I remember it being there when we would practice and play for the Northwest Detroit Little League there in the mid and...

Hi jcole; thanks for that information, the building must have sit way back from 7 mile. Did the school sit behind Gemeiner Recreation Center? There was a bank where the SS office is today. I worked...

I'm trying to envision the school if it was located at 10235 W. 7 mile rd. Tom's Tavern is located at 10031 W. 7 mile rd. and the recreation center - Germinor [[correct spelling?) was located at 10301...

During the riots, the Merchandise Mart store, located on the east side of Livernois between 7 mile and Clarita, was burned to the ground and was re-built shortly thereafter. That was [[as far as I...

Hi 3WC, I don't remember the Robin Hood being on the east side of Livernois. I thought it was on the west side of the street near Chippewa, if memory serves me correctly.

Wasn't there supposed to be a proposed apartment building going up at the old Detroit Bank and Trust about a block south of this apartment on Livernois and Clarita? And I think I read that a coffee...

My mother worked at 640 Temple when it was either County Social Services or Michigan Social Services. She used to talk about "640 Temple" all the time. I can remember dropping her off to work there.

Bettye LaVette is trying to think of the name of a BAR on the east side of 12th, somewhere between Webb and either Courtland or Davison. It was owned by the Fishmans who eventually built the Chit...

That bar graph had me laughing so hard I cried! It's just the same when guys during a basketball game say "I'm the realest MotherF***er" out here. I told him that we were all "real" 3D beings, and...

I would post also in the Soulful Detroit Forum; there are some people who may know something about the 3-D Record Mart.

Yes, the WWJ building is still there on eight mile and meyers. The building that was demolished was on eight mile and pinecrest, which is about 3/4 of a mile east of the WWJ building. I just drove...

The giant slide at Belle Isle is the second giant slide, this one was put in about six years ago. How many people use the slide depends on the time of day. In the early afternoon, there was not...

You can also try the Northwest Activities Center, located at Meyers and Curtis on the northwest side of Detroit. I believe they open at 6:00 a.m., but again, I would call ahead and check.

A couple of months ago I went to Cass to look through the '71 yearbook for pictures of coach Dick Cole and the football and track teams, as Dick Cole passed away last fall. Used some of the pictures...

Recently the Spinners were on the TV show "unsung". They stated that they grew up in Ferndale, Michigan. In the early history segment of the show, every local place they went to looked to me like...

On Livernois, north of Outer Drive to St. Martins there were little stores and boutique shops, the biggest store was Grinnell's. From St. Martins to Pembroke was Northwestern Dodge on the west side...

I would also go over to the "Soulful Detroit" forum and there you could probably find some articles on Martha Jean as well as people who are knowlegable of her career in Detroit.

The building where Cunningham's was is now closed, it was a beauty supply store; I think all of the buildings between Cunningham's and B. Siegels are all closed. There may be a church in the old...

Gary - Oh yeah! I think it was called Skippers Table with a big sign of a "captain" turning a wheel on a ship. I think we only went there once or twice in my life, as my parents thought it was too...

Besides the SS Kresge store on the corner of Livernois and 7 mile [[which was my main hangout) there was also a Monroes Record store on Livernois between 7 mile and Clarita. Right next to Kresge was a...
