Heaven is a place called Grand Marais Michigan.
Throughout the island, along the road that ran next to the river, you could have a great picnic...picnic tables and bar-b-cues were all over the place. You didn’t have to bring your own bbq, just your own charcoal...I got a ticket for driving on the island without a license, my boyfriend also got a ticket for letting me drive his car...lol he ended up being my husband....i got even with him for letting me get a ticket....everyone in detroit knows about submarine races on the island..
“..everyone in detroit knows about submarine races on the island..”
LOL. We used to go to the submarine races along The Charles River.
.
It wasn’t when I lived there. Southfield was a four lane road with a dividing median strip, with traffic lights at all the major east-west roads, I.e. Plymouth, Schoolcraft, Fenkell. Just west of Southfield was Rosedale Park, a very nice neighborhood.

Looks beautiful-——and REAL.
I love S.C.,it’s a beautiful state,but when my husband and I visited Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island I told him I wanted to leave-—because it was “fake”. I like history and there was none there.
Grand Marais looks like my kind of place.
.
Thank you for this. How very very beautiful.

I grew up on the west side too but you must have been a few years before me because I don’t recall the Conestoga wagons. I grew up on Robson St. between W. Chicago and Plymouth and graduated Mackenzie H.S. in 1957. We used to play hockey on the rain/snow packed street, sometimes it was packed so hard we could skate on it, otherwise we’d skate in our galoshes. Ted Lindsay lived just up the street from me. Detroit was a great place to grow up in those years. You must have been a Redford H.S. grad, or Cooley maybe?
... and I though this one not far from me was cheap considering what it is:

You may have seen glimpses of it during the televised Wyndam Championship golf tournament a few weeks ago.
In other locales, houses worth $1.6m are commonplace and quite comfortable but decidedly less grand.
The navy-blue his and hers USSS wagons parked out back do not come with the house.
But when I move to Detroit, I'm coming with it all . . . and a big, mean ass dog. Heck, I'll just pickup a pitbull or two from a shelter around here.
When are you planning to move there? We hope to be there by this time next year. We just sold a house that was critical to the timing and move. I am elated!!!!
I cannot wait to get my first snowmobile. We'll have you over for dinner and celebrate!
I think you’re optimistic on operating costs.
Close. I went to St. Mary of Redford, between Redford and Cooley, graduated in 1959. My dad graduated from McKenzie back in the 30s. My boys and I played hockey wherever there was the slightest bit of ice. Somehow winter never seemed so bad because as teenage boys, there was always something fun to do, e.g. Tobogganing at Rouge Park. Every time I get together with the guys from the hood or my classmates, we all agree that growing up in Detroit in that era was a very good thing. I’m now living in Palm Beach County, FL.
Me too. I went to St Mary of Redford and I have a pic to prove it.
