Drops Match In Gas Tank; 2 Boys Hurt

Detroit Free Press , October 28, 1963 I'm not going to venture a guess at what became of Hubert Jackson of 32762 Missaukee in Nankin but if he took many more risks like the one he took in late October of 1963 he probably didn't live a very fortuitous life. That risk being dropping a lit match into the gas tank of an abandoned truck in the woods at the corner of Venoy and Glenwood. The truck exploded giving him facial burns and causing his younger brother Gary to require first aid. A friend, Terry Coffey, 10, also of 32873 Mecosta, Nankin, was unhurt. Hubert was taken to Wayne County General Hospital for treatment.

Little Caesar's Pizza Treat

Somebody is selling this reproduction photo of an actual postcard of a Little Caesar's Pizza Treat store in Garden City that looks to be from the 1960s. After being successful with his first few stores, including the first in Garden City in 1959, Mile Illitch began franchising the Little Caesars brand in the early 1960s, expanding to norther Ohio and Indiana in 1963. It was the original store and operated until 2018. Detroit Free Press , October 11, 1963
