Born and raised on the east side-Manistique/Kerchaval when born from 63-64 . Lived in Battlecreek Mich. 64-66. Moved back to east Detroit- Eastlawn/Jefferson from 66-71 then Marlborough/Kerchaval from 71-75 then Wayburn/Mack from 75-81. Joined the Army after HS and never went back. I don't miss what my city has become I miss what it was. So much potential, pissed away by greed and poor leadership.
Edward Heinze Park is STILL a metro park in Lower Huron area of Michigan where they had MANY Hippie gatherings n free rock concerts on Sat n Sun afternoon n had two areas called the Horseshoe n the Gulley, both where we all gathered n hung out n played music n got to know all different types n ages of people throughout the entire Detroit area where we were free spirits n learned so much from each other out in public meetings, not through a screen of a phone. I LOVE Detroit to this day, and dont understand why people think it is so deteriorated, because it ALWAYS looked like it does now in some area or other, but was a wonderfully exciting place!!!
At 3:41 ... that's Mack Avenue at Holcomb. My family owned a bar right there,. I used to eat at the Chinese restaurant in the background. Most interesting looking Blasian woman was a waitress there. Great lobster foo young.
Thanks 😊 My entire family born and raised. My parents had houses off Alter Rd and Fisher Street just next to Indian Village. My dad's lived Balfour Rd way on the east side. Fond memories of Christmas there. I lived near Jefferson and Burns. I love the city! I'm reminded of an L.L. Cool J lyric ... opening line ... "Don't call it a comeback... I've been here for years!" 😊💪✊️🙏✌️ ruclips.net/video/vimZj8HW0Kg/видео.htmlsi=2VyKyanUiuR7ZG0t
@@Olizimm Somewhat multi-faceted, complex answer. How is every city, town, very rural areas and countries today? May depend on what aspects and who you ask, i.e., different perspectives. All I'll say is I love the city. I spent Fri, Sat and Sun there this past weekend and had a wondeful time. Everyone is really nice. Had a great afternoon Sunday at Belle Isle Park. Had a wondeful time at the Tigers game. The NFL draft is coming in a few weeks. I listened to live music at a small venue Saturday. I have tickets to a big performance this coming weekend. Whether it's the museums, restaurants, biking, festivals, churches, non profits, kayaking, fishing or dozens of others things, it's my favorite city. Neighborhood after neighborhood is being revitalized. There's always been some amazing neighborhoods in the city, e.g., Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, Indian Village. A few excellent universities and health care complexes. More and more big employers. There's likely different opinions than mine, but I spend alot of time in Detroit, all over the city, and love it. 👍✌️
I have been stuck in Mississippi for the last 3 years. This video made me appreciate growing up in Detroit. People here have ZERO idea how much their lives suck!
I grew up first Grosse Pointe in my Father's Aunt Francis' mansion, as she was a classical music composer n piano 🎹 expert n as a baby I actually had a "Mammy", just like the Old South, that I remember being held by and passed to from my Mother on a HUGE panoramic staircase!! My Mother tokd me about Mammy, who LOVED her n I ever so. Then my parents moved to a flat in Detroit on the East side until I was 3, when they purchased their first house in Inkster, Michigan, a suburb outside of the city on the West side, where we lived till 1969, when they purchased their second and last house in Dearborn, Michigan, the home if Ford Motor Co., So taxes were lower there and it was a much sought after location to raise a family in!!! Graduated from Dearborn High School, one of the top ten schools at that time of 1975 in the country!!! I spent tons of time at ALL the Detroit happening places as a kid growing up as my Mom's Mom lived in Detroit till they passed away in the 1980's. Belle Isle was FANTASTIC, as they had beaches on the Detroit River that were awesome for swimming for families, barbecue grills n picnic pavilions n a zoo n the Detroit Symphony Orchestra played on weekend nights to the accompaniment of the colour coordinated waters if the Scott Fountain, where everyone would sit on blankets with wine n snacks n enjoy the show. Then everyone would traverse the Belle Isle Bridge 🌉 to go home at 11 pm. We had the Boblo Boat 🚢 that took ys to Boblo Island Amusement Park from Detroit docks, we had beautiful parks n flower gardens n universities to visit and the infamous 16:09 Heinze Park. an
I had family who went to St Joe's High School. Would have been in the 50s. I think it closed in '64 and was rolled into Brother Rice. Our houses were on Belfour, Fisher, and Alter in those years.
Use to live at 1955 E. Larned in 1956. We were FORCE to move for the construction of Lafayette Park. They coin a phrase called it Urban Renewal. More like screw the poor.
That's quite a history lesson. Not one anyone should experience. My parents lived on Alter, Fisher, Belfour and a few other streets over the years and back them in the 1950s. I lived on Jefferson. The city is going through another major transformation these days.
The most destructive thing to ever happen to Detroit. Coleman A. Young. When I was a boy, Pop would take us many places inside Detroit city limits that I would never travel to today. The places we would go no longer exist and it is far too dangerous for anyone to be at. He worked at Chrysler headquarters in Highland Park until 1980. Other than Tiger Stadium, the only places I would go inside Detroit, while in my early 20's, was a heavy metal bar on Gratiot called TRAXX, between 6 and 7 Mile. That didn't last long. Also on Gratiot there was a comic book store, Comic Kingdom, near 6 mile. The city is a shell of its former self. Not worth going into for any reason.
There are a number of people who vent steam at the name Coleman A. Young, but what I never seem to hear included is specifically what he, in their minds did that was so destructive. He was quite the character indeed, but I see no parallels between Young and the likes of Kwame.
The crack-up had to come, was inevitable. History’s a bitch. Detroit was as racist, as segregated as Birmingham, Alabama, Little Rock, Arkansas, Atlanta, Georgia, etc. “We cannot escape history” as Lincoln said during the Civil War…😔🙏🇱🇷🎩
THE RIOTS OF 1967. TRUMBULL, COMMONWEALTH WERE BEAUTIFUL STREETS. I HAULED STEEL PARTS INTO THE HEAT TREATERS ON COMMWEALTH. CARS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC DON'T NEED HEAT TREATING.
Poor people who had no ownership and were tired of being violently harassed, like today. If you don't know what you're talking about but you're still talking, only another ignorant might buy it
Tearing up the urban fabric of the city to construct freeways while also building suburban enclaves in the city severely destroyed Detroit; not to mention the collusion of the auto makers and government to rip up the streetcars and never invest in a true mass transit system such as subways or elevated rail as in NY and Chicago. Yes Detroit is the birth of the automobile and it brought a tremendous amount of wealth to the city but it’s also the city’s downfall, it led to crony capitalism and greed and very poor economic and urban planning by the city and state leaders! Crime and racial tension are just by products of bigger issues Detroit had fundamentally built in.
Yeah, bricks made of pure shit. The band WAR came out and reissued the great song titled "The World is a Ghetto" and renamed it to a new title: "Detroit is a Getto." And today it's the number one top hit song on the R&B, Soul, and Blues record charts. In a few months, a new album from WAR will be coming out. Its visionary title name is: "Super Fly Mayor Young Pimped Us Like Grand River alley Hoes."
@@rickprusak9326 Detroit finally ran out of other people's money to spend and so the locust plagues spread across the country. Follow the crime maps to see where they went.
So housing discrimination with racial discrimination had nothing to do with the downfall of Detroit! White Detroit in the 50,s 60,s took away much of pursuit of happiness with housing discrimination
Detroit did not "die" in 1967. Stop with your melodrama. Will you people EVER stop defining that City by the year 1967?!! Can you do some actual research and educate yourselves about the COMPLETE HISTORY OF Detroit? Those who were born and raised in Detroit especially in the 1960s and 1970s also have Wonderful memories of growing up there. Detroiters will Always have Love for their City. Period.
I couldn't agree more. The vast vast vast majority of the photos in this videos are positive depictions. I lived, went to school and worked in Detroit as did both my parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Houses on Belfour, Alter, Fisher, etc. I've been all over the world but Detroit is still my favorite city. Sadly, there's problems everywhere but I truly believe for every one problem or crime you can find 100 kind acts. You'll find me biking Jefferson, Woodward, Lafayette etc this weekend taking in the Grand Prix excitement around the Ren Cen, maybe head over to Eastetn Market for the VegFest and grab some delicious food and tunes at Bert's Warehouse. Not sure what else, but I can guarantee, based on experience, there's more fun things to do in Detroit than most other places. Last weeks i nerded out at John King Books, took a ride on the Detroit River on the Diamand Jack or Queen, watched a sunset on Belle Isle, enjoyed good food, etc. For those not interested, that's cool. To each there own 👍 I'd list all the activities and great things that happened in Detroit in the 1970s and 80s but it's too much to list here.
1967 did define the city of Detroit. When you have a bunch of street rat's burning down their neighborhood because the police raided an unlawful after hours drinking establishment disguised as a coming home party, it is no common sense reason to destroy your hood because you're mad at the police. Look at the city today. There are not only signs of 1967 STILL obviously there, but the getto cancer has spread every day and everywhere since. Even the homeless don't live in Detroit anymore. Remember Skid Row around The Masonic Temple? Thanks to Mayor Mike Duggan, his rich millionaire buddies that he proudly plays as their puppet, wiped out Skid Row. It's now known as Illitchville. For you brain dead people that think that Detroit is coming back, just look at this video and others like it. Detroit will NEVER be the beautiful city it once was before the night and days following the summer of 1967. To this day, people are moving out of the waste land of blocks and blocks of empty fields where homes and businesses USED to be. Detroit is just like Beirut, minus the sand. Detroit is like Chernobyl, minus the forever radiation Detroit is like Detroit, unlike other getto cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. Detroit died in 1967 because of getto assholes burning down their own neighborhood. Stupid is as stupid does.
I was born and raised in Detroit in the 1950s and 1960s. And Detroit DID die in 1967 because a bunch of assholes decided to burn a good part of the city because their urban brothas and sistas got busted for being in a blind pig. Yes, the Detroit Police officers were racist, but racism didn't burn down the neighborhood. The assholes who lived there lit the match and tossed the molotov cocktails into black owned homes and businesses. They made themselves homeless because of their STUPIDITY. Even black people moved out of Detroit because they knew the urban assholes would continue to tear down what's left of Detroit. And look at Detroit today. Miles and miles of empty streets, empty buildings, empty future for the remainder of Detroit. Read the real history, not hear the false bullshit the remaining folk who live there. They chose to stay in Detroit because they couldn't afford to move into a better city. A city full of houses and businesses and excellent emergency services. Detroit is a ghetto because the ghetto people living around 12th and Clairmont wanted to make Detroit a bigger getto. Even Motown music artists moved out of Detroit and headed for California. Barry Gordy sold his mansion in the exclusive Boston Edison area of Detroit because the ghetto cancer was surrounding his neighborhood. Barry got the hell out of Motown. That sez quite a lot folks.
The blacks scared the whites away. The businesses they attacked were white businesses along Grand River. It's true that whites discriminated by neighborhood before that. Mayor Alfred Cobo made the tinderbox.
Why don't you show a video of these areas in 2023? More than half of those photo sites are just empty lots, or the buildings are all crapped out and need demolition. Show Detroit as it is today. And not just the downtown area called the land of Oz. Where the little munchkin mayor named Mike Duggan sez follow the yellow brick road down Woodward Ave. to millionaires paradise. The Fox Theatre, Comerica Park (aka Tiger Stadium), and Ford Field (Detroit Lions Stadium). Illitch, Ford & Gilbert Row.

Thank you for this beautiful post ❤ it 😊

I remember it well. The riots, we hippies, the gell and glory that is Detroit.
Such a shame. The riots destroyed that city and young pushed everyone out
-The riots that the citizens started themselves destroyed there very own homes. Brilliant deduction,So now you clowns can just cry in your beer
That's not what happened, but I'm betting you think the election was stolen too 🙄
