While reading the record stores of the past thread, new poster Corvax wrote about riding a bike from 6 and John. R. back in the early seventies. Kind of an interesting area, Dakota Inn is there, several blocks north of six mile, lots of drug action back in late nineties. Long abandoned bars and assorted small businesses, with a smattering of churches here and there. Some resale spots. There appeared to have been much light industry between Goldengate and eight mile.

What are youre memories of the area? Do you remember when it was vibrant? What was the racial makeup of the area and when did it start changing?
