http://www.city-data.com/city/ Detroit-Michigan.html VERY interesting. Detroit seems to be getting bashed on their message board, what else is new? | ||

pretty dismal, although many of the pix weren't very current. The Brush Park shots certainly look to be 10+ year old. | ||

^I'd guess the Blvd or West Outer Drive (it's not contiguous) at being the longest. But... Detroit vs. Cleveland? That's an interesting discussion. | ||

Grand River probably the longest street in the state. | ||

Longest street in the city? Outer Drive. Longest contiguous street in the city? 8 Mile Rd. (doesn't W. Outer Dr. enter Dearborn near W. Warren Ave.?) Longest named street in Michigan. Grand River... goes from Harmonie Park to the city limits of Grand Rapids. | ||

umm, what about #12 | ||
Fareastsider Member Username: Fareastsider Post Number: 669 Registered: 08-2006 |
Actually in the city its Seven Mile. I should have been more clear....just in the city limits and border roads didnt count. At least according to the Detroit Almanac. Longest road that continues.....good question! | ||

"At least according to the Detroit Almanac." Is this text still in print? I never bought a copy when I should have back several years ago. | ||

(doesn't W. Outer Dr. enter Dearborn near W. Warren Ave.?) Also, East and West Outer Drive aren't connected. | ||
Fareastsider Member Username: Fareastsider Post Number: 674 Registered: 08-2006 |
Yes it is still in print! I saw it at Barnes and Nobles at Wayne State a week ago | ||

I don't know about 7mile..... You can use http://www.mapmyrun.com to measure distances | ||
Detroitrise Member Username: Detroitrise Post Number: 538 Registered: 09-2007 |
Yep, Grand River (if I recall) goes all the way to Grand Rapids. | ||
Detroitrise Member Username: Detroitrise Post Number: 539 Registered: 09-2007 |
I'd have to vote 7 Mile too. Grand River again would be in the running. |
