I was born in Detroit in 1946 and was raised in a house near the vicinity of Woodward and State Fair Avenue. It was a middle class neighborhood with the houses being built in the 1930's - 1940's. I remember my dad would give me a dime (mercury) or sometimes a quarter (real silver) to go to the candy store and get myself an ice cream. I'm sure its probably a pretty tough area now. There was the Michigan State Fair location, a bowling alley, local bars, grocery stores, candy stores, butcher shops, grade school, all within blocks. I'm sure I lost coins and stuff on my street and there were a lot of kids like me. I lived in the house for 8 years then moved towards Mound Road and Outer Drive (don't know if that's east or west).
I recently viewed from Google Earth the neighborhood and found that the house I lived in was still standing, but it seems like only 1 of 4 or 5 homes still stand.
It seems to me that the first house area would be a GREAT place to MD.
If you have detected in Detroit, let me know. Who knows, I just may go back there to do my own MD.
