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.

Years ago, wife and I and another couple sailed on an Interlake steamer from Two Harbors to Rouge Steel. It was 4th of July weekend but still chilly out on the big lake but Interlake treated us to more food and drink than we could consume.
We arrived at Rouge the morning of the third day and asked Ford security to call us a cab to the airport.
The cabby showed up and as he opened the trunk for our bags, I noticed he had a gigantic Philippine bolo knife strapped to his leg.
"Why the big knife ?" I asked.
"They took my gun permit after the last cab-jacking," was his reply...
