Last Thursday after work I went down to the old neighborhood.
It turns out here was a Cinco de Negro celebration going on in the shadows of the Ambassador Bridge that connects Detroit to or Canadian friends to the South.
Bridge is visible above the taco factory. there is a Slingshot if you look close
This is near where my grandfather from Italy set down roots in the USA a hundred years ago after serving in the Italian Navy during WWI. It was a largely Italian neighborhood at the time, but is now a thriving Mexicantown neighborhood that goes for miles from the bridge down Vernor HWY. Gramps' old house was razed in the 60's for I-75.
There were a lot of bikes, but I did not take pics of the owners (never a wize move in certain circles
)
Some of the patches present were the "
Soul Stars", "
Boogie Down Bike Club" (my fav in matching lavendar custom leathers), and the Bergman Riders on some
WILD Ass Customs!
I had so much fun that I had to leave after an hour or two
