Now, since Somerset, I can nearly relate everything to where Somerset is...Lakeside is kinda off the radar now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1158292580084160802006-09-14T23:56:00.000-04:002006-09-14T23:56:00.000-04:00Perfect, Wayne!

I lived there until I was 12, when my wicked stepfather moved us to Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Lived in the 'hood until I was 8: State Fair between Woodward and John R; and then in north suburban Shelby Township in what were then known as the Apple Grove Apartments, which were located Dequindre between M-59 and Auburn Rd. (specifically 46606 Jonathan Circle - I can't believe I remember that!).<BR/><BR/>So that made us Lakeside mall rats - the originals, as the mall was just going up when we moved to Shelby Township!Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507209482717393854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1158171470194784332006-09-13T14:17:00.000-04:002006-09-13T14:17:00.000-04:00I've never been to Oakland Mall, but that mall pho...I've never been to Oakland Mall, but that mall photo still makes me feel right at home...like I've just popped out of JC Penney with my new terrycloth shirt and Ocean Pacific shorts, ready for a milkshake at Farrell's!

But alas, no better for me, I grew up near Pontiac Mall (now Summit Place Mall) then graduated up to Oakland Mall then Somerset COLLECTION and now live near Twelve Oaks Mall. I laughed when I read this because it is SOOOO true how we refer to places here by which mall is closest. However, I never add the "s" to stores making them Meijers, KMarts, etc.. My boyfriend's brother goes ballistic when people do that!Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397229203481566142noreply@blogger.com
