Small World

I was browsing through a skyscraper forum and found this picture of M-6 south of Grand Rapids, among others, taken by Adrian Leskiw about a month ago.



The sign on the left is for Southwood Village in Cutlerville, where I lived for 6 years. I used to wash my clothes at the laundromat where the new eastbound lane is.



Also in the archive: the 68th St exit where I managed a gas station, the 54th St overpass where I abandoned my '91 VW Fox (had to walk a mile to get to a Meijer Shifty Takers I could have hit with a rock from the car), and the Franklin St overpass where I changed a flat tire in the breakdown lane once. Creepy!

I think there was a pet shop and a Hallmark store in that strip mall when I lived there. Besides the strip mall, there were 2 gas stations, 2 banks and a discount supermarket.

Was Downtown Cutlerville on Division before the widening? Division being one of the oldest streets in Kent County, the area must have had character at one time. What other shops did I miss?
