Me too D! Loved em'.
Many fond memories of the old neighborhood. Amy Joy, Epps, Top Hat, Federals, Monkey Wards...
Went by the old house. What a shame/dump. People just don't give a darn anymore. Our culture has changed for the worse.
I miss Lennys Blues Delixe Cafe, that was right by the Dog House. We would go to Lennys after the bar closed. And drink out of coffee cups, beer, that is!
I have an old copy of Detroit Monthly magazine that contains an excellent article by Ric Bohy about a fight that took place in the Dog House parking lot one night back in '87. Two guys were shot and killed, the shooter [[or maybe shooters) did not get prosecuted. The article does a great job of summarizing the whole tragic incident from the perspective of the victims' families, the procesutor's office, the DPD and the shooters themselves.

I don't get there often anymore but I did have breakfast there on the way to opening day of the auto show...and the food was still great. I still miss the old white exterior, especially where the sign on the side of the building lost the "s" so it said "The Dog House teakburgers".
The Dog House was the best. I went there with my dad from the time I was a kid. The horrible remodel on that building is a crime.
