This authentic 1970s color photograph captures a sprawling street-level view of Michigan Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, in 1977. Taken from the intersection of Cass Avenue looking west, the image features a vibrant mix of urban life, including two women in period-accurate attire crossing the street and a variety of 1970s vehicles like a green delivery truck. Commercial signs for Avis Car Rental, the Lindell AC bar, and a local bus transportation office line the right side of the thoroughfare. In the far distance, the white upper deck and light towers of historic Tiger Stadium rise above the horizon, anchoring the scene in the city’s sports heritage. This high-resolution scan beautifully preserves the atmosphere and architectural diversity of the Corktown gateway during the late seventies. This digital download is an incredible piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Michigan wall art.
