    The Belgians largely lived in Detroit east of Cadieux. But there were Belgians in East English Village and Morningside also, plus north of I-94.

    the Guilford Bar on Harper [[i think it has a new name now) was a Belgian hangout and had an
    archery room. Most likely some of the Catholic churches in that area had large Belgian communities. Many of the bars on Harper and on East Warren were Belgian hangouts.

    Yes, the general area bordered by approximately Harper/Cadieux/Mack/Radnor is the primary area that comes to my mind. Particularly the southeast corner of that area, around the Cadieux Cafe area.

    When my father lived on St Clair just south of Warren beginning in 1919 when he was six, he said that there were a lot of Belgian kids in his elementary school from 1st to 6th grade.
