Re: An interesting photo
That's a nice photo, Dave. I only knew this because I've been "chasing that windmill" for years. Old topo maps are pretty accurate for showing its former route. It pretty much paralleled Oakwood Blvd from present day Melvindale to the MC main in Dearborn. My grandfather hired into Ford Motor Company at that site as a tool and die maker in 1922. He retired as personnel director in 1950. I grew up in Dearborn so I hung around the main and the Village a lot during the NYC/PC days. Constantly getting chased away by the Dearborn cops and RR dicks....just a snot-nosed kid who loved trains.
