Detroit: Remember When, Part 1—Motor City Memories and Hometown Traditions

Did you ever meet someone under the Kern’s clock? Catch the Woodward Avenue streetcar? Spend a day Christmas shopping at the downtown Hudson’s? Whether you’re old enough to remember or too young to recall, Detroit Remember When, as seen on WTVS Channel 56, takes you back in time to experience these and other Detroit traditions that live on in rare film, old photographs and fond memories.

From Briggs Stadium to Boblo, Black Bottom to the Boulevard, this made-in-Detroit documentary captures the spirit of the city in reminiscences of what used to be and rememberances of what once was. Summer days at Belle Isle, the Vernor’s soda fountain, Jefferson Beach and Edgewater Park are among the sites revisited in footage and from Detroit-area family collections and media archives.

Detroit Remember When unearths Detroit’s history, explores its musical legacy and examines its architecture, politics, sports legends and landmarks. Like a trolley ride through time, it offers a glance at history, a glimpse of nostalgia and a look back at long-gone days.
