  2. I vaguely remember this area. My grandparents lived near-ish to here; I think one of my great-uncles worked at an auto factory in Highland. When the factories left, no jobs, no future.

  3. Some of those houses would have gorgeous back in their time. How sad :(

  4. Crumbling houses aside, it's a pretty area. Would have been fun as a kid, hiking and stomping around the woods....

  5. When Gramps died and we were looking to sell their house, there was a big story about Highland Park's unpaid electric bill. One of the power companies came in and was pulling up poles right outta the ground..

  6. This area had gotten hammered by tornadoes since the 50s; probably contributed to some of the decline

  29. They were good people. As poor as they were==poor as church mice, literally==they opened their home and fed any one in need. The church never got enough in offerings to pay the electric or anything but Pastor and Sister Thelma paid out of their own pocket to keep the doors open. Lord rest them both.
