At 14:32 I worked at that shop on the right. Paint O Rama collision back in the 80's across from Hermans Gardens. We went to that party store every day on lunch, man could I tell you some stories. Thanks for the video Frank
Thanks for the comment.
I haven't lived in Detroit since 1985-its always been home-I am sad to see this but know it will bounce back!!! These were once my hoods-Thanks!! What up doe?
I like the way that you are describing Detroit on this video. As someone who lives a half hour from Detroit, it gives me great pride to hear you detail everything respectfully! It’s another RUclipsr that makes videos like this, and the disgusting racial undertones that he use are literally cringeworthy. I hope you get many subscribers……. You just earned one here 🙋🏽♀️
You past our church on Joy road...its funny, that was me in the grey van in front of you on Joy and sheafer
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I’m on Joy Road often. Where exactly is your church?
Thanks for sharing
It is raining here , it looks and feel like spring. ❤
I grew up on Littlefield by Joy, I noticed that my grade school McFarlane is closed now.
Yes I believe the school is closed now.
You just passed my old house lol

"Secret Factor Fred Is This Many,Many Gone Residents Caused The Homicide Statistic's To Be Down!!!"Still Need Moree People Bring In The Immigrants!!!"More Security And Camera's!!!"
I know this area all too well ..joy and Dexter my old stumping grounds lol
I taught at McFarlane Elementary on Joy Road and Cheyenne from 1990-2010😊😊
I live on Joy in Westland now. I'd move back to Detroit in a second if I could get my childhood home back. Trenton and McGraw. The now yellow house by the billboard sign. I'd have that yellow siding taken off and restore to white.
Use to go to famous pizza close to grandriver and joy. Worked Kingsway Pharmacy at grandriver and greenfield .
Great memories. I went to Mackenzie (C/O ‘93) and skipped school MANY DAYS, eating at Royals on the corner.
I remember those Burgers were Dinner Plate Big!! lol
A lot has changed over the years..
Thanks for the story.
Worked at Greenfields restaurant and took the Crosstown bus to the end with my favorite girl. I was 17 teen. 1962
Use to work at Joy and Grandriver 1981. Woolworth was still there.
❤
Those burger places like the one on Wyoming used to be called Top Hat or Brays
Royals
Yep, I remember that. I think they had a top hat on Michigan Ave. B4 the old tiger stadium area
There is no house iin Detroit that goes for $500.00 or $600.00, You can barely get one for $700.00 so yyou are wrong on that $850.00 or better, yyiu can't even get an apartment fior less then $800.00 any lower you getting getting a ghetto home or apartment
Thought it was cheaper than that. That’s still pretty affordable compared to other parts of America
I drove that route 5 days a week. It breaks my heart ❤️ now. But I could have gave you a better tour . You passed by plenty of places. Where famous people. Grow up . David Ruffin , prairie & Joy rd . Judge Mathis Greenfield & Southfield. Judge Bennie Neopoleon . Smokey Robinson , had relatives that lived on prairie. Seen him quite often, as a child. Good history there .💯
I didn’t know all that. A lot of history.
Worked at Perry Drugs Livernois and 6 mile.
That beauty supply building use to be a bank back in the day. The burger spot on Wyoming use to be called Royals in my time.
That was Royals. Elmer's is on Oakman and West Chicago. I'm a Mackenzie Stag. We hung out at both places.😊
@@stephaniemurria5534 Yep you right, it was Royals. I went to Makenzie for 1 yr.
Thanks for the comment. I never knew that use to be a bank.
Fred I got to tell you right between Joy Road and Tireman and watching your RUclips video it seems that the only thing that's really have right are the streets I suspect you're just reading the signs as you go by so where are you really from
Downriver. Lincoln Park.
Jesse James video: I'm from Joy Road.
Not from there always heard bout joy rd
Wow you passed my street Joy road in Ohio my townhouse sits right behind the school 🙂
Joy and Ohio. I know where that is. Thanks for the comment.
I can't even believe I clicked on this and you were driving thru my old neighborhood and Elementary School! I have no words- Thanks!!!!!
I grew up on the 9100 block of Prairie between Chicago & Joy Rd. That "Dollar Daze" at the 5:09 mark used to be "Food-a-Rama" back in the day. Prairie can be seen at 5:31 mark. I lived one block down from there.I used to go to the dairy queen on Wyoming, off of Joy Rd, just a few steps away from Mckenzie high school. My cousins lived on Mendota, between Joy Rd & Chicago. I'm definitely from Joy Rd. Thanks for posting this.
Jamaican me happy is the spot you talking about very good
Thank you. I will remember now.
I used to live joy rd and grand river back in 2011
I’m around Joy & Grand River maybe 2x a week. Thanks for the comments.
On the corner of Pinehurst and Joy Rd was a club called the Paramount Lounge. Back in the day I hung out in there frequently. Sam Gray the owner, Tiki Joe the cook, Whistle the DJ…
I've recently been checking out Detroit's real estate and came across your videos; they're very enjoyable. What is going on in Detroit? Why is real estate so cheap? There are some nice places for sale over on E. Outer Drive that are very nice looking and very cheap; I don't get it. Is unemployment so bad up there? Have gangs taken over? I would love to hear more about the city. Keep up the great work.
Crime, taxes, failing infrastructure, horrible roads, constant construction, corrupt city officials, oh and did I mention the crime?
Ain't no rent is $500 it $700 $800 $ 900 Dollar 💵💰 high f---k ok house 🏠 mess up is Dexter Linwood ok ok hood be safe
I went to McFarlane right there on ward and joy rd, stayed on Littlefield and Ellis, R.I.P. Michael, Kevin
That’s my childhood area I lived in those apartments on Joy Road and exit now when you coming off Southfield freeway you make that right drive down a few blocks you’ll see the apartments on the left right next to what used to be a daycare gray building only three floors Mr. LEE was our landlord lol that man Jerry curl was strong 💪🏾 😂 my apt was a few blocks down from the murdah mac you didn’t drive all the way down to telegraph you might as well you’re in a car you’ll be all right
Exit 9! 😀
I really like these driving tours.
You mentioned there are more restaurants opening downtown.
When I was last in Detroit 3-years ago,I don't recall seeing any fast food places. Is that still the case?
Merry Christmas and watch yourself out there,Fred.
Thank you. Yes, not a lot of fast food places at all. The restaurants going up now are very nice. Merry Christmas to you too. 😊
That was not a pot hole that was called a railroad
Your a solid mf thanks for the video
Joyrd and sorrento
Way chill video. Detroit is such an epic location near the strait by the lakes and so green. Fun to see what’s going on there as it has been thru so many changes.
Detroit's
Joy Road and Clairmount intertwined in that area near Grand River. We lived at Joy Road and American Street. The streets got all chopped up after I-96 was constructed, and we used to take the Joy Road bus to Northwestern High School, but would have to transfer to the Dexter Bus, at Grand River and East Grand Blvd, or we just walked to the school. So much history in that area.
You passed right by our home on American Street!
We used to shop at the Food-A-Rama, on Livernois and Joy Road. We could walk anywhere during the 60’s and 70’s!
Thanks for sharing this story. ❤️
