I have passed by this place a few times ( it's an empty field now ) and wondered about it's history. I've had a lot of luck on this site in the past so I figured I'd post the question here to see if anyone knew what stores may have been there and when they opened. I also have a picture of the sign at http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2280/2224765956_d2260f4562_o.jpg if you would like to see it. Thanks again. If I did it right it may appear below this typing as well.  DD  | ||

I have no idea about the golf course either. I would've loved to have kept that sign. I wonder what they do with them. Probably in some junk yard or landfill somewhere. | ||

I even have pix of the new homes on Marlborough between Mack and Charlevoix | ||

I'm hoping to find a picture/listing that shows the buildings that used to be in the shopping center itself. I know somebody here will know. | ||

"how about the Penthouse Golf Club. What is the story with that?" If I recall, it was a nightclub. These signs take you WAYYY back to the heyday of Detroit. I wonder why n one tries to preserve them? | ||

The sign is now in an empty field, on the opposite side from those shops. | ||

I want the sign for myself. | ||

Wasn't there a drugstore on the N.W. corner? Maybe a Cunningham's? | ||
