Woodward Avenue. The precise spot where the photo was taken, facing towards east Grand River in the heart of downtown Detroit. To the right, was the J. L. Hudson building. Towering in the background is the historic Merchants Building. The old Singer building, as it was known at the time, is visible on the left. It is the Shinola Hotel today.

Added inside the photo frame is the exact street view (looking up Grand River from Woodward Ave) as it appeared in November 2022. The featured photograph was taken by Detroit Free Press chief photographer Tony Spina during the J. L. Hudson Thanksgiving Day Parade in Downtown Detroit, in November 1963. 60 years ago, today.
