JL,

Found it just after I made that post, and spent a while going through pictures and posts...and you're right, MOST of it is from the second location era. Thanks.


Ravine, damn good point...we don't know where them beatnik feet have been!

I don't think most of it was second location era, but it was the Shawn era... Most of my memories of those days were at the Woodward location, but still after your crowd's days there. Place never recovered from the move, I always blamed it on too much light. Weakened all the vampires.

Man, those Elks next door really hated us back then. To paraphrase Martin Blank in Grosse Pointe Blank... You can't go home again... but you can get a damn tasty crawfish bisque there.

I attended Gotham City Cafe during its latter days on 9 Mile. My old improv comedy troupe "Mr. Rogers' Sweatshop" played at least one major show there. The owner mocked me relentlessly. Also, I was 18.

Where was its original Woodward location?

I spent most of my time in cafes at Trixie's in Roseville during its 8-year run.

Here's my documentation of its last open mic night:

Where was its original Woodward location?

From earlier up the thread:

Had to be at the original location [[Howe's Bayou) for the real "character".

Woodward, where Howe's Bayou is now located.
