Question About Road Construction on Gratiot

[stasu1213]

Oh, I'm sure it was pure hell back then, especially with the commercial districts that were along Gratiot and their pedestrian traffic [[7 Mile/Gratiot, Chene/Gratiot, Harper/Gratiot, Van Dyke/Gratiot, 6 Mile/Gratiot, etc.).

I would love to know what businesses lined Gratiot from downtown to 7 mile rd

In the 1950s and early 1960s, the stores along Gratiot two blocks north and south of 7-Mile were roughly equivalent to a moderate sized indoor mall.
