A little bit of the happenings in and around the Metro Detroit area, primarily the city of Detroit itself. Lots of videos of Detroit history. Some rare finds(Landmarks under construction, future plans realized and was that Art Tatum playing piano at Gary Grant's beach party!!) You may be surprised at what you might find. Plus some beginning practice sessions as I attempt to follow a lifelong dream of learning to play the saxophone. Much of the music found in these videos are found here on UA-cam. (M. Fasol Productions, Chillhop Music, Sketchboxx, among others). If any artist has issue with their
music being played, please notify me. WEGPUBLISHING Logo designed by CrownVicProductions.com (Kevin O'Rourke). View, subscribe and comment if you please. Thanks.

Couldn't hear you. LoL
@@MacGregor. Too much wind! 😔
16:14 That wood joinery is so awesome to see.
15:16 where was the house built in 1941? 30:10 is that the same house that was being built?
13:06 Grand Blvd was named Grand because it was with beautiful homes, lush trees and pretty landscape.
13:41 Tiger Stadium!
Enjoy!!!
Maybe in the future when the fresh water supply starts running low.
Still loving Detroit, I’ve been living in downtown Detroit since 2004, I just love it here in Lafayette Park, great neighbors, great housing ,tons to do in the city ,its really coming back lovely in the downtown and Midtown areas. Great bikeways and walkways along with entertainment, sports and restaurants, we even have plenty of shopping now too. Looking forward to a brighter future. A great city.
@@manbtm1 hello neighbor. I live in Lafayette Park myself since 2005. Absolutely love it.
@@rickgraham786 hello hello I agree with you 100% I keep thinking I couldn’t have possibly picked a better neighborhood that suits how I love to live.
it has 1/3 the population it use to have. i don't think it's really coming back.
My Schwinn Orange Krate was stolen when we lived Detroit. My Grandma bought me new one. Thanks, Granny. Will always remember her Detroit home
That's sooo Detroit. Grandma is the best.
Yes it was.
🎉Nice!
Good to See u out enjoying Detroit culture Rick, i think thats Cobo Hall behind the band...i saw many big name concerts there in the 60s and 70s....thanku from your friend Ram....Detroit Bred-Cali Fed .
@@ramsnover3599 Glad you are enjoying the videos. U R CORRECT. Cobo now known as Huntington Place is in the background.
Same Koenig Fuel and Supply concrete truck at different angles 3:57 then at 4:02 a Mack AC bulldog
It was once a beautiful prosperous American city.....
I enjoy watching the silent video the way it was suppose to be. Getting sound film as late as the 1970's was so expensive that most people could not afford it. I know because I was a young man at the time.
Go Celtics
Somebody else said this already but the ending is kind of anti-climactic the fact Damian got away with murder is messed up 😯🤦
Zero audio omg i cant take the silence
Very cool!! Enjoy! Thanks for sharing❤️👍
People wore dressy clothes seemingly every day. Even in the Summer they walked around in dress shoes and long slacks. Those short sleeve dress shirts with the cigarette pockets are hideous
In those days you can tell the food was better. In all of these videos you hardly see any large folks.
At the 30:15 mark they are showing really nice homes. People see these videos and wonder what happened to the neighborhoods. Well, these images of homes you see are at a time when there was major investment in the city. The homes were brand new in the 40s and 50s. I don't think Detroit has seen a building campaign for single family homes of that magnitude since. In fact, the city is demolishing homes at a faster rate than they are building.
Actually there's a brand new neighborhood of newly built single family homes that you can help design. Locate 4th Street on Google maps for a look. Thanks for the comment.
@@rickgraham786 Are you talking about thise 3D printed homes?
@@lawrencedaniels555 No, these are normal construction methods. I'll find the link..

Fantastic! I lived most of my life in the Detroit area. I remember many of these places. Thanks for doing this.
And the invasion begins
The park is pretty large, plus we have hawks. Over population is not a problem. Lol
Beautiful yard and cute 🐇 friend. Looks like you have your own slice of heaven there.
It really is!
The modern city without the automobile is not less modern, but better. Henry Ford, the Dodge Brothers, and other car magnates turned Detroit into an auto-dependent town before the 1920s were over and you can see it in the footage of Detroit center just drowning in cars and everybody engulfed in their choking fumes! 🤢
Hope you have a great time ❤
We did...even though they were blown out.
Yessir!
🎉
🎉
People dressed so beautifully back then. We all look like such slobs now compared to then.
Gotta get this one !!!
LET'S GO!!!!!
Happy New Year, Detroit,Rick and family , do you still have the parade on Woodward ave.? like they did when i grew up there 1960 to 1980
Merry Christmas, You,all, from Cali....
👍
Merry Christmas!!
Same to you bro.
Oh yeah !!
Thanks my brother.
Smooth!
Thank you brother.
I was born and raised in Southwest Michigan--Benton Harbor/Saint Joseph--in the 1960s and the funny thing is that I never even heard of Detroit until I was about 14. That is when I heard of Motown and that Motown was in a city named Detroit, which is in Michigan. That was news to me. Here we grow up with Chicago television and that is the only city we know about and make trips to on weekends. I am rather saddened that Detroit has fallen from what was once the wealthiest city in the US (and maybe the world, I hear).
🌉♥️ best city in the United States !!!!!! I never abandoned our detroit
There is a lot of other folks that can't say that.
So basically that teacher and the police got him killed,by getting him out of trouble and leaving the other 2 in jail?!
No....the teacher tried to get Stone and Robert out of jail with a slap on the wrist charge but they had already gotten into too much trouble with the law in the past so the cop the teacher knew couldn't or wouldn't give them a break like Cochise and Preach
The killing was an accident, they happen. They only meant to rough him up.
It’s depressing that what happened to Detroit to the pov of this footage happened. Other cities have made it. However is this the finest vintage footage compilation of Detroit I believe in existence and it is a treasure and I hope more Detroiters see it.
Happy birthday!!
lol … he goes on to write “what’s happening” . his character also dies broke though . well … in real life atleast .
Multicultural in the 20s? African Americans were barely a single percentage point back then. Get your demographic history straight. Even by 1940 blacks were still less than 10%
I didn't say the black population was huge. I said different ethnic groups were represented. If you look at the entire film you will see blacks, whites, Jews, Italians and others...
WTF 🤣 most diverse most cultural city in USA ☦️
At one point long ago, apparently eighty-nine languages were spoken among the residents of Detroit, more than in NYC.
You're absolutely right, grew up in the Delray area 50s thru early 70s
The only "Hash Bash" I remember was that conducted each year (April 1st?) on the Diag of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor..right in front of the Graduate Library. Faculty members were also often seen in the crowd. One could get high just taking a whiff while walking through or past the area! But this was many years ago, late 1960' to 1970's. I haven't been back in decades, and I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that neither the University nor the City of Ann Arbor would play along nowadays.
The university seems to be heavily involved. It was organized rather well in that historic location.
