I'm sure the St. Hedwig bowling alley is being used for classrooms now. I have a feeling that the maple and pine used for the alley are still there though, just not a functional bowling alley. I...
St. Hedwig had a bowling alley? Very interesting...
Ralph's Picture Bar, Cruise Inn, Milo's Sugar Shack, K-Andy's, Mel's, Kaysas, Dorthy's Sidetrack Saloon.
Every bar seemed to have its own identity and its own "regulars"
Ahhh, the memories.
Used to drink Altes on tap at Ralphs Picture Bar on W Vernor just east of Central in sw back in the 80's. $3.00 a pitcher. What a deal!
Building that is boarded up on the Vernor side of the Detroit Cristo Rey / Holy Redeemer campus is the auditorium. Not sure why its boarded up.

Very interesting that Newberry Street and McMillan Street are residential streets that run parallel in southwest Detroit. Nice tip of the hat by the City of Detroit for these turn of the century...
So CKE, because of your description of your father’s office, I am not sure if the door is from his office?
Perhaps your uncle Melvyn Eder had an office in southwest Detroit then relocated his...
Ahem, not to threadjack here....but what the heck is this towering orange structure on W. Vernor Hwy? I believe that it was built under Mayor Coleman A. Young’s watch in the 1970’s. It’s a little...

Greetings CKE and welcome.
So what are the chances that there were two Dr. Eder's on good ol’ Vernor Hwy?
The door was taken off the hinges by yours truly during the rehab of the...
Nice find regarding Dr. Melvyn Eder Maof.

I’m pretty sure that the dentist office would have been above the funeral home around the 5600 block of Vernor.
I've had the door in my possession for about ten years now. As a junior hoarder I do feel somewhat attached to it, however, deep down I believe that fair is fair and it rightfully should go to the...
Zooming in on the picture doesn’t do the door or Doc any justice. I shall take a closer picture of the lettering in my daily travels today and post later. The door is in GREAT shape btw.
TY Zacha341! I’ve been creepin’ this site for years. I’m a native sw Detroiter, so I figured why not chime in once in a while. From the cheap seats of course...
I salvaged this vintage door from an abandoned upstairs storefront on W Vernor Hwy near Holy Redeemer. Any recollection of Dr. Eder?
