Desoto's.
Yes, I remember the fire well. A guy that I DJ'ed with back in the Gangsters days called me when he saw it on the news and we drove down there. I still have the pictures of the remnants. Then when Greg [[the guy who owned the place) moved to Grand River and I worked there for a while but it just wasn't my scene. Didn't he change the name to "Grand River Rock Cafe" or am I thinking of another place?

Thanks for the Desoto's flashback. Couldn't remember the name and never did make it in there.
