The Copa

Anyone out there have any digital photos of the interior of The Copa? If so, feel free to send them my way. The original location would be best, but anything you have will be much appreciated.

  1. I worked at the Copa, it was initially called The Downtowners Club. I do not remember much in regards to people taking photos, particularily in the daytime. Bill Kane was a good man, wonderful employer, we had great fun in those days.

  5. I have a bunch of COPA interior photos, original location around 1980. I used to bartend and DJ (college night on Thursdays) there...also was Bill Kain's "partner" (and I don't mean business) for a couple years before moving to Houston.

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.
