Truth, Denby HS had printing? No wonder nobody from that district ever went to Cass Tech. It's all making sense now. jjaba can see it now, dudes with duck tails and pegged pants running Chandler and Price platen letter presses. Just curious, does anybody at Denby know what a pastrami sandwich is? jjaba, CT Class of '59, on the Dexter bus. | ||

ES & J: To tell the truth I don't remember any printing presses at TARland...that doesn't mean that they weren't there...I stayed away from that part of the building...those guys looked dangerous...auto shop, wood shop, etc. "Does anybody know what a pastrami sandwich is?"...you gotta be kiddin' me Jjaba...it was invented on the Eastside!

ES: I'd heard of those ink stained wretches...but never really saw one on the Eastside...I had assumed that we outsourced such tasks to the Westside third world. | ||

GB - that is totally right.....Denby became the pillar of academic excellence.......They moved that program to CT to make room for more academic college bound classes.... | ||

GB - These words( Princeton, chinos, loafers and Madras shirts) were NEVER in J Boys vocabulary.......the westside wus with wingtips......he could have made it at DHS....but chose CT.....how sad for his family......no wonder they moved further west to Sussex. | ||

ES: I think a guy that was in my class at Columbus lived on Glenwood...a couple blocks west of Hayes...Dennis T...he ended up high in the administrative ranks of the DFD...heard from him a couple of months ago. | ||
Eastside61 Member Username: Eastside61 Post Number: 1061 Registered: 07-2006 |
GB - GLENWOOD is in....Glenfield is a no no...... | ||
Goblue Member Username: Goblue Post Number: 1306 Registered: 03-2007 |
ES: Oops...you're right...hard to say where GlenFIELD is located...never heard of it...probably on the westside somewhere...maybe even East Lansing. | ||
Eastside61 Member Username: Eastside61 Post Number: 1065 Registered: 07-2006 |
GB - Glenfield was made up by Jjaba for his actual address when growing up on the eastside that he will deny......I noticed that he has disappeared too..... | ||
Goblue Member Username: Goblue Post Number: 1312 Registered: 03-2007 |
ES: Well...GlenWOOD is a better street...good solid Eastside...Dennis T. lived on it I think...and maybe Martha S., Maryann McF., and maybe Jim M...the latter is also a psychologist. (Message edited by GoBlue on March 04, 2008) | ||

here's a cheap house for sale in the old hood. http://www.hudsonandmarshall.c om/PropertyInformation.asp?pro pertyID=40203&display=14615+Ma pleridge+Street+%2D++Detroit%2 C+Michigan&auctionId=414 | ||

From the number that house would be on the north side of Mapleridge a couple of houses east of Celestine...that was once a solid working class neighborhood...that picture is incredibly sad to see. ES and I have facetiously talked about buying the area bordered on the west by Chalmers, on the east by Hayes, north by Seven Mile, and South by Six Mile...that would have to be probably 3/4's of a square mile...probably could get the whole thing for $100K-$200K. I wonder about all of those houses that have been bulldozed into their basements...it seems to me that as all of that rubble settles and decays that thousands of ponds of standing stagnant water will have been created...great places to grow West Nile carrying mosquitos. Anyone have any thoughts about that? | ||
Lefty2 Member Username: Lefty2 Post Number: 1354 Registered: 07-2007 |
I was gonna say the whole area would be good to buy wholesale and redevelop, maybe. Yeah it's a bug breeding ground with roofs gone and all. I don't know about Nile stats, probably hmmmm | ||
Goblue Member Username: Goblue Post Number: 1323 Registered: 03-2007 |
Yeah, a real big maybe on buying that area...it would probably cost more to level what is left than to buy it. Our house on Fordham didn't have a basement...just a crawl space...but all of the neighbors did...looking at Google Earthwatch most of the homes have been cleared and the basements filled...I'm assuming that they just bulldozed the rubble into them...can't imagine that they would go to the cost of hauling in fill dirt...and even if they did it will settle and create pools. What a mess! Well...they rebuilt Berlin and Dresden after WWII...so I guess anything is possible. | ||

L and GB - That house looks exactly like the one my parents owned between Salter and Morang.....it was an a 40' x 100' lot.....basement too. Gb has it right....and great working class neighborhood that became a model for WW II Dresden - Berlin - Hamburg films......NO JOBS in MI at this time makes for hard times if one were to try redevelopment..... | ||

And its not just the Eastside...a friend in A2 bought a house last fall for something like $380K that the seller had bought less than a year earlier for $510K...Pfizer pulling out killed the market...even with the company picking up $100K of the difference the guy still lost serious real money...not just a number on a brokerage sheet. | ||
