^ So that means Taco Bell will have ended up occupying FOUR different spots in the mall? Strange.

My apologies for not catching up sooner. I thought this thread had gone dead in December and didn't pay attention to it afterward. I believe I have caught up with everything posted here since. Keep...

I noticed that the Clique restaurant attached to the Shorecrest Motor Inn on Jefferson is recycling an old Denny's sign. Was it ever actually a Denny's though?

^ They're booked up. How's the Shorecrest Motor Inn?

Wheel of Fortune is holding auditions at Chene Park on May 30 and 31.

I've been going to auditions for years in the hopes of getting...

Matt: I added the Sbarros because the chain filed for bankruptcy and closed a lot of locations. I just went by the ones that were no longer on the store locator.

^ Finally got around to adding those.

Didn't catch that the Arby's on 14 Mile in Sterling Heights was Wendy's first. Looks like Arby's wasn't there long, because Loopnet still has it as a Wendy's...

^ Turns out Angelfire was having some sitewide issues. I'm back now.

I'm having some problems with Angelfire right now. It says my password is invalid, but when I click "forgot password" and enter my username, it tells me the username doesn't exist. Weird.

So there was a Big Boy in the hospital?

Looks a little "off" to me. There was a drive-in restaurant here in the 50s, so the building may date back that far.

You sure on this one? I've found no proof of one in Southfield.




Again, I can't prove these. I have one at 3750 Woodward — this would mean there would be three within a one mile block of...

So far I'm not getting much either way. A 1991 listing on Google Books says that it had a salad bar, which I'm pretty sure was never a feature of the chain. Also, there was a non-chain Country...

The snippets are all I need. But the 1990 hit for a McDonald's at 205 W. Congress actually came from this. I'll have to hit the U of M library again soon and peruse their collection, as I gathered a...

About time they got something to replace the Crowley's. I thought that JCPenney jumped the gun by opening a standalone store across the street — if they had waited a bit more, they could've taken...

Are you sure this was a Little Caesars? It comes up as Big Boy in 1966.




Are you sure on the address? They had one downtown in a nonstandard building?

Surprisingly I found another picture that gives the exact address.

I swear it was there in 2004.



I forget, which one was Troy again?



Again, which two?

Looks like it was Schlotzsky's.



Charlotte Russe is huge. I would bet that they actually took both the former County Seat and former Taco Bell locations, since County Seat stores were only...

Here's the 1998 Southland directory: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tenpoundhammer/10697228995/

I finally found an address for the Sycamore Tubby's. It was 132 Sycamore.

This source lists Tubby's as 3162 Biddle.

That works. The African place comes up as 14205, but it looks like they expanded over time and swallowed up what would've been 14209. I thought I was having a momentary bout of dyslexia, but it...

Now I'm confused. 14029 is the address I have for the Subway, but looking between Linnhurst and Saratoga, I see Pat's Carburretors at 14025, and an office right next door at 14049, although the sign...

Your post is a little off. According to a 1998 directory that I forgot I had, the former Woolworth became Tilt Arcade. After Tilt closed a few years later, the front half became Buckle, Bath & Body...

Were there any other fast foods in Southland before the food court was added in the 90s?
