Gotta question.....
...where was the location of the Algiers Hotel?
It was on Virginia Park right off Woodward, between Euclid and Seward.

When you zoom up at the park-like location, you will see how Virginia Park was rerouted to Seward.

Algiers Motel, not hotel, 8301 Woodward.
Why does it seem like those two photos are different motels?
Am I correct in thinking that a new book is about to be published concerning the
Algiers Motel killings during the 1967 violence?
I don't know about a book, but there's a movie coming out. John Hershey's book was written shortly after the riots and was a fairly good account. I'm sure there are facts known now that either weren't known then or weren't released back then. It was a really bad time and that incident was horrible, for the victims, the City and the Police Department.
