There was also one at Warren and Conners for a while.

thanks for sharing

Looks like the building survived until about 2015 or so. It was then demolished and replaced by a Whole Foods. That area looks totally different now.

There was a Fretter at 5800 S. Westnedge Ave. in Portage, MI. After Fretter, it was a Gateway computer store and currently a Guitar Center.

UPDATE: The Track has closed, been torn down and now a church sits on the lot.

My dad worked for Claborn AMC/Jeep in the 70's, in the collision/service shop. I have one of his work shirts from then. It's a red button up shirt with a really cool embroidered patch on the back that says, Claborn AMC Jeep Taylor MI. and has a blue & white stripe going down one side of the front. I'll try to get a picture of it & post it. He also worked at South Point Dodge in Taylor on Telegraph Rd. (which became Taylor Dodge, & now Telegraph Dodge). He also worked at Kelel Dodge on Grand River Rd. between Evergreen Rd. and Burt Rd. He then worked at Greenfield AMC Jeep on Greenfield Rd. just south of Schoolcraft Rd.

The Fenton location is closed, as are the Farmington and Flat Rock locations. Wayland and Chelsea were converted to Culver's. At Crossroads Mall in Portage, Big Boy was across from TE Murches.

As of 2025, this property is now Ace Hardware, using the former Rite Aid building. Have more to add about other Kalkaska places but will have to wait until this weekend.Deb

Demolished sometime in the early 2020's.

This article mashes up two distinct movie theater buildings. The Fox Village in Maple Village shopping center. I dimly recall this had 4 screens. It had other names as a dollar theater. Building is now Plum Market on Maple Road. United Artists at Briarwood had 7 screens when I got here around 1990? Later run by Madstone as an art theater. Later run as a dollar theater. Later the theater gave back three screens to the mall, reducing to 4 screens. It may have been run as the "Village Theater" -- the photo you have labeled "Village" looks like Briarwood interior to me. I have a faint memory that the folks who had run the (Fox) Village as a dollar theater brought that name to Briarwood? This space is now retail within Briarwood Mall.

Now Dockside Donuts.

I have no new information but my family stayed here at the Rose-Art Lodge in July 1963. We celebrated my Dad's 50th birthday at the park and beach at the east end of the lake. Good memories. I'd like to go back.

Ottawa County Fairgrounds in Holland? There is an oval there on the fairgrounds and it appears to still be open in 2026

The building was demolished in the summer of 2025.

My sister and her husband, Denise and Michael Hargrave owned this in the 80's. I was there all the time, went with them to buy the candy for the concession stand and pick up the big reels of movies at the Greyhound station in Clare. I am unsure if they leased it from Puhar's who were their friends at the time or if they bought it outright. It was a great place to hang out when I was a kid.

My "74 Nova is the car featured in one of David Walls' photos. I have lots of great memories and still have some of my trophies.

I am the oldest grandson of Stanley and Stella Deeds, who owned and operated this facility from about 1960 until about 1964. Today's building at 8530 Vernor Hwy is the same building that housed the bowling alley from the 1960s that is listed at 8508 W Vernor Hwy. I have some original logo items that indicated it was called Deeds Lodge & Lanes, at least at one point. My grandparents operated the bowling alley, as well as a bar adjacent, and rented out three small store fronts on the corner of Vernor Hwy and Wendell St. They lived behind the bar and bowling alley at 2333 Wendell. Grandpa had custom bowling balls for my brother and I, who were about 4 and 6 years old when they lost ownership. They had manual pin setters at the time, and could not get a loan to install automatic pin setters, which is what all the leagues were demanding. When they lost their bowling leagues, they could not be profitable with just the bar, so closed.I do have memories of what a 6 or 7 year old grandson would have of his grandparents bar and bowling alley. They are fond memories, for sure.

Also had a location at Conner and Warren (NW corner).

Lutz's is no more. It is now called Arnie's and the awesome neon sign that was there for years is gone.

With all respect, I believe that the first aerial photo shown on this posting is inaccurate. Fox Haus was located at the corner/intersection of Airport Access Rd. and Munson Ave (US-31). The aerial photo clearly shows the former 'Clock Restaurant ', which was located further north on US-31 [just past the Traverse City State park campground] I am not 100% sure I have the correct name for the establishment shown across the street from the 'Clock Restaurant ' but I THINK it was 'Pinestead Reef'.

Looks like they have recently expanded to Wayland and Alpena according to information on their website. https://www.hot-n-now.com/locations

Cathy, I am putting together a to-be published memoir book on the Poletown that was demolished in 1981. I will have a section with photos about the Castle. Would be nice if you could write a little something about your parents and the Castle. If you are interested please email me at bruceharkness2@gmail.com Thank you.

This buiilding was torn down - unsure of the date. It is now the only vacant parcel on the block and is used by a nearby daycare center for a playground.
|
|
Still standing and for sale at the end of 2025.
|
|
In 2025 this building is vacant and rapidly deteriorating.

The adult movies went out on the late 2000s and this site is currently the home of Lincoln Park Lofts.
