Urban explorers, photograph Phelps Lounge before it is gone

[detroitbob66]

Music lovers and Urban explorers, the front door of the Phelps Lounge has been broken into. BB King played there. George Clinton turned the Parliments into the Funkadelics there. The building is on Oakland Ave just N of Holbrook. Get your cameras and go exploring and maybe save a little history. The building has been locked up tight for 40 years. Although, even 10 years ago old man Phelps used to go in there once a week on Saturday to check it out. I did walk into the entrance. It was a mess inside. Lots of water damanger. Plaster just about all gone. The rounded, wavy bar was still there down all one side of the building. Some of its table top thrown to the side. The rounded ceiling ouline followed its outline in a way popular in the '40's & 50's.

Hey Rick...Thanks for the tip...Im gonna go check it out tomorrow

Don't post this stuff on here. Some people are going to have a fit and bitch, and then word is going to get around and a bunch of ...... bags are going to start going there. Ever hear of keeping a hobby a little more underground and on the down-low?
