People on my dad’s side lived there. Many worked for Ford in the administration and on the assembly line. They left after the riots in ‘68.
Good for your Dad and likewise everyone else who left.
I was the last of my Family to leave Dearborn in 1979.
I remember those Riots well, - our City Mayor had water-cooled machine guns set up in Garbage trucks with the side doors open. “I remember the newspaper quote from the Mayor...”If they come this way ....start shooting., “I’ll take care of the paperwork””.
Detroit was a great town with beautiful Historic buildings and Churches now,......all a wasteland.
Time was that the Ford Rouge employed over 110,000 people.
I went last summer to a Rouge Plant tour with my brother and sister when we did a Family Reunion. It’s so sad, - all my relatives have left Detroit Metro Area.
Time was.........If you could’t get a job in Detroit....than you just couldn’t get a job period. Too bad the Libs have ruined one of the greatest cities of all time.
