My parents grew up on the east side of Detroit and then moved up north when they married. I now work along the Jefferson corridor and find myself in many of the areas they remember growing up. My dad used to fish at the end of Burns Street and when my parents were dating, they used to go for ice cream at Alinosi's ice cream parlor, which you can still find in Detroit - I've even managed to pack it on ice and bring it home to them! I've enjoyed watching the facade of Jefferson avenue change over the past 3 years and can't wait to see what the next 3 years bring!

My Grandparents, my parents, and I all lived on Newport between Mack & Charlevoix. My parents met at the Vanity , the only non-alcoholic dance club in the area! My mother remembered taking the bus to Hudson's, where she worked during the war years. Sadly, most all my touch points are now gone. My block of Newport is mostly demolished, of course Hudson's is gone. Someday I hope to come back for a visit. I hope The East Side is restored. It was a great place to grow up!
