incinerator. But I don't think we used it much if at all.

I do remember this -vaguely. I would have been about 5 or 6 years old at the time. But I think my grandfather called everything "rubbish" or at the very least used the terms interchangeably. I don't...

Thanks for the guess, but I don't think it was Mary Ann Mahaffey, the former Council president. I think the Mary [[or maybe her name wasn't even Mary) I am thinking of was a relative unknown and, as I...

I just thought of another one, but I can't remember her name - and I tried Googling in vain.

In the Detroit mayoral election of 1980, there was Coleman Young, John Mogk, and a few other people...

I once received a roll of Rolaids!

Barbara-Rose Collins.

I liked it too!

Here in Arizona many neighborhoods including my own have most electrical lines run underground - which eliminates the issue of having to trim trees around power lines. It also eliminates those nasty...

I remember this. I lived on Nottingham between Morang and Britain during that time and I remember in particular that many of the streets north of Morang and going towards Moross were HEAVILY...

I moved from MI to AZ in 2001 and at first it sure did seem like "something was missing out of the landscape" but after a few months to a year I got used to it. I do remember driving through an area...

I remember the Golden Lion being a full restaurant, not just a "bar." My mom took me to lunch there once.

Wow. Looks like a war zone - 20 times worse even than I remember it from 10 years ago.

I don't know about the gift shop at 7 and Kelly, but "the Chinese place" was Pagoda's and my family got carry out from there quite often and also used Indian Village cleaners a lot too. CampfireGirl...

I too am curious about the St. Francis Home for Boys aspect. I used to contribute to the St. Francis Home many years ago but never knew just where it was [[I was an east-sider).

Does the St....

Glad to see this thread has come back to life!

I think I remember the Air Raid Drill Signs - were those the ones in the basement, and were they black and yellow? Or maybe I'm just remembering...

Ok, honest answer: I'd best describe it as "half and half."

I am, seriously, a proponent of freeways - I'm the type that would go miles out of my way to take a freeway route rather than a...

I'm almost 100% sure you're right about it becoming AAA - but I'm still at least 50% confident about a fire in between, too.
