Did you ever meet someone under the Kern's clock? Catch the Woodward Ave streetcar? Spend a day Christmas shopping at the downtown Hudson's?
Whether you're old enough to remember or too
young to recall, DETROIT REMEMBER WHEN I, as seen on WTVS Channel 56, takes you back in time to experience these and other Detroit traditions that live on in rare film, old photographs and fond memories.
From Briggs Stadium to Bob-Lo, Black Bottom to the Boulevard, this made-in-Detroit documentary captures the spirit of the city in reminiscences of what used to be. Summer days at Belle Isle, Vernor's soda fountain, Jefferson Beach and Edgewater Park are among the sites revisted in footage from Detroit-area family collections and media archives.
DETROIT REMEMBER WHEN II unearths Detroit's history, explores its musical legacy and examines its architecture, politicians, sports legends and landmarks.

More than a nostalgic trip, more than a Detroit history lesson, and more than a profile of Jewish movers and shakers, this documentary traces the roots of Jews from the 1700's with the arrival of the first Jewish fur trader in Detroit and culminates in the importance of Jewish leadership in the political, civil rights, arts, cultural and educational life of the region today. It's a remarkable story that unfolds through archival footage, home videos, historic photographs and entertaining interviews with prominent leaders including Sen. Carl Levin,
Rep. Sander Levin, Joe Nederland, Max Fisher, and many more.
It won the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Best Documentary Award 2009 and was nominated for a Michigan Emmy in the Historical Documentary category.
