What street did Eminem (Marshall Mathers) grow up on on 8 mile?
I believe he grew up in the east-side suburbs of Detroit (Clinton Township or Mt. Clemens, maybe). Eight Mile (also known as Baseline Road) refers to the boundary between the city of Detroit and its northern suburbs in Oakland and Macomb Counties. The road has long served as a cultural dividing line between the predominantly African-American city and its mostly white suburbs. I like to think this line has blurred a bit over the past few years.
