and 1966 underwent a com-
plete remodeling and ex-
pansion without missing a
day of business.
In 1969, "Grandpa"
Muer's son, Joe Jr., retired
after 39 years in the busi-
ness. The restaurant con-
tinued to be run by Bill,
Torn and Joe Muer III.
Charles A. "Chuck" Muer
is a third-generation res-
taurateur and president of
C.A. Muer Corp. of Detroit.
The corporation operates 22
restaurants including
Charley's Crab in Troy,
Bloomfield Charley's in
West Bloomfield and Dig-
gers in Farmington Hlls.
Son and grandson of
the restaurant dynasty
family, Muer was 27-
years old when he
founded and became
president of the corpora-
tion. Born in Detroit in
1937, he grew up working
in the family restaurant
as porter, kitchen helper,
bus boy, cashier, oyster-
man,' bookkeeper and
maitre d'.
The C.A. Muer Corp. was
formed in 1964 to handle
the restaurant operations of
the soon-to-be-opened Hotel
Pontchartrain in downtown
Detroit. The corporation
still operates the food and
beverage services at the
Pontch, with its two restau-
rants, and other dining
spots in Michigan, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and
Colorado.
Muer opened his first
Florida restaurant in 1978
— Charley's Crab in
Sarasota.
Thinking it would be fun
and a challenge establish-
ing restaurants in hand-
some old historic buildings,
Muer converted the Michi-
gan Central Railroad Depot
in Ann Arbor into the
Gandy Dancer.
He also opened Engine
House No. 5 in Columbus
and Pole Railroad Depot
in Pittsburgh. Muer says
he likes to cater to all
kinds of customers in dis-
tinctive, individual res-
taurants with an intangi-
ble "class." And he
didn't get big by stamp-
ing out copies of chicken
dinner, hamburgers or
tacos.
Speaking of something
distinctively different, be-
fore or after dinner, the
Fourth Street Playhouse
in Royal Oak is a place to
top , off your evening. The
tiny theater tucked away in
an office building at 301 W.
Fourth St. has been featur-
ing "Uncommon Women
and Others," by Wendy
Wasserstein.
In a collage of interre-
lated scenes, the play starts
with a reunion of five young
women who were close
friends and classmates in
college. They compare notes
since leaving school and in a
series of flashbacks relive
their college days.
The playhouse also offers
midnight productions Fri-
days and Saturdays and will
present seven regular sea-
son performances each year.
,
The playhouse, if funds
are available, will move
into a larger space, pay its
employees and increase the
salaries of its actors. The
focus is on short, unusual
plays by new or unknown
playwrights. If "Uncommon
Women - and Others" is an
indication, you'll see good
theater at the playhouse.
On Main, three doors
north of Fourth Street, you
can drop into Alden's Alley
for food and spirits before or
after the show. The menu of-
fers hefty sandwiches,
Cinci-style chili or light
snacks like cheese and
crackers, chips and dips and
quiche. Alden's has
entertainment seven nights
a week — some Irish and
some folk.
When you're in the mood
for a tasty hamburger in-
stead of an expensive
three-course meal, the Red
Coat Tavern out Wood-
ward way should fill the
bill. The atmosphere is
medieval but the crowd is
generalry young. Be pre-
pared to wait until the ge-
nial, patient hostess calls
your name and don't count
on getting close to the bar in
the meantime.
The clam chowder is
among the best around and
so are the cole slaw and bur-
gers any style.
If you want a similar
menu in a place that's just a
tad less packed, keep going
on Woodward past 14 Mile
to Maverick's. Be sure you
look for the restaurant
which is next to Art Van
Furniture because you're
liable to pass it. The sign on
the front doesn't exactly
jump out at you. But once
inside, you'll enjoy a variety
of tasty burgers, ribs or
other tasty treats.
Larco's on Six Mile in
Detroit seems to be hanging
in there but gone are the
crowds of yesteryear. The
food is still good but less
plentiful. You may get one
or two shrimps apiece on the
antipasto and portions of
Italian favorites have been
downsized.
