COMMENTS
================================
 
David Anderson, St Clair Shores MI
I grew up one mile west of there at Nine Mile and Woodward.
 
Dan Bodak, Los Angeles CA
I see the sign for Como's. I used to go there as a child in the 1950s.
 
Scott Everingham, Livonia
I spent many a dinner hour at Como's at Woodward and 9 Mile.
 
Lori Feret, Madison Heights MI
My dad bought his 1957 Dodge at that Dodge Dealer.
 
Vic Gold, St. Croix
My 45th high school reunion from Oak Park High School was held at Como's Pizza.
 
Ed Golick, Detroit MI
Como's was the giveaway. It's still there.
 
Dave Joseph, Metamora MI
Looking north on Woodward standing at 9 Mile.
I used to go to Como's for pizza after the dances at St. James High School.
 
Mary Beth Kidd, Arlington Heights IL
Como's was the giveaway. When I was in high school that's where we would go for Pizza. Sometimes I still do when I come back for visits.
 
Rick Knight, Troy MI
The center parking gave it away…and the Como's sign.
 
Eva Land, Dearborn Heights MI
We bought a lot of pizza at Como's.
 
John Leaf, Wixom MI
Great photo. That's my wife's old neighborhood.
 
Arnie Leemon, West Bloomfield MI
This one was easy! We still get to Como's every so often!
 
Joe Macksoud, Grosse Pointe Park MI
The Studio Theatre was the give-away clue.
 
Edward Mayer, Tucson AZ
We lived a few miles away from there in Oak Park.
 
John McManamon, New Port Richey FL
Como's Pizza and Rialato Italian Restaurant. Great memories of Ferndale. Thanks!
 
Debra Oliver, Pensacola FL
This would of been about in the mid 1960s. I left Ferndale in 1968 and this is how I remember it. 
 
Ray Pelzer, Eastpointe MI
The Como's restaurant sign was a pretty big tip-off. Now if you want to talk about WHEN the picture was taken, I'd have to say roughly 1963-64
 
Gary Perkett, Center Line MI
I grew up in Ferndale!
 
Sally Pine, Auburn Hills MI
I worked across the street in the box office of the old Radio Theater.
 
Joanie Daniel Price, Colorado Springs CO
Grew up in Ferndale. That is my old neighborhood. Great to see it in your publication.
 
Tony Rodriguez, Roseville MI
I use to come this way from the Big D to go to work. Look at those real cars!
 
David Sandler, Naples FL
Como's was a special Old World Italian place.
 
Susan Shapiro, Orlando FL
Remember Federal's across the street?
 
Patricia Sheren, Bloomfield Township MI
Como's is still there.
 
Roy A Steacy Sr., Clinton Township MI
Something just tells me it is "Fashionable Ferndale."
 
Georgette Verbit, Warren MI
I remember parking in this small area wedged between the north and southbound sides of Woodward, and then worrying about getting hit by a car while attempting to cross over Woodward to go to a bookstore.
 
Bob Weidendorf, Farmington Hills MI
Picture appears to be 1963-64 (lots of 63 Chevys). Had trouble with a one way street, but it is a divided street Woodward in Ferndale. Interesting that
there is a Renault dealership in the distance.
 
Don Weston, Phoenix AZ
The center street parking and Studio Art Theatre were good clues!
 
Bob White, Zushi, Japan
I ate at Como's many times when I was living in Fabulous Ferndale in the 1970s
 
Mike Wills, Birmingham MI
Studio Theater is still there! I bought my 1968 TR250 just down the street.
 
Brian Wilmers, Huntington Woods MI
Como's is still there!
 
Larry Yurek, Fenton MI
Como's great Pizza, and in the back ground the Studio theater, now the Magic Bag, I remember the parking area in the middle of Woodward. Wish it was still there.
 
Mary Zack, Rotonda West FL
I recognized the Comos sign! Used to live on Breckenridge around the block.
