Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.

The Tropicana Bar belonged to my late Uncle and we all miss him as well as this bar which served as a place for friends, family, factory workers and all to meet and have a good time! Thank you for the photos and for the memories FlintExpats!

ReplyDeleteMy Grandad's beloved Tropicana Bar. I remember going in during lunch time and meeting all the good folks, playing Al B. Sure on the jukebox, and getting to play pool for free. Wonderful place. If I come across any pics geewhy, I'll try to pass them along.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this located?
ReplyDeleteI drove by that place thousands of times - but now, after living away from Flint for well over two decades, I'm drawing a complete blank: where is this place located again?
ReplyDeleteIt's on Industrial Ave. between E. Jamieson and E. McClellan.
