1917 - the year my dad was born (albeit in New York city). Ah yes, brings back memories of those neighborhood polo matches we all grew up playing and watching (ha ha). Evel Knievel, eat your heart out, though it looks like the track was a bit muddy that day. The precursor to the X games? As Gary said, Interesting footage - thanks for posting. | ||

"Hey Ray, did you ever pull a car over like that??" Naw, I always felt running boards were dangerous. Too narrow. I used to jump into the rumble seat. | ||

Hey, I think this was the same prison Belle Starr was sent to, opened near the Eastern Market. It was south of the cemetery, running along Russell Street, North of Alfred. Old Detroit House Of Correcton 1861-1922 | ||

Quite interesting. It's amazing to see how rural so much of the metro area still was. |
