Could it be the old Club 500 or Sabre and Lancer? Looks like there may have been and entrance on the side also. I think thats where I remember the entrances being. Not the old Maple Lanes though or Mallard Club neither had flat roofs. | ||

LH SIde of the Street, '59 Ford, followed by a '60 Ford. RH side of the Street: Is that a '62 Comet in front of the V dub? Car in the Driveway is a '61 Chevy. | ||

I dunno packman, I think my dad's '74 Corolla had any '60 Ford beaten hands down for promptly rusting to a worthless hulk. By 1979 I recall the front fenders would flap in the breeze because the lower mounts had rusted away, and our feet would get wet in a rainstorm from the holes in the floorboards. | ||

I thought that might be the Carom Club!! Certainly it had to be in that stretch of East Warren, but I was thrown by the sign advertising food as I don't recall them serving food. Or is that sign advertising for another local establishment? As I mentioned before, the Carom Club was run by Nick Markus, a close friend of my dad's. Us kids spent more than a few hours playing pool free of charge (if it wasn't busy) while Dad and Mr. Markus talked. And later when I was in high school, every once in a while, it was a nice place to hang out with a date! | ||

This is an interesting circa 1962 look at the far east side in the days just preceding the onset of Dutch elm disease. The same picture taken in 1972 would have been very different. | ||

Jjaba: "What's up with the houses? Looks like monopoly pieces. What year of construction? Westside never looked like dat." Looks like typical post WW II housing of the late forties/early fifties. Chances are if you pry off that aluminum siding you'll find the original asbestos shingle siding. Had a house just like it on the west side at Lindsay and Pembroke. Ummm...note I said "west side", jjaba.... | ||

I guess Ray1936 is right. Up near W. Eight Mile Rd. there are that same kinda monopoly game housing. We do know that Eastsiders find it easier to repaint in the color white. Your house on Lindsay and Pembroke is a long way from Washburn and Grand River where you picked up your Detroit Times bundle from Jim Beyers. This must have been later, eh. jjaba, Proudly Westside.

Yeah, that was when I made the smartest move of my life and got married. We lived in an apartment for six months and scrounged to save enough for a down payment on that first home on Lindsay. Cost $12,500, and I wondered how in God's name was I ever going to pay for it....... | ||

Westside never looked like that? what about Warrendale! Another shot at the East side by jjaba. |
