Thanks for your postings to bring me up to date-the A & P was across the street from the Farmer Jack. I don't remember a Kroger's. There was a rock shop [[hobby shop?) on Nine Mile near Livernois. I also remember a Ray Croton's Supper Club, a Neisners, Kresge's, the big Federal's, and a branch of Hagelstein's Bakery .
The traffic on l0 Mile and Ridge was awful [[before the I-696.)
Then there was Hedge's Wigwam [[burned down) and Amy Joy donuts and Red Barn.
