Where can you purchase the paper after regular business hours? The only box I've ever seen is on JC at their old office...

No more boxes anywhere. Last year they took them all down, because somebody kept stealing all the papers. Check any gas station in town.

Keg and Bottle isn't open very late, though. The Mobil station at I-75 and Caniff, or the Get-N-Go convenience at Caniff and Gallagher are both open 24 hrs. and usually have it in.

Livedog2, welcome to the Forum. That Bozek's Market card wins for best color of the night.

jjaba, on computer with lights out. Try it and punch up Bozek's.

there's also that big, new, crazy party store on the corner of Caniff and Conant across the street from Small's. not only can you get the Citizen there but you can buy twelve different kinds of Kit Kat and outfit your entire family in bootleg designer knockoffs.

Dziekuje, Jjaba I consider it a high honor to be welcomed by you a veteran contributor to this DetroitYes site. I have been inspired by the welcome and kind words concerning the colorful nature of my business card contribution -- to whit I am adding additional locations for the purchase of the Hamtramck Citizen with, I hope, as colorful a business cards as the last one! ]:-)

The New Palace Bakery is a good place to buy the Hamtramck Citizen but if they are out you can get a delicious cake called a Seven Sisters and think about the Seven Sisters Smoke Stacks visible from Belle Isle in days gone by.

While we're at it another location to purchase the Hamtramck Citizen is Polish Village just a short one block walk from the New Palace Bakery on Yemen St. the street adjacent to Jos. Campau.

While you're at it sit down, have a bumba of beer, a bit to eat and read your Hamtramck Citizen. They have the best dill pickle soup (I know it sounds crazy but it's great!), city chicken (You know the cousin to the country chicken that has bones to hold up its legs but instead has wooden bones to hold up its city legs of pork and veal!) and razor thin sliced cucumber and onion salad with sour cream and cracked black pepper (God, I'm getting hungry and thirsty just talking about it!) You won't be disappointed, I promise.

And, finally, when all else fails and you can't find a copy of the Hamtramck Citizen anywhere and last week you missed the obit for your Uncle Stash Szymanski. What to do? Have no fear because you can go to the Hamtramck Public Library, that’s the Albert J. Zak Memorial Library located at 2360 Caniff Ave. just west of Jos. Campau on the south side of Caniff and go to either the shelf or stacks. Now you’ve got the issue with the right date and you can make a copy of Uncle Stash’s obit for Aunt Stella Majewski in Chicago. Mission accomplished!

But, the best part of all of this is that the business card for the Hamtramck Public Library is probably the most colorful business card that I own. And, yes, it does glow in the dark; all you have to do is drink 6 GIQs (That’s Giant Imperial Quarts for those born after 1965!) of Stroh’s beer, fire-up a joint, put the vinyl album, Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd on the turntable, left over from your “wild days” of walking the halls of Old Main, shut the lights out and everything will glow in the dark along with this business card.

God this was fun because it’s almost autobiographical!

Thanks Jjaba for the inspiration! ^j^

Hamtramck Public Library

That's it, no more suggestions, for tonight! <):-)

welcome, Livedog! and yay for Polish Village's dill pickle soup (borscht too)! i just moved down the street from there, so i'm trying not to eat there too much...i already gained 10 lbs over the holidays i'm trying to get rid of (too much exotic Kit Kat from the Caniff/Conant corner store, i guess--LOL)! didn't know you could buy the Citizen there, though.
