Thread: Brock Ave 1971

    Default Brock Ave 1971

    Hey super sleuths: This image is supposed to be from 1971, just a few years before all of the trees were lost to Dutch Elm disease. I can make out "Brock". Anyone know what street it is looking down?



    And here's a before & after pic, with the same photo and one from 1984:

    Wow, Brock goes from Rochelle at Kelly Road north up to Collinson at Gratiot so that's a lot of territory. Good luck; I'll be checking back to see if anyone knows.

    PS: Seems to me a lot of this CO2 problem could easily be solved by replacing the millions of trees lost to dutch elm and emerald ash borer. Seeing that old photo made me understand why Detroit used to be called the "city of trees".
