$35M in new investments revive Warren/Cadieux Neighborhood

[takascar]

This is where I grew up! The Alger Theatre is where I first saw a movie in a theatre. Drove by the area the other evening and saw so many changes along E. Warren. I will try to get back over there to look more closely at what's happening for the betterment of the neighborhood.

Me too - Bedford and Munich - went to Clark [[which they are closing soon :[[) for K-7 and St. Matthew's for 8th grade and Notre Dame HW for high school.

The last movie I saw at the Alger was some comedy where some couples were in in a hotel room that somehow got set on fire when someone smashed the TV set. Still don't remember the name of the film - was in the mid-70's - 1976 maybe. Still can't remember the name of that film.

Talk of movie theaters causes me to think about how few there are in the city compared to when I was born in 1946. By the mid 50s when I was permitted to go to neighborhood theaters by myself or with other kids, there were still quite a few, but the decline had already begun. This is a listing of Detroit movie houses in May of 1946.
