So I've always characterized, by what I've gathered, that Washington Blvd. was the elegant street of Detroit. I know of the hotels, BC and Statler were the grand hotels but what about the retail. I know of Himelhoch's, Peck and Peck, and JM Citron but what other businesses lined Washington Blvd.? I heard that the Book Tower was full of airline companies, which would attract a more exclusive clientele.

If there has been a thread about this please post it, though I don't believe so.
