1955 Detroit Street Car - Unknown Street?

[professorscott]

I am taking a guess, saying Woodward Avenue north of McNichols. The streetcar tracks ran in the median strip there. At the Fairgrounds the streetcars went into the turn-around and headed back south on Woodward.

Yep, but no need to guess. This photo appears on the excellent detroittransithistory.info web site, captioned as follows: "Farther south along Woodward, mid-way between Seven Mile Road and McNichols [[Six Mile), car #227 heads north along the center median PRW while between Savannah and Nevada streets [[across from Palmer Park). Since the taking of this photo in 1955, Gib Bergstrom Used Cars and the Log Cabin Lanes bowling alley [[hidden behind PCC car) have been remodeled and taken over by the Park Motor Sales/Lincoln-Mercury dealership, which closed its doors in late 2009."
