  • Grandma and I sat on the porch while she shared some of her childhood memories of growing up in Detroit Michigan in the early 1950’s.

    Born and raised in Detroit, born in 63' and stayed until 2007. My city always and forever, thru the good and the bad. Moved into the nearby suburbs, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the city. ❤

    Gosh, this reminds me of my childhood…I’m your mom’s age and was born in Dearborn! We lived there till my parents bought a house in Farmington and then later we moved to California when I was about 7 years old.

    It's a great idea to record memories. I enjoyed hearing about the rough, olden days. (rock fights, no health insurance or unemployment benefits) What does Grandma think about the restoration and reopening of Michigan Central Station?
