Make a point on the map. Right click on the point. A menu will appear. It's the last choice at the bottom (Measure Distance). Choose that and make another point on the map and the distance will appear.
I used to live on Woodward St. Essentially across the street from that site. Then it was a scrap metal yard if I remember correctly. Aces High Pub was around there as well.
Forgot to add that was in the early 90's.
