It is very sad to see how this part of Detroit has fallen down. I grew up in this area and it was a thriving community then, now it looks like a war zone. Most of the landmarks that i knew are gone, i remember that on saturdays all the kids in the neighborhood headed to Harper and VanDyke to the movies either the Eastown or the VanDyke, which was a small theater just around the corner from the Eastown. The Eastown would show the newer movies and the VanDyke the older horror movies,and the VanDykes admission was 11cents, Eastown 25 cents. Does anybody else remember those days.
