    I was looking at the receipts that were kept from when my mother and father were married [[Early 50's) and everything was purchased on Chene Street. Flowers, Wedding dress, Tuxedos, portraits, everything. That must have been quite the happening street back in the day.

    Every once in a while when I go to EM I'll shoot down Chene Street and there always seem to be two or three more houses/buildings that have been set on fire.

    How far north did Chene go before the Poletown plant came to be?

    What businessses were the reciepts from? Can you scan a few and post them?

    The street ended at E. Grand Boulevard, around the middle of the Poletown plant today.

    The map below [[where the St. Joseph text is) shows the northern portion of Chene, on a 45 degree angle to the other streets.
