Awesome sight! I especially like the pages of postcards of Michigan communities, lighthouses, and the audio/video page. On the community page, the picture labeled Grand Rapids1 is in the 2nd volume of Pictorial History of Michigan, but it's in black & white (with green tint) where it's in colour here. Again awesome sight!

This site is amazing! As a Flint Expatriate, I'm always looking for reminders of the happy times I spent in Michigan. And my mom, who was born in 1930 in Flint, practically grew up in some of the theaters you highlight. For any former or current Flint residents out there, check out www.flintexpats.blogspot.com. And thanks for all the time and effort you put into this site!

Trying to find any info or pics of a place in Tawas MI, might of been called Jump town? They had trampolines, video games, putt-putt, and huge yellow slide. It was knock down, Im guessing the early 80's. Located on US23 on the west of the road south end of Tawas City.

I was thinking it would be a neat addition to add schools to the site. I went to Saint John Lutheran from grade 1 to 8, then to Rochester Adams before fleeing to Detroit & then California. Oakland University was right down the road from where I lived. Before Crittenton Hospital was built, it was surrounded by farmland, the land donated eventually by the Dodge family(Ithink) that built Meadowbrook Hall Mansion. All in little Rochester.

Just found your info on the Blue Sky Drivein Theater! All this time I thought it was the Blue Star, obviously being a kid then, & it had the Blue Stars on the sign!I could have sworn there was a shooting star over the sign, bit it must have been at the drivein where we got foot longs before the show...it was in Pontiac tho. Looking at the swing sets in front of the screen, They were HUGE, and one time I jumped off at the top of a swing and almost knocked myself out! OUCH! I can't imagine swings that dangerous anywhere now either. You can see how big they were by comparing them to the hug screen, even the dimensions of the words & stars on the neon sign amaze me. How fun.It was always a kick to be driving at night on a highway & catch sight of a movie playing on one of those screens too...

I was born in the Soo (Cartwright clan) and left when I was in 2nd grade. I was back 'up home' several times in my youth. The last time I was up there was November of '78 before I got transferred (USN) to the Middle East. Seems like every time I go to the Soo I meet some distant relative. We used to go down to the Soo Locks when my uncles ships would come through and they would toss their money to my grandmother to put in the bank. Can't get that close anymore. I took my wife on a ride through the locks on our honeymoon. She had a blast.

I was a Walled Lake "KID" until age 12. I still see visions of the Walled Lake Drive-In, W.L. Amusement Park, my trip to Dearborn seeing Shelby, Mach I Mustangs being built in 1969. I was always so proud of our Memorial Day Parade. I also attended Decker Elementary & Walled Lake Baptist Church. Does anyone know the location of Barb Fisher ... the last time I saw her she was working at the Big Boy in Walled Lake... that was in August 1976.

Another fond memory of growing up in Rochester, Blue Moon Ice Cream at the Strohs Drive in. I miss it so much I looked online & you can actually order & have it shipped!And having Meadowbrook Hall & theater right down the road was cool too. Saw Sonny & Cher there, my sister saw the Supremes, dad saw Tom Jones. I hope it still rocks, of course now I don't think I'd have to rush the fence with a bunch of fellow hippies to get in!

Great Site! My siblings and I are working on a family heritage book . My aunt informed me that my grandfather, Hector Drouillard (died 1947), in addition to being a window dresser/decorator for Finsterwald's, also assisted in decorating the interior of the Riviera Theater in Detroit. I found your site while looking for info about the theater! You provide great info for us to add to our family history book and my kids were excited to learn about and see what movie theaters used to be like. I'm looking forward to searching for all types of other info and memories. My parents started their family in Dearborn before moving to Farmington where I was born in '63. Our family moved to Denver, NC in '75, but my 4 oldest siblings graduated from Farmington High and I see lots of landmarks and hangouts that they've spoken about over the years. Lived in Farmington Meadows, so if anyone sees this site and remembers any of the Steele kids on Robinwood Rd. send me an email. Love to hear from you or I can pass a message on to Lori, Carolyn, Greg, Debbie or Kim.

Wondering if you might want to get your website added as a link to www.absolutemichigan.com , this is a pretty informative site, but not nearly as FUN and exciting as yours! I tell people about it all of the time. Loved the "new" photos of the "old" Wonderland Mall, the ones from some type of a brochure. I remember my mother (who never learnded to drive) taking me - just the two of us - on a bus to Wonderland for one of my birthdays. We had lunch and I think I got some type of hair cut at the beauty shop at Wards. It was a BIG deal as my mom had five other kids at home. Spending time with just one, was an extreme rarity. My favorite memory of Wonderland Mall was the open-air courtyard at Christmas time. If you were lucky, a light snow might mix with the carols played over the speaker system. Shopping on a babysitter's budget was easy with a Kresege, Woodworth and Cunningham Drug Store to pick from. After high school, I worked at Federal's. I still live in the area, close enough to watch the final demo last summer. I couldn't help wondering if the beautiful mosaic wall located somewhere on the western portion of the mall, could not have been saved and used to enhance a park or someplace of signifigance within Livonia. My daughter, who also enjoyed the photos of the empty mall, said she'd like to see some snapshots inside the mall, BEFORE the last food court was constructed- she said the most recent one did not compare with the previous food court that included more food vendors, such as Taco Bell and Sander's.

Always enjoy checking out the new additions to the website. Keep up the good work! Just an FYI to school kids who may have attended Clear Lake Camp in Battle Creek. Photos are available by visiting the Battle Creek Public School website and clicking on their outdoor education center. www.battlecreekschools.org As a sixth grade student in the Westland portion of the Livonia Public School District we were fortunate to attend a week of camp in the early/wintery part of 1968. It was a fun experience and the photos brought back some great memories. The campground facilities are still available to rent for group retreats or family reunions.

Great site, saw this site glancing through the online Detroit News Paper, WHAT A FANTASTIC SITE. Lived in Walled Lake at 355 Osprey St. up until entering the US Navy in 67. Use to deliver the Pontiac Press in the early 60's, had a total of 104 customers. Also worked at the Lakeside Super Market off of Pontiac Trail next to the Walled Lake Cemetery. Not sure what is in place of the old Market now. Attended grade school at Walled Lake Ele., Junior High School, and Walled Lake Central. Remember going to the Walled Lake Drive Inn- Park, Ship a Hoy-Eastside Beach. Played Little League at Riley Field which has been demolished for years now. Favorite Barber Shop was Riffenberg's (Charlies) So much more to enter but don't want to bore anyone. Now living in Greenville SC.

I was in to 4 part pop vocals, and used to drive into Detroit with Larry Root, meet a couple of black guys there, get 4 qts of beer and Fritos, and sit in my car in vocalize the hits of the day (fav was Little Darlin by the Diamonds). I hung out with Bruce Parnes, Ed Downey, Larry Root, Joe MacIvor, Alvino Ango, and others. I still remember where the cracks in the sidewalk are on Hoffman St (near Hudson). Yeah, right! I am currently living in Phoenix, but plan to move to Santa Monica CA (if I can ever see this house!). Love to hear from anyone from that place and era. Cheers.

We had a cool theater in Rochester called the Hills theater, not to mention Red Knapps Dairy Bar & an A&W & Big Boy Drive ins. We used to go for footlong hot dogs at the Blue Star drive in Pontiac, then to a drive in movie. Knapps is still in Rochester, but does anyone remember the Blue Star in Pontiac? I am going to try to find and send photos of Knapps. What a great site. Oh, yes, my Grandaddy used to take us to "Gay El Rancho " camprounds in Gaylord as kids too....they've changed the name to something elso now. Anyone recognize that place? Would love to hear from anybody who grew up in Rochester & went to St. Johns Lutheran & Adams high in the 60s-70s!

Love the website. Was born in Flint, moved to Louisiana at age 6, and while still a La. resident, attended Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills (1987-91). Visited relatives in Michigan throughout the years. My dad is from Waterford. I ***love*** this site. So many memories! I'm going to refer my dad. This site is great. Thanks so much.

We always wore white to the State Wayne so we would glow in the 70's.

Ah, memories..Since we lived a mile away, my parents took us kids to the Bel Air every friday night..Of course, that was back in the days when cars still had spotlights attached, and the adults would have spotlight wars on the screen before the movie started, while us kids rode the train, and on several special occasions, pony rides..Thanks for some great and long forgotten memories.

Wonderful site! I ran across this when I was doing some research on an old vacation spot named Johnson's Rustic Resort. I have many photos of the lodge and have been in contact with the current owner, but I am trying to find photos of the rest of the resort I used to vacation at as a child. If anybody knows where to find this info, please let me know. I think I will have some photos to share as well. Thanks for taking me back!

Thanks for the great memories. Zilwaukee SpeedWay and my brother-in-law Bob Rabie. The track drew his name or his seat number to drive in a race. He won. Ha Ha. Never forget it.

WOW, a fantastic site that I just found. Grew up in Adrian in the 50's and would love to hear from anyone who was there. Your photos of "4 Corners" which in the center of downtown Adrian brought back many memories. Didn't get to visit Mackinac Island until a couple years ago. Agree it would be nice to have old homes section--have some pics of grandparents house from the 40's. Oh, will send donation to you later today. Thanks. Jim.
