I remember Nitro, I think it is now a "throw back" club. JL Seagull's still stands, I think - I remember the "lighthouse" it had
Aorta bar was a great place to be on Thursday nights it was oldies night big fun
The Side Door on Telegraph, next to the giant whipped cream cans, was where I had my first date with my now husband.
Played a lot of foosball at the Aorta.
Did I used to go and see Cheap Trick in the mid-70s [[1975-1976) at the Red Carpet, or did I just dream that? Too many Singapore Slings, perhaps? LOL
The Aorta? Heck, I was a regular! Harvey "Motown" Turner played the most spectacular dance music...rock, Motown, you name it......if it was danceable, it got played. Harvey also had a side biz that did security for Harpos. He and I are still in touch via Facebook. Great times!
Clearly my adolescence came too late. Best I came by was The Shelter/St. Andrew's, Bookie's [[on McNichols, but only once, alas), and The Warehouse.
Then again, I still like a lot of the music I was listening to back when.
So far, these are all local hangouts that some knew and some didn't. But were there any really FAMOUS clubs that people elsewhere knew? Maybe some that made TV shows or movies?
Cheeks, at the old Sydney Hill Health Club on 8 Mile East of Schaefer. Around 1972 or 1973. Before my time but it was there.
What was the name of the Studio 54 style disco in Detroit known for not letting news anchor Doris Biscoe in?
This what you're talking about?
