That is very true where I lived on Littlefield between Vassar and Saint Martins. Take a short walk from there South to The 7 mile Road business district and there was just about everything you could need right there.

Yes. I grew up in Jefferson-Chalmers until I went away to college in the late 60's. Everything was there; supermarkets, clothing, shoe and jewelry stores, utility offices, hardware and appliance stores, several movie theaters, restaurants, Secretary of State office, doctor & dentist offices. All between Conner and Alter Rd.
