The Detroit of 1972 was a city of sharp edges and deep soul. It was a place where the hum of the assembly lines provided the baseline for our lives, and the air always seemed to carry the faint scent of exhaust and lake water. To a twelve-year-old boy like Jimmy Cass, the city wasn't just a map of streets; it was a minefield of adulthood disguised as a playground.The early seventies were a transitional heartbeat for the Motor City. We lived in the shadow of the '67 riots, navigating a landscape where the music of Motown was beginning to compete with the distorted, heavy riffs of rock and roll.It was an era of transitionwhere the innocence of the previous decade was being traded for a harder, more complex reality. These stories are set in that friction. They are born from the sidewalks and side streets of a neighborhood that demanded you grow up fast or get left behind. While the characters within these pages are a work of fiction, the spirit of the citythe survival, the street conflicts, and the unbreakable bonds formed under the amber glow of the streetlightsis as real as the cracked pavement of the Lodge Freeway. Welcome to Detroit. Watch your step.©2026 RICHARD RAY REDMOND (P)2026 RICHARD RAY REDMOND Historical
