When the Downtown
Detroit collapse occurred in the late sixties and seventies, a one block
long stretch of Monroe Street ran counter to those bleak events.
Named Greektown for
the largely owned by Greek immigrant shops and restaurants that lined
the strip, the area became increasingly vibrant.

opening of the Greektown Casino this once sleepy stretch, where elderly
Greeks would click their worry beads over cups of muddy coffee and shots
of ouzo in more carefree days, bears little resemblance to the Greektown
of the late sixties.
