Detroit history buffs will be transfixed by these images, which originally appeared in the pages of Hour Detroit magazine. If you have fond memories of the days when streetcars rumbled through Detroit’s avenues, of shopping downtown at Hudson’s and Kern’s, or spending lazy days on Belle Isle — or even if you’re too young to have experienced the city’s heyday — The Way It Was will transport you to a time when Detroit pulsated with energy.
