I got a 76%. Quiz seemed a little geared to the baby boomer generation (as opposed to simply general Detroit trivia), but it was fun nonetheless. | ||

45/50 - 90% Neato! BTW #32 is wrong - Pistons were at the Silverdome I believe. #41 is technically wrong. Corner of Woodward and Fort is Chase tower. Compuware is at the corner of Woodward and Monroe. | ||

Hey, I got 44/50 or 88%! Not bad for someone who hasn't lived in the Detroit area for 20 years. (Oh boy, maybe I shouldn't have said that. I will get dogged on this board now!) | ||

82% here, but as someone else mentioned in the comments after the quiz (probably Ed Golick), the dance show questions were ALL WRONG! Bring back Robin Seymour! | ||

12 What is the most used greeting of Detroiters? 1. Who you looking at, MF? 2. Got a quarter? 3. Give it up! 4. You have a right to remain silent. | ||

#32 is right. the pistons played at cobo arena before the silverdome, from 1961-1987. before that they played at olympia, from 1957-1961. in 1984-1985 they played 15 games at joe louis arena 'cuz the silverdome's roof collapsed. you are correct about #41 tho; that threw me off as well. don't worry wanderinglady; as long as you've got love for the D i think people won't dog on you too much! welcome to the forum. | ||

Thanks for the welcome, Rsa! Wow, Fury13, 96%?! Curious as to which two you missed! | ||

Waz, Wasn't me who posted about the dance show questions, but 1954's Ed McKenzie's Saturday Dance Party on WXYZ even predates Robin Seymour. | ||
Jan Member Username: Jan Post Number: 32 Registered: 07-2006 |
I got 40/50 for 80%. This so much more about the 80s and 90s in spots. I'm more of the Robin Seymour generation. I used to watch his dance show everyday after school. | ||

I also question #35. Emmanuel Steward's place was previously the 1940 Chophouse, and I don't think it was anything after it shut down. Coco's House of Comedy was further up Jefferson past the Garden Court. | ||

Well, it looks like you know as much about Detroit as you do the auto industry and global economics. |
