    Default Mr. Fofo -- Latest Notable Detroiter to be a CoVid19 Victim

    For years I drove past Mr. Fofo's while returning from my Cass Corridor haunts to my Highland Park house watching it expand from a small shop to take over the whole corner. Located on 2nd and Hazelwood it was a bright spot and hub of activity on the otherwise quiet residential route.

    He laid claim to "The World's Largest Corn Beef Sandwich" and sported the sign "Thank you Detroit -- Together we are doing it -- The one and only Otis Knapp Lee Propietor" Farewell Mr. Fofo.

    Didn’t he have a spot at Greektown Casino for a short while? I haven’t heard that mentioned anywhere. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

    RIP. The death of Mr. FoFo has garnered a great deal of attention in Detroit.

    That may help people start to take more C-19 seriously.
