    Snakepit! Yes! That is what I want to see. The homes and neighborhoods of regular people who grew up there. We too use to play football [[American football) in the streets where we lived. Great childhood memories.

    My house and all the surrounding houses were demolished in 1973 or thereabouts. But there are still terraced streets to be found.

    The apartment building we lived in in 1963-64 and where we saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan has been demolished. It was 100 years old when we moved into it in the sixties.

    No, we were on Irving Street in Toledo, Oh then. About 45 miles south of Detroit.
