7 Mile Dogs
Around since the 1970s
"They're rolling dope, running afterhour-joints and blind pigs
They are one of the most dangerous gangs as to size and scope"
Feud between the 7 Mile Dogs and the Schoolcraft Boys
I lived in Detroit from 1963 to 1997. When I resided on
Ashton off 7 Mile Road in the 80s, some friends and I
decided to walk to a record shop located between
the Southfield Freeway Service Drive and Greenfield
As we exited the shop to walk home, we happened into
a gang of men who pointed guns in our faces and said
get out of the area, or a cap was gonna get busted in
our asses
These guys were in a dispute with other individuals,
running around guns in hand, shouting 7 Mile Dogs as
they stormed the night
When I hear about initiation today? I think of this moment
and how close the Dogs were to another jump-in, if in fact
they were into that
I'd like to believe we were spared because we were girls
But
I had this in my face for the first, and hopefully
