You've got the location exactly correct. It was called the Eloise Inn it was on the SW corner of Mich & Merriman. It got torn down in the late 90s around the same time Wayne County sold a big portion of the Eloise land on the NE corner where a strip mall with a Kroger now stands. When I worked at WC Health Dept, I remember colleagues who had previously worked at Eloise in their earlier careers who told stories of patients eloping [[escaping) and being found there. The bar keeps would call the hospital to report patients showing up there and trying to barter to pay their bar bill with their shoes, which were all stamped Eloise on the bottoms.
