@Anniegran61 I lived near Grand River/ 7 Mile Rd area (There used to be a State Police outpost there) Right near this area between Detroit bound (northwest) & Redford bound (south east) Grand River, There were trolley tracks that ended, just like it shows here in this video- I remember seeing those as a teen, as I used to ride my bike all over that area...My mom told me the trolley ended there, and was traveled by many to Detroit back in the day ! (I'm in my late 50's)
Sorry...I didn't mean to make anyone feel older...I am 50 years old myself! But my Mom for years told us not to cross 8 Mile ( we lived 2 blocks North of 8 Mile off of Gratiot ) I think that was because of the riots tho! I love seeing what things looked like in years past. Have always taken an interest in history, especially the history of Detroit!
That was great...to see what it looked like in my Mom's day!!!!! What a treat, for sure!!!!
