I was born in Detroit and grew up at 6 Mile and Livernois. The early 60’s was a boom time to be a kid. Detroit was a powerhouse.

Crime killed Detroit, not the Japanese. The city never recovered from the 1967 riots despite the marketing campaign of the Renaissance Center...sad.

I remember Detroit a little. My mom, now 95, grew up there and we didn’t leave until she was in her early forties. She tells me wonderful stories, and she still deeply yearns for it as it was.
