The Blue Nile, now in Ferndale I believe.

Not a restaurant, but the old, decrepit Wayne Country Morgue was at Brush and Lafayette and added it's own bit of character to the area.

I always thought that the old Wayne County Morgue was Detroit's most perfect example of the concept of "form follows function."

The Old Parthenon was the second storefront from the corner of St. Antione next to Hella's before they moved down the street to the bigger digs they occupy today. Cyprus Taverna moved into the Parthenon's old space about 20 years ago and was my favorite Greek restaurant in the area until they closed up last year. Now, it's a liquor shop.
