Take a look at Westborn [[Michigan and Oakwood Blvd.) and Eastborn [[Michigan and Schaefer) to judge for yourself. Most of the Fairlane developments [[aside from Ford's HQ) came along in the 1970s through 1990s, long after these town centers were established,

Eastborn is essentially Dearborn's old downtown. It's similar to, say, Grand River/Greenfield in Detroit. It was even anchored by a Multi-Level Montgomery Wards store like Grand River and Greenfield.
