My name is Lee Rusetzke, my parents and I lived at 12315 East Warren, unit 147, building 301. Our "alley" was directly across from Cupids and Stott and Murphy Ford. We lived in Parkside from 1957 through 1971. Although we were very poor the friendships we made and the memories we have no amount of money could buy.

PARKSIDE WEB SITE UPDATE AUGUST 29, 2011

I have just completed the redesign of the site and photo galleries. I recently received an e-mail from former Parksider Richard Garcia whose brother Bob Garcia played with the Detroit R&B group The Reflections that had the hit "Just Like, Romeo and Juliet' I uploaded it in mp3 format and you can hear it now on our "Dancin' at the Rec" page.

Three additional image galleries were added this past weekend. The images of Manuel Campos, Chuck Willard and Donna Matthews. Also posted are new memories to the "Parkside Memories" section as well as the first entries to our Parkside Memorial page, You can add the names of former Parkside residents by e-mailing them to me at mrlee@mrleeonline.com I would be pleased to honor them on this page.
