Julia Cleaners was formerly the Lido Pizzeria. I don't quite remember when it closed but I grew up in HP and later lived on McNichols and Second for quite a few years beginning in 1975. The last...

Here's a link to an interesting local indie movie in need of support that combines curious and in some cases violent incidents in Detroit's history within the trappings of an occult ghost story...

Listening to CKWW AM 580 in Detroit and Windsor right now [[on line - in my car its static-y) playing music from the 50's through the 70's. "I want you, I need you, I love you" by Elvis was last. ...

I'll bet the actual costs of Woodward light rail [[if ever built, which I doubt it will be as the population continues to decline) would considerably exceed the cost estimates [[they always do!) and...

Just finished watching John's Postcard doc -- very enjoyable and informative. I especially liked the early photo history of Detroit, and John's especially lively reading of the narrative voice over!...

Where is the Markley lakefront property? I might be able to make it. Vis a vis 1KD's comment - that was the old me, I've reformed now [[heh heh)!

I haven't been able to open the "Garwood Mansion" thread for a while for reasons unknown. I just now made a few random edits to my profile and voila I could suddenly open it again??? Anyway, Stfrnt...

Yes Chuck, that was the La Fontaine, on Hamilton, between, I think, Grove and North. I lived on Hamilton just a few blocks South of that block. You should see that area now...shocking! Here's another...

Hearing the old Larry Merryman's voice and songwriting skills [[via Radio Drive) is moderately affecting [[I'm not tearing-up or anything - I'm just saying). Those '70's sounds do bring back haunting...

Great times were had by all, for sure, and all the venues proved to be perfect. And, the music wasn't half-bad! Stonefront proved he was faking it last year when he said he couldn't play any more!...

I just went back and read the entire forum thread. In deference to those much more knowledgeable about this history, I may have confused the Willis Show Bar with Anderson's Gardens - whichever had...

Hey RickBeale this is DK [[Garwoodian). I was in Cobbs Corner every night in the early 70's so I remember most of the places mentioned here to a greater or lesser degree. Yes the Willis show bar had...

Sincere best wishes on your health problems Hiwatt. I'll be glad to provide with a good set of bongos if you want, but they could never equal your work on the guitar.

1KD you're too kind. I do my best! I'll look for you next week! Salute to Ruth's brother for his service.

Best wishes to Kendra. sympathy and solace for Ruth; best of success to Jeep on his album sales. [[I know you're an artist and money isn't primary...but it sure is useful!). To Gash - good lookin'...

That's amazing Rick. I don't think those houses right now can sell for anything like those prices, but I don't really know. Maybe David and Roseland should have held on to it. When the area was...

Stnfrnt must be too - isn't he always?

I've always wanted to live in a tree house [[at least try it for a while anyway). But those are some great small house pics! When I lived at 726 Bethune Street in Detroit [[Merryman and Gleeman knew...

I listened to Ernie D in the early 60's - the best place to hear the Miracles, Ike and the Ikettes, etc. I had the food fortune of meeting him in the 90's when he came to visit his 20 something...

What's GDGT mean?

I just downloaded 25 Dale Bradley tracks. I'm listening to "Send The Angels Down" right now. Nice voice, definitely Bluegrass; does Dale plaly an instrument or just sing?

Just one last thing on...

So, you knew Cholon. That was the so-called Chinese section of Saigon. The bars were considerably cheaper there than they were on Tu-Do street. What else did you do while you were there Stnfrnt???

Thanks Kielson. As a matter of fact, Gash, I once went to a weekend music festival somewhere in middle Michigan where I saw a lot of bluegrass, including Del McCoury [[Mr. High and Lonsome), and I've...

I was at Cafe Habana Thursday night and heard from some of the salsa dancers who were there [[who had tried to go to the Firefly for its own Thursday latin jazz night) that the Firefly appeared to...

Drummer21 check out the cuban rumba youtube link I sent for you and Candyman [[page 74 above) I think you will be impressed.
