Where were you during the 1967 Detroit Riot?

[Stinger4me]

Working on the Grand Trunk Western RR at the Ferndale yard, and going past the Army troops camped in the infield on the Michigan State Fair. On the way home getting stopped during the curfew and explaining why I was out beyond the curfew.

Me: Kind of similar.

Was a student, curious and decided I wanted to get '[[kind of) close to the action.'

I was told in no uncertain terms by a Michigan State Policeman to 'get the hell out of there..."

I did... That was my one and only. I felt no inkling to drive up to Baltimore last year. Just watched Wolfe Blitzer get excited on CNN.
