Woodward and gratiot were the 2 massive cruise streets from the early 70s to late 80s... i much preferred gratiot.. but woodward was better for racing.. that's where guys like tom hoover went to test cars.. Telegraph was also used but too far west and not as much fun...
Problem with Gratiot in the 80s was the cops... east detroit (now called eastpointe) cops were complete cunts. But.. turbo blue was cheap and we had a lot of fun :)
