If your old Detroit is ever able to renovate seriously, I bet they'll find it cheaper and easier to tear down some gorgeous old structures rather than refurbish them.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904507364541458515.post-64844017501670859032011-07-25T18:49:16.980-04:002011-07-25T18:49:16.980-04:00That looks like a fun place to show up wearing a b...That looks like a fun place to show up wearing a black beret and bodysuit like Audrey Hepburn.

Never went in it, but worked right down the block on Bowery in a halfway house for recovering alcoholics that was closed in lieu of condos. Now, I work down on Delancey. If you haven't been down there lately, check it out. Aside from a few ugly condos that take away from the history of the neighorhood, the place is becoming a ghost down. The Delancey we once new exists no more.<br />Marymxtodis123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583200601379394225noreply@blogger.com
