I bought this book and 'Cruising Woodward Avenue' as conversation starters in case things got too quiet at our first family reunion. We ended up not needing them for that purpose, but they still were fun to look and reminisce....
A wistful reminder for some of us...

Detroit Remembered
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Greatly enjoyed reading this book, which includes many fascinating and rare photographs of Detroit during forty dramatic years. The writing about the city is informative and evocative and filled with local color. One only wishes that that it was even more comprehensive. Much could be said about Detroit in these years, about the automobile industry that made the city world renowned, its captains of industry and labor, its institutions, remarkable churches, theaters, famous restaurants, schools, museums and its many diverse cultures and neighborhods. Still, this is a delightful and valuable introduction to a great city, which I will treasure and refer to time and again.
