I am from Detroit but only a young 45 years old. I heard about the Motown Review from my dad and a friend's mom who was a Detroit police officer.  I always daydreamed thinking about how cool that would have been if I were 10-15 years older.  I had nostalgia for something that I couldn't be nostalgic about because I wasn't there!  Great post!

@jdyell , wasn't 12th and Clairmont the epicenter of the 68 riots?  There was a lot going on in that neighborhood.  It's depicted in detail in Detroit 1968--the movie from a couple years back.
