The nearest "big city" to me now is a 90-minute drive to Fayetteville, and there's a Schlotzky's Deli there! Used to love that place in Flint, and as long as I'm willing to drive a ways, or my daughter and I are making a pilgrimage to Fayetteville anyhow, I can still have my Schlotzky's!Homestead Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257742709441614017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-38869268147435284152009-12-07T08:28:16.074-08:002009-12-07T08:28:16.074-08:00Thanks for sharing. :^)Thanks for sharing. :^)theChurchGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838505079184828260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-38532760105726090792009-12-07T07:52:25.548-08:002009-12-07T07:52:25.548-08:00The Perfect Cleaners on Saginaw in Grand Blanc is ...The Perfect Cleaners on Saginaw in Grand Blanc is the one I'm talking about. Thy clad the building in wood sometime in the early 70s if I recall correctly. There was a little drug store at that site called Falk's Drugs, I think. Perfect bought the property and re-habbed the building.<br /><br />Are there any more Hamady Bros. stores, or are they all gone now?<br /><br />Without that Hamady store, that Grand Blanc mall is likely a very sad little mall now. When I was a kid, we'd always go to the Barber to the left of the Hamady store (I think it is where the Baskin Robbins was) for our 1960's buzz cut (before long hair).<br /><br />-- Grady ForrerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-864606655382512932009-12-06T05:37:07.730-08:002009-12-06T05:37:07.730-08:00I worked there for a couple of weeks right after h...I worked there for a couple of weeks right after high school. Mostly I worked for the son, now owner as a "spotter". Spot the stain, take a guess what it might be and try not to ruin too many cloths. <br /><br />Apparenty ,I replaced some old guy who kept a bottle of his own chemicals behind the chemicals used for spotting. In my opinion, that's the best way to be a spotter.<br /><br />Anyway, I went in one morning and man did I get a cheap-headache-huffer buzz. Dry cleaning solvent leak, I guess. I've always enjoyed quitting a job on the spot. It's reminds me of the Blues Brothers. YOU BETTER THINK! THINK ABOUT WHAT"CHA DOIN' TO ME. Kinda like I'm on a mission from God... <br /><br />Very nice family oriented people to work for though. Best of luck. Hope they wear as much silk as the people in Grand Blanc, (pronounced Grand Blonk).NarlinsNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999555399696857654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-78573938127734354102009-12-05T13:18:10.495-08:002009-12-05T13:18:10.495-08:00Perfect Cleaners and Nifty Cleaners both sponsored...Perfect Cleaners and Nifty Cleaners both sponsored sports teams.

The building isn't brick though so I am not sure if its the same building or not. The perfect cleaners Im thinking of is across the street of where Hamady Bros supermarket was( building now houses a pet store). Its at South Saginaw and High street.AdamGBnoreply@blogger.com
