Houston-whittier Hayes area.
Hi,
I'm a new poster here.
I want know if anybody here grew up in Northeast Detroit in the 1970's.
I grew up on Rochelle St. a couple doors from Queen.
I remember we had a Chatham market, on Hayes and Mayfield,an A&P on Houston, Jones Brothers ACE Hardware, Papes [[Pares?) House of Gifts across from there, and my favorites, the Kressgees dime store, and Cunninghams Drugs between Hayes and Kelly.
I had my first bank account at Standard Federal Savings at Kelly and Hayes,
Does anyone remember the little shoe repair shop across the alley from the bank?
We filled our bike tires at Degroff and sons Amoco at Hayes and Rochelle street. [[Free Air!)
We went to movies at the Civic Theatre and bowled at Denby Lanes.
We also had Lopos hobby shop, the Bonnie Lo supermarket, does any one remember the Fotomat in the bonnie Lo parking lot?
I now live in Roseville, but drive through my old neighborhood from time to time, i'm sorry to see how much it has deteriorated.
LeBistros and Big Bills Salloon
I used to go to a couple of Bars in that area, Im wondering if anybody remembers them, or if they are still open. I always had a good time there, mostly. It was in the late 70's early 80's. The neighborhood was pretty safe back in thoes days. A lot of nice lookng young chicks would frequent them. Barly legal if at that.
There names are LeBistro's or something like that. It was near Hayes and Kelly.
And also Big Bill's Salloon on Houston Wittier. Does anybody remember these places, Im yet to see anybody memtion them. I now live Up North in Alpena County.
