The former John Wagner (Wonder Bread Bakery) house on 859 W. Boston.
Did Wagner invent the loaf of bread?
The former Walter Briggs (Briggs Stadium) house on 700 W. Boston.
I think Walter Briggs invented baseball!
The former S. S. Kresge House (K-Mart) at 70 W. Boston. K-Mart wasn't doing so bad back then!
S S Kresge would be turning in his grave if he saw the E-Zone!
The former B. Siegel house (B. Siegel Stores) at 150 W. Boston appears to be for sale.
Are there stores in the E-Zone?
Ossip Gabrilowitsch and his wife lived in this home on 611 W. Boston Boulevard. His wife, Clara, was the daughter of Mark Twain. Ossip became the conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 1918. According to the Detroit Almanac, someone actually found the original manuscript of Mark Twain’s "Tom Sawyer" in the Boston Blvd house.
Thanx to Patrick from the Fab Ruins Forum.
How is this possible?
Another nice home on Boston.

Not everything is screwed up near the E-Zone!

We're east of Woodward so don't go for a walk at all!
