So I was driving up woodward to ferndale the other night. I was in somewhat of a shady area, and I saw this neon blue sign on the right hand side. I think it might have said "IVY" or something like that. As I drove by, I caught a glimpse of this elaborate garden party. Seemed almost like the whitney. Everyone was dressed up, nice atmosphere etc. Can any one help me id it?
Ldv.......
North of 6 Mile, on the east side of the street? Is it possible the sign said "ldv"?Quote:

That's got to be it. It used to be a gay place called Salute's. Peter Mell opened it. Peter now owns a resturant in Ferndale called Peter's something. Great place to eat.
Matteo from Il Posto just made the move to Dolce Vita. Apparently the guys who also owned Pi have decided Il Posto is not ever going to be what it was, and have sold it to some Albanian who is making it into a 'Disco' Yeah, that's gonna end ell. Pi is staggering along and Matteo seems happier at Dolce.
Have to check out that garden party there, since the 'New' Whitney garden parties sucketh mightily now. Last summer was a complete joke. Bands sucked, food sucked and the drinkies were sucky.
Oh, great. Thanks for clearing up that mystery. I was driving on Woodward and saw something there and didn't care to circle around and actually look at it. Now I know what's there and never have to actually investigate.
A few other questions:
Didn't there used to be streetcars in Detroit? I thought I saw some tracks sticking out of the road.
Has anybody thought of doing anything with the old train station?
What is the building off of I-75 between Eight Mile and Mack. It's big and it says something like "Russel's Center" or something.
I was at Comerica Park and I saw some old empty building. What's it called?

There is too much sarcasm in that email for me to know who you are making fun of.Quote:

I'm not making fun of anybody in particular. I do it less than I used to, but from time to time I'll make fun of a few things on this board, viz. how people do tend to post the same questions and to post questions that a little bit of searching would answer. Anyway, no offense meant. :D
You should do it more. Offending people is fun.Quote:
