I'm not a big fan of the Detroit bus system, but growing up in Detroit from the late 50's I don't recall many DSR etc. coaches on the side of the road in need of repair. None broke while I was riding...

Funny you mention the powered "reel" mower. On my Detroit News Paper Route a guy gave me a Radio Flyer wagon [[still have it) and one of those mowers. I was going to mount the motor on my mini bike,...

Barely recall Herschel's, but there was Olson's up near Monkey Wards. And in about 77 a wholesale place across from Miller Feed at Gd. River and Lahser.

On the route a couple of us would eat at Joey's Paddock [[he was a former jockey) or stop at the Village Shoppe on Warwick...both on Grand River. I finally quit my route to work at Dunkin' Donuts.

Yea, I had Detroit News at the station behind Cartwheel and Sun Ya's near Biff's [[we called it "Barf's". I remember it being built too. Mr. Thompson ran the paper station, he was usually soused and...

We went to Bushnell Church on Southfield Rd.. On Sunday after church our family would all stop at Cunningham's and we would spend our allowance. I got 5 cents per week and could still buy candy. They...

There was a men's store just north of Cunninghams. I bought several suits there in the late 70's or early 80's...can't recall the name. Kresge's had a back door at one time which came out by the...

Rosedale Park does not extend north of 6 Mile [[McNichols).

There were also nice tunnels connecting the Fisher, GM and New Center [[Albert Kahn) buildings. Each of the buildings had businesses; Barber shop, Bar, restaurants, shoe shine, watch repair etc.
