Polk was the company that published Detroit's city directory, right? | ||

I'd say that building used to be just on the other side of this Parking lot and across Cass.  | ||

Yup, case closed.  From POLK's current Web site, under "Our Heritage". | ||

I'm surprised Polk is still in Detroit and still in business. But, then again, I think Bremer's guides are still published out of their office on Baltimore... | ||

Their HQ is in Southfield. Looking at their Website, it's amazing how they've evolved through the years. They own Carfax now, too. |
