I had been waiting for some info from my brother, but have given up, so here goes about the Detroit disturbance of '67...
Our family was having its yearly trip to visit my grandparents on the North Fork of Long Island--about 75 miles east of New York City. Television and radio reception were never good, though WJR did come in fairly well at night, and basically if you wanted news of someplace other than New York CIty, you were out of luck. As a result, a visit there was usually accompanied by a lack of news. Things changed a bit when we arrived at church that Sunday morning, as we were greeted with numerous relatives of many kinds telling us what was happening in Detroit. How far did we live from there? What did we know of the situation? It did cause a great deal of worry, as we were leaving in the next day or so and would be returning home using I-75 to get back to Utica. With all of the reports and imaginings, it was with some fear as we approached Detroit--and than basically nothing--no visible smoke or fires from the expressway, nor sight of the National Guard either. It was the local newspapers, television, and radio stations that got us caught up when we arrived home.
Hope this works for you. It wasn't just news you didn't get, teams other than the Yankees didn't exist either!
