Ancestral Images: Hamtramck, Michigan
My father, child of Polish immigrants was born in Hamtramck, Michigan. My grandparents ran a bar there in the 1940′s. I am in the middle of writing an story about my family and I began to wonder if images of that bar still existed. I found many, so I’ll have to check with my aunt to see if she remembers the exact name of the bar. Meanwhile, I found this video of archival footage of Hamtramck on youtube:
It’s strange and wonderful to see these images and to imagine my grandparents as a part of this world.
