When I was a kid, I would go to work with my dad in the summers in the 80s. He worked in the Penobscot building at the time. I recall a small restaurant that was famous for its split pea soup/ham sandwiches. It was within walking distance of the Penobscot because we walked there a few times for lunch. Does any remember the name of the place? Is it still there?
We also often had breakfast in the cafeteria of the Penobscot [[or maybe the Buhl) building. I also recall a large mural of Detroit on the wall. Spaced along it was openings to put your tray, a hidden conveyor took the trays to the kitchen. As a kid, I thought that was even better than the mail chutes in the Penobscot. I was in charge of mailing everything, so I would feed the chute every day I was there. Simpler times to be sure!
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
