Reckon so but I’d bet you could go to the corner store alone back the without an armed escort. Times have truely changed.
We could roam all over the place,subways and busses included,not so today——you are right.

I grew up in the City of Detroit on the East Side in the ‘’60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s two blocks from Detroit City Airport on Gratiot Avenue. I witnessed the 1967 Riot, and in the time I spent there, it was the greatest experience in that I grew up Street Smart and Savvy. I wouldn’t trade that experience for any material good.
