Southwest D appreciation!

[Raev]

Arandas tire.

Only place I've ever been, where workers had jacks under my car before I was even inside the building. <3 that place.

On a serious note I have to mention American Indian Health and Family Services on Lonyo and Michigan.

I'm in that area every other weekend still, at Renville and McGraw. I'm going to have to pop over there. Isn't that right by the Ford dealership?

When I was a kid we moved around alot in southwest, I remember living on Florida 2 blocks north of McGraw

Isn't that right by what used to be Tarnow Bakery?

[Joey Deadcat]

Aranda's...though, I'm currently in Lincoln Park I still get my tires from there.

Honestly, I don't know . Haven't been there in years other then to drive up or down Mi Ave. I should drive through the neighborhood sometime and see what memories are sparked.

I <3z my SW Detroit.

I <3 my old neighborhood.

I <3 the Ogden store. Grew up on it.

I <3 Telway.

I <3 Supreme Bakery.

I went to Priest, Munger, and Chadsey.

Wow never thought I'd say it but I do miss those schools.

Raev and I grew up on like the exact same street.

If everything wasn't so crappy now, I'd love to be back over there everyday.

It's really sad. </3

And omg Raev, I didn't know you worked at Arbor??

I remember when it was Arbor, before it was CVS and the Block Buster was right next door.

Haha yeah. I worked at Arbor and had a on and off thing with a girl that worked at Blockbuster, so I spent my lunches and breaks there with her.

I was very upset when Chadsey got closed down. I'm still thinking of letting myself into that building to take some pictures.

do any SW natives remember a Hungarian restaurant right on Vernor? it was in a building that looked like iy used to be an auto repair shop. it was family-run, and the food was awesome. only 6 or 7 entrees on the small menu, but it must've all been incredible, 'cause the place was packed. I only went there once - mid '90s - and I don't even recall its name.

[Msterbeau]

First four years of my life were in Allen Park. I would not say I have any love for the place, though. :-P

[DJDeadbeat]

Would love to move to SW Detroit, somewhere near Hubbard Farms would be great.

I just moved back, hoping things don't get out of control during the summer. I am down by Woodmere.

Should I have weaponry when I come see you?

No, just don't stop at any redlights on the way here, though:) Oh, and don't look anyone in the eyes.

Falcon, I can see the cemetery from my house, it's a few houses down.

[Enishi]

Reading this reminded me of when I drove through Del Ray several times at night back in 2008. It felt like I was in Silent Hill.

I want to go back there again sometime, lol.

[darknight1]

I actually miss living there. It's hard to believe I've been out in Colorado for nearly a year.

[KatRN05]

LOL. I think I should go buy a pocket knife.

There is going to be some construction going on in a few schools.

Two Southwest Detroit schools are on the list. Munger and Western.

This thread makes me homesick! I grew up in Southwest on Rathbone. Got my first job when I was 16 at Vince's right there on Homer and Springwells. I was there when they changed Wilson middle to Phoenix Academy, lol they thought a new name could change that school's reputation I think not. I miss looking for my picture and my friends pictures in that lawndale liquor store thats run by a guy named ahmed and his wife, they had the best italian subs ever! Is it even still there? lol I need a trip home to see my friends and family that still live there.

Yep, it's still open I was in there two days ago and I found my pic from like 12 years ago:)
