Riverside & Ouellette – 1978

Today’s post is another vintage Newspaper photo. This one was shot by a photographer named “Tines”. A quick check on the Google, shows that a Charles V. Tines, is a staff photographer for the Detroit News, I wonder if it’s the same guy?

The photo was taken July 4, 1978 from the foot of Ouellette in Dieppe Park, looking south up towards Riverside Drive. The Norwich Block, and the TD Bank can be seen in the background.

An interesting snapshot in time, and amazing how much traffic was downtown, now the traffic at that intersection is a pittance compared to this photo.
