There's not really any churches on 8 Mile because when it was widened to its current width, it was still mostly rural and considered a super highway. Most church organizations built off of 8 Mile and in the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Most churches [[and other landmarks) on other major thoroughfares [[which were also considered super highways) were usually present before the thoroughfares were widened.

It pretty much is the mid-century equivalent of Hall Road, minus the huge parking lots for the retail establishments.
