    Does anyone remember the Money Tree located on Fort Street in downtown Detroit? What years did it operate? Any interesting stories regarding your visits to the Money Tree over the years?

    I worked there as a waiter in the mid 80s; great money for a teenager. I've waited on Carmen Harlan [[really cute up close), Sam Bernstein et al. It was a great place to work, and the chicken strudel wasn't bad either.
