209 West Mc Nichols 6 mile and Woodward

Sanborn Map from 1951 shows it as a restaurant, but no further information.

The Toddle House at 916 W. Six Mile was down between Third and Hamilton, about where Menjo's parking lot is today. I remember as a kid going to the Toddle Houses on E. Jefferson - both the one in GP Park just past Alter, and the one in front of the motel near downtown [[which is still standing, but much altered, as a coney island today) - and especially the one on Woodward next to the Hecker Mansion [[then Smiley Bros. piano). My mother loved to grab a quick breakfast there, and those homefries were heavenly.

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 time I specifically remember going in the Lido with my family was 1963. I remember the year because I had recently turned 16 and was asking to use the car while we were eating! Its possible that some other business was there between the Lido and Julia tenancies, but I can no longer remember.
