I have been wanting to come back to Detroit and ride around and see things. I still plan on doing that. But, I was on Google Earth, and decided to look up some of our past stomping grounds. I am going to share what I found with the Dirty Little Smiff Kids. I am going to put together more, so this is just a start. If you all like seeing things like this, just let me know. I am willing to do the leg work, because I love bopping around Google Earth. Some of the changes are surprising, some of the just the same is not. Have fun.
Remembering playing here lots
I am sure the ground still remembers our feet here
the crib-- it has seen better days
Not surprisingly, weeds book over evil Sandra Jones' house
Buh-nard's an' them's house is being kept up nicely
Funny, the weeds took over the mean-ass Alexander house, too.
out of order, another hidden evil sandra jones house
the roots are trying to bring it down for all of us! lol
The street is clean of trash, at least! Remember all the Pride Clean-Up campaigns?
Remember the cases of Faygo pop?
Marshall Elementary, and a corner of the old H.E.M.I.D.
A backward glance back down the block

Look at all the trees on Russell between Emery and 7 Mile!
Ralph L. Hart's church is still there sucking blood out of turnips

St. Louis the King featuring Martha Jean the Queen
Carrie/7 Mile (old bus route to Law)
the old Marion Law Middle School, gothic and closed off from the public. What is it now?
More Law
It is with mixed emotions that I see these old places. There are many more that I want to see and I am going to put together more Google Earth tours to share.
Love you guys!
