Left Detroit at 9 came back when I was 13 for a visit that was in 71 my old neighborhood off of Hayes and Alberta in East Detroit where I lived. It was a great neighborhood back in the day Irish, German ,Italians and polls. Two things I miss the most living on the West Coast White Castle hamburgers and Cloverleaf pizza. Thanks for posting your video

It's "Poles" thank you very much. Yep, after moving from Conner and Gratiot near the city airport, we move to 12 and Gratiot. That's where I would pick up my papers from the Free Press route, kitty corner from Top Hat.

I lived off 7 mi Rd first house on Fenelon 18890. Between Mound and Ryan. My mom lived on the other side of 7 mi Rd. On Conley. It must of been like country in 1922. She told me people had goats, sheep .all the roads were dirt. Then lived on Runyon off 7 mi Rd. Off Hoover. What gets me is I cannot take my kids, grandkids around there to show them where their mom and grandma lived. I can take them to St Clair Shores to see where their dad was raised. He is deceased. That is so hard to take.

I lived on Goulburn between Eastwood and Linhurst from 1970 to 1986. I was born in 1966.You must be of a different generation because I don't know any of the former residents you mention in your video. Vince's part store still there--amazing. At Goulburn and 7 mile on the left corner was a bakery with big windows, as you said, called Oaza Bakery. On the right side was a Church's Fried Chicken.

T.K. Scott; u look very familiar 2 me. Didn't u once work @ Models & Tools (when they were loc8d in Troy on Maple Rd.)? If so, u should remember me; I'm Billy Bandyk (a.k.a.: B.J. Banditt); I was the sweeper (a.k.a.: janitor) from 10/1994-10/1995. The Hubert family owned & oper8d the facility. I luved drinking my beer & saying "Pubert" as I was doin' my job. @ that time, u worked @ M & T as a fixture builder while pursuing ur music career. Remember the Ellis brothers (Ron & Pete)? How about Bob Klinkhamer, Tim Kubiak, the Abbott brothers (Jim & Ken) & Dennis Lavergne (amongst notables)? When John Hubert had a 1/2 barrel of Bud @ the 1994 Christmas Party, I got "blitzed" during that party while enjoying some "liquid dinner". Again; u look very familiar 2 me.

It doesn’t look horrible, just not white I’m sure. white flight did happen, jobs lost, all facts that impacted the area. crime or race play a part, but not the main reason.. balance it out folks.. neighborhood still looks ok but definitely needs some TLC and the city is reclaiming space which is also retracting the city.. makes sense..
