I know this is actually "borderline" Detroit-but my high school was two blocks from Eight Mile Road.
Anybody care to share memories of Ferndale or Pleasant Ridge in the l960-70s? I-696 sort of tore up the area in the l980s. I lived two blocks from the Woodward bus, so I spent my weekends going to the Detroit Art Institute, Library, Hudson's, etc. Took the bus by myself-age 11. Once walked back alone from Art Institute to Boston Blvd.
