Mack Avenue History

[bust]

One must also remember that there was considerable destruction in that area during the 1967 Detroit riot.

I'll add to that it was also the stomping grounds of all kinds of predatory drug dealers later. Maybe already back then? [[If someone knows, I'm curious when drugs became a problem in the neighborhood.)

There were a lot of factors, clearly.

I wonder how much keeping the streetcars would have helped.

I'm also interested in any other theories.
