Posted by our local (Wayne, MI) historical society this morning. Dated in the 'teens, north side of Michigan Ave.

Very cool.

Here's a rough clean-up, in case it's of interest for you to post back:

The front end at viewer's far right is a model 32 Hupmobile, 1914 or likely earlier (gas headlamps). The other four all appear to be model Ts. A 1912 touring, a roadster with the turtle deck removed, and the others could be anywhere from 1911 through 1914.

Luke,
Thanks for the cleanup!

Wayne,
Thanks for the ID on the cars. The T in the middle reminds of Steve's. Maybe I should have him park there when he comes for OCF for a 'then and now'. :)

If this is the same block it's been drastically changed.
The inevitable often happens.

Unfortunately, it is. Wayne went through an 'urban renewal' during the late '60s that gutted it's 'small town' feel... and soul.

That's why Michigan Ave is split east and westbound now.
