MikeM remembers the famous people who he oogled from this same spot. He still has an Elvis pillowcase in his closet, worth $10,000. jjaba. | ||

The sheets used by The Beatles at the Whittier Hotel in Detroit were bought by a radio station, cut into thousands of small squares, and then sold to avid fans. | ||

Owen Park is named after John Owen (1809-1892) the son-in-law of Abraham Cook twice, whose son by Jane Cook Owen, John Owen Jr. (d.1924), led the Cook Farm Company Limited in developing Indian Village with the first home being built on what now is the north end of the Detroit Towers property in 1895.
