Description:
Discussing and sharing stories about the city of Detroit past to present.
I created this community with the hope to bring to light the rich history of Detroit, from its 1701 settlement to the current date.
Please feel free to share snippets or links regarding city history you find interesting, stories of your family that lived or worked in the Detroit area, and photos from around Detroit.
Turn of the century Detroit was a thriving, vibrant, city of industry!
Not to mention, very musically talented.
Let us not forget what the people of the past saw in this place.
General community rules apply:
- treat other members with respect
- if you have a photo-heavy post, please put it behind a cut
