Worked at WWJ at the time, they put a camera on the roof of the building - but WXYZ on Second sent out Barney Morris and Ken Thomas and they won hands down for the coverage. Drove in from Ferndale everyday, straight down Livernois to Lafayette. Didn't see any real action except for what was on TV. It was a surreal experience, almost like it wasn't happening blocks away - except for all the inconvenience of the curfew and all the favorite haunts being closed. I still cringe when I hear the names of streets like Pingree and recall the awful stories of unarmed youths being shot. Oh well.
