RE: Where were you residing at the time?
Trumbull at W. Edsel Ford Service Drive.
Extremely low rent. A little outside campus of Wayne State University.
My A&P (only market for maybe 2 miles) was on national news as a burned out husk with electrical cables hanging from the ceiling and all the interior totally charred after a firebombing.
About two minutes walk away the rock group MC5 musician was arrested by the FBI for having a telescope on the roof, which he used to look at the planets. Feds accused him of spotting police locations to tell the Black Panthers. Laughably absurd.
National Guard guy with a rifle at 45 degree angle rode on the running board of our mail truck for guys like me to deliver campus mail. “Watch for snipers above you. I am serious. Keep watching as you deliver.”
That is amazing.
And really blew me away.Thank you for those stories.
I was in grade school in Lincoln Park.
On Fort Park boulevard. Near St Henry’s church and school, which I attended. Both are shut down now.
