DaveD - 2004-04-20 08:48:24 Was it good? I never visited, thinking perhaps wrongly that it'd be an EMU crowd; sounds like I was mistaken. Wonder why this particular bar had more tussles & trouble than other bars...* * * * * * * * * * * * DaveD - 2004-04-20 11:50:52 I'm not sure either. When I went to Eastern in the early 90's, it was a fairly typical college-type bar. The area along Laforge rd. north of there is fairly rough, and some of the riff-raff might have spilled over to the Nickel. It was getting bad there before it closed, almost like Arthur's on Michigan Ave. DaveD * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-04-20 11:53:16 there is something about that area that has a kind of bleak atmosphere.* * * * * * * * * * * * laura - 2004-04-20 11:55:24 maybe they're counting on the eventual new student housing there to pep up business.* * * * * * * * * * * * Tuesday - 2004-04-20 11:58:32 You know, I was thinking about that student housing on my way to school the other day. That property is about 3 inches away from the train tracks. Who's going to live there? * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-04-20 12:05:44 400-some EMU students, though there's only 300-some parking spaces planned...that'll make that LeForge corner a nightmare, plus I fear hotshot kids not respecting the rather long traffic light there, on LeForge just north of Huron, & seeing if they can beat the train, &c...as you say, those tracks are mighty close, plus right by a street crossing, which reminds me of the train accident that plowed off the whole corner of the Sidetrack years ago.* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
