Last I heard it was being renovated by the owner of the building with no specific occupant in mind. It's 1911 - Albert Kahn if that's the kind of info you were looking for. | ||

Did the National have an "interesting" past? Live shows which pre-dating go-go dancing? | ||

The National had "live" acts in the 70's, these were (partially) nekkid wimmen--I'm not sure what to make of your go-go dancing comment--are you referring to Nancy Sinatra type girl dancing in a cage (or on a pedestal) or are you talking topless dancing?

AIW, don't overlook the 4 story whiskey ad masking the fire damage to the building. Yay Detroit! ... and you knew who you were then ... girls were girls and men were men ... mister we could use a man like Roman Griiiibs again ... (on the plus side you had young ladies in pretty short miniskirts back then tho ...) | ||

Dabirch, I am the owner of the original photograph. No need to eccl. I did not take it, but it is dated "Detroit, 1973." | ||
Itsjeff Member Username: Itsjeff Post Number: 7231 Registered: 10-2003 |
By the way, the original photo is 8 x 10 and shows remarkable detail. I had to shrink it to fit this site, so it lost a lot of its clarity. If anyone would the the scan of the original, please let me know and I'll send it in an e-mail. | ||
