Dennis, I grew up on the west side of town, 7 Mile & Evergreen area. 19 area code. There was a shopping center on that corner just like yours. Cunningham's, Kressege and Sander's with great hot fudge Sundays. Bushie's Hardware at 7 Mile and Westbrook was our closest train store, but that was for Christmas only. I know my dad bought some of our train items at Piedmont Jewelry and Appliance on Joy rd. near Southfield rd. Besides a trip to Hudson's I always looked forward to our yearly trip to the Ford Rotunda. Loved seeing the fabulous Christmas scenes and trains layouts.The Rotunda burned down in 1962 just before Christmas. It was disappointing that it wasn't there to take my kids to.I read once that Henry Ford II regretted that he did not rebuild it. Time for a Vernor's Azgary
