Sorry for the correction but I feel it's needed. 8 Mile is the border between the city of Detroit and the North suburbs not where they cruised cars in the 50s and 60s that was Woodward the street you were on when you were at Woodlawn cemetery. Also where John DeLorean would take his GTO on Woodward and basically started the muscle car generation And every August they have a tribute (name) the Woodward Cruise. 8 Mile is famous because Eminem named his movie after the street
@DetroitJohn2117 I was aware of Woodard but there is a famous black car popular for drag racing on 8 mile So 🤷♂️. Not a resident myself. I also saw that 9 mile was where most the car meets happened. Ive also heard about some road out near the airport. Im guessing its like kentucky in the 50s-60s and any place there was a good 1/4 stretch someone raced on it.
@@jeffreyrigged yes throughout the years there has been many different roads used for drag racing at one time French rd by the City airport was pretty popular. My parents generation(in Detroit) 50s and 60s Woodward was used for cruising. My generation late 70s and early 80s Gratiot avenue was the popular cruising spot. Which also has a once a year called the Gratiot Cruise last weekend was the Woodward Cruise this year my opinion 80% every day driving cars 20% old school / custom cars. Thank you for responding It was nice chatting with you 👍
@@DetroitJohn217 Thanks for the comments and watching. I am planning to do a bigger video on the car history in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by detroit and all its history. Alot of people like to down the city. I will mention the woodward cruise/drag connection as well next time I do. It will probably be a year or so and we are planning on taking a revival car up there. I only had 2 days during this trip so alot of the city I couldnt cover. Thanks for checking it out.
@@ricosally6734 I mean folks hate most places they lived a long time. Still can find beauty anywhere. Especially if it's not what you look at daily. Thanks for watching.
@ricosally6734 well in example people who grew up at the beach usually hate beaches. I'm saying you may hate it while other people may not. Is it where I would like to live no, however I did enjoy visiting.
@ricosally6734 so I'm not allowed to enjoy the city as a visit because im not a resident? Totally confused. I understand you don't like it and that's fine. I don't like chocolate cake but I'm not going to stop you from eating it.

You should go back up during the Woodward Dream Cruise and Back to the Bricks in Flint.
