When they labeled a certain Eastside Detroit neighborhood, where my grandfather grew up, West Village, I wondered where they were talking about.

North End...okay, it was the North End 150 years ago. Northwest Goldberg. Closer to the River than 8 Mile, closer to center of the city than Telegraph, and who the hell is Goldberg? But anyway... When I lived off Junction I told people it was West West Corktown Shores. If people continued to question me, I'd say it was just east of East Dearborn Meadows.

I can picture the characters—you painted a vivid picture. I can sort of picture the neighborhood, too. Nice story. Evocative.

Thanks. It really grew from the original concept.
