Yeah, I was thinking about it earlier. I do know a Scot, but not from the neighborhood. I'm afraid the Lansdowne Swayneys don't ring a bell. My older brothers would probably remember though. | ||

I lived in Austin very briefly. It's a great place to be. It's beautiful down there. I love the restaurants and stuff | ||

I included MacGregor in Detroit still need the photos Identified. What was the name of the KofC counsil? The name of the drug store on 7 and Hayes during the 60-80s still needs to be identified. more later | ||

Someone was asking about a history earlier. I found the following on St. Jude's website. Certainly not exhaustive, but I learned a few things... http://www.stjudedetroit.com/h istory.htm | ||

JC: got the Council name. (not De LaSalle) | ||

Tsomyak: Not sure if you know but from the above website you posted if you click on home you'll find the fan of St. Jude website. If you're not registered in facebook please do...It's a nice and easy way to upload any pictures or memories that you may have of St. Jude | ||

We have really enjoyed living here in Austin as well. We've been here since 1980, and don't plan on vacating any time soon. The restaurants are great, although I would just about kill for a decent Greek place. I must say though the never ending summers are getting a bit old...

I've got a question about the St Jude facebook page. I became a fan. Is there some secret to being able to comment on the pictures? I don't seem to be able to. | ||
Tsomyak Member Username: Tsomyak Post Number: 14 Registered: 04-2008 |
Hmm, I see there are two classes of pictures, those from St Jude and those from "fans". I'm guessing I have to be a friend of the fan in order to comment on their pics? | ||

I was down there in Winter 2003 Feb-May. That year wasn't a never ending summer. There was an ice storm that brought the whole city to its knees in March, I think. I remember laughing that a storm of that magnitude would have slowed Detroit down for about 5 minutes. There were pickup trucks with guys in the back throwing out shovels full of salt and sand. The Austin salt truck. It was so gorgeous in April and May that I just didn't want to leave. The Blue Bonnets and the Paintbrush, as well as the Indian Blanket are just so perfect. I miss seeing that. I went out and drove the Willow City Loop a couple times that spring, as well as driving down to San Antonio twice, and out to Marble Falls a couple times. What a spring. | ||

Tsom, I don't know if you have to friend someone to comment on a pic on the St. Jude site. I'll friend you if you like and then see what happens. | ||

quote: JC: Is that a statement, question, or both? I'll defer to your expertise in the Chatham area. I thought the original Chatham before it became the super market chain was the Chatham Village Market. | ||

JCole, it's funny you mentioned the ice, we actually had some ice this morning. The locals are absolutely clueless as how to drive on the stuff. If at all possible I try to stay off the roads, it just gets too crazy out there. | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1300 Registered: 04-2007 |
JC: Revco it was. I believe it was a Rexall before Revco during the 50s (but let me get back with a more definitive answer) | ||

Did I have the location you were looking for on the Chatam: Washtenaw and Kelly? | ||

Z: no on ques 29 but where was Balkan Bakery? (I really don't know) | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 5066 Registered: 04-2005 |
I don't remember anything on Moross west of Kelly other than duplexes. I do remember someone mentioning The Dutch Shoe Bakery. Is that it? | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 5067 Registered: 04-2005 |
23. The bomb shelter/tunnels | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1304 Registered: 04-2007 |
JC: no on the bomb shelter/tunnels The duplexes on Moross were east of Kelly |
