Michigan Avenue... Down Memory Lane
:confused:We sold the business around 1978. The new owner Leroy Estrada bought the business and the buildings. They re opened as Leroy's U.S. Star Bar. When we were in business the area was solid with Star Tool & Die Company, US. Trucking Co., Risdon Creamery and International Sausage Company, not to mention Cadillac Motors and Fleetwood. as viable companies employing people in the area. Michigan Avenue from West Grand Blvd. to Old Tigers Stadium was quite a busy area, in fact from Wyoming to Downtown was a happening area! With these companies eventually going out of business, the area really changed. Luckily in the area there still two great Gems: Liles and Higrade's Delicatessan both on Michigan Avenue;);)
Wake up call Midtown Detroit
Yes, I have ben through other parts of the city. We were robbed first hand at gun point. that was over thirty five years ago. I hope you weren't sleeping, things have gotten progressively worse. That's why most of local businesses moved out. My question is, what is it going to take to get business back in these midtown areas of Detroit. I think you know the answer. Some areas like Mexican Town are thriving. :cool:
