Where is Lassen/Lazzen[[sic) street?

[mjb3]

Saw author Mark Binelli who wrote "Detroit City is the place to be" a new book about Detroit on C-Span w Steve Henderson.

He said it stood out as one of city's most interesting areas.

Anyone know area he is referring to? Thanks, can't wait to read this book.

Pretty sure he was referring to Service Street near Eastern Market.

I was there the evening that he referred to Service Street. He said "Lazzens" [[sic) because he was referring to his neighbor, Chet Lazzen [[sic) as in "Lazzen's [[sic) street".

He said that Service Street, [[which looks like an alley; it's loft store fronts face Gratiot, across from the Gratiot Central Market) was his favorite place to live in Detroit.

There's already a thread on this book, but since this has come up again, here is the book talk about which OP is referring:

Took a stroll on Service st and up toward Gratiot on Google Streetview. I found this place Cheap Charlies that sells used work clothes and new stuff as well. Never heard it mentioned on threads here. I was wondering if anyone knows the place, what its like. That little Service street is really sweet.
