In Hamtramck, ball plays you!

Hamtramck PSA: SUCK IT UP. 

I WAS BEAUTIFUL ONCE…

The tallest living amputee in Hamtramck.

Things you did when you didn’t know what else to do, part two.

BUS STOP BLUES

Well I talk to the window
Cuz I got no friends
I ride the line
Till it dead ends
I hold in my urine
Cuz I got no place to go
And it costs me $10 a ride
That’s why I’m so po’

I got those…..bus stop blues.
Those bus stop blues.
It’s pure human aggravation
taking public transportation

Everyone wave to the ghost in the upper left hand corner. Hello!

fixedsash:

The previous shot of my Grandma mentioned her home at 7428 St. Aubin in Detroit. Well, here it is, or was as the case me be. The address puts it right on the edge of the monster Dodge Main / Poletown Plant. This is probably why she kept this postcard of the plant. Anyway, I’m going to assume that when the factory was expanded in the early 1980s the house was knocked down, that is if it hadn’t been raised already. (If you go to the link of the postcard there is a bit about the history of the plant, the controversial expansion that leveled entire blocks, and the old Jewish cemetery that is now trapped inside the plant’s grounds.) The area sure isn’t much of a neighborhood anymore. 

I haven’t really researched how long the Zabowskis lived in this house, but I can tell you that by the end of the 1920s they had already moved to Mitchell Street. I also know that they spent most the of the teens in Pittsburgh, so I doubt they lived here that long. 

One thing I just noticed is the person on the upper left porch. Now that I’ve seen them up there my eye keeps looking over that way. 

SHO SHOT.
