Gratiot Drive-In in Roseville was way out in the boonies back then. The sign is featured on the cover of some authoritative history of Rock 'n Roll.

Cruising Woodward Ave., Belle Isle, The tunnel to Windsor, Cobo, Ford Auditorium. Went to see Pro wresling and saw Dick the Bruiser fight the Sheik at Olympia once. Anybody remember Haystacks Calhoun?

Brand spankin' new neighborhoods of beautiful brick homes were bulldozed to make room for new freeways going every which way beginning around 1957. Monster boat races on the river.
