This caught my attention because it's local and about a block away from where I went to high school.
1913 Mercer is really the subject with everything else just background, but still some cool signage. It's a fugly parking garage now.
If we go back to post #124, I think this gas station I posted there would be around the corner to where the Syracuse Garage was. I also think those buildings above were already gone when this pic was taken, presumably in the late 50's. It's part of that parking garage now.

Ford Iron Mountain plant where wooden body parts and "woody" station wagons were built. More pictures with a short history lesson here: Building Ford Station Wagons at Iron Mountain - The Henry Ford
Ann Arbor mi, Huron at Division, circa 1940, art deco brickwork. That house in the left background is still there. it was built in 1903.
Funny the stuff we recognize.
I was in school there in the late 70's, got my hoopty worked on here back then as it was just a 15 minute walk from my campus dorm (up the street to the left (east) is Michigan's central campus).
my kids there in mid 2000's -- they had better cars.
2019. Was still a Firestone.
