Recalling Old Nicknames
Brings In A New List

DANNY RASKIN

B

Local Columnist

Lind Max Spiegelman
was a phenomenon .. .
He owned the Alamo
Lounge nitery on Livernois
years back with partner
"Stewie" Siegel . . . Max not
only worked the bar, serving
mixed drinks and pouring the
right shots, but also rang the
cash register, which in those
days made a lot of constant
music at the Alamo . . .
"Stewie" went on to own
Hello Dolly on second
Boulevard before becoming a
pit boss at the former M.G.M.
Grand Hotel and Casino in
Las Vegas.
Nicknames continue to crop
up . . . Max "Short Mother"
Friedman, Bill "Hitch"
Laikin, Ed "Shadow" Coblin,

"Monkey" Gold, Isadore
"Chinky" Ash, Max "Pun-
chy" Newman, Max "The
Iceman" Lippitt, Louie
"Leape" Levine, Abe "Smart
Money" Levine.
Sam "Pushke" Axelrod was
one tough dude . . . but a
sucker when it came to chari-
ty . . . He gave to everything,
legit or not, and never passed
up a canister . . . They say
that Sam once bought enough
Girl Scout cookies to feed the
entire neighborhood . . . and
you ate them or else.
Joe Frankfort ends these
remembrances . . . Bob "Pan-
co" Kahla, Harold "Hippy"

Century Lodge B'nai B'rith,

BY THE WAY, that pizza of
ours being sold at the Novi
Hilton on Haggerty and
Eight Mile won't be restricted
from 5 p.m.-8:30 p.m. in
Whispers Lounge . . . just the
price of $2 . . . After 8:30 p.m.

tion The Jewish News and a

PEOPLE HOLD on to
their belongings at the an-
nual rummage sale by Tem-
ple Beth El sisterhood . . .
Seems like everything is for

Keys, where Harvey moder-
ated a seminar attended by

Sam "Pushke"
Axelrod was tough,
but a sucker for
charities.

COUNT WAS ALMOST

1,200 for recent fourth annual
International Folk Dance
Festival at Southfield Civic
Pavilion . . . with most of the
crowd staying to the end .. .
The dancers on stage, repre-
senting many nations were
very entertaining and gave
notice that next year's event
could bring an even higher
attendance.
Varied ethnic foods were
popular . . . with lineups for
Gateway Deli (Jewish), Natraj
(Indian), Bangkok (Thailand)
and Savino (Italian) sherbet
. . . All prepared for 1,000 and
ran out . . . an indication of
what to do in 1992.
Southfield Community Re-
lations Director Nimrod
Rosenthal must have been
mighty pleased to see the
Natraj folks go back to their
Greenfield restaurant, pre-
pare more food, and return.

LOCAL ENTERTAIN-
MENT agent Seymour

Schwartz knows all -about

Delicatessen, formerly on
Wyoming, not Fridson's, own-
ed by Nat Fridson (close) and

FINDING the right career
sometimes takes many roads,
but eventually getting on the
right one could reap big
dividends in success and hap-
piness . . . Mary Fisher,
daughter of Max and Marge
Fisher, graduated college
here and worked locally as a
television producer . . . then
as an "advance person" to
President Gerald Ford.
She finally found her niche
as an artist, which is now
Mary's full-time career .. .
Her contemporary styles of
handmade paper and mono-
type print will be exhibited
through May at the Linda
Hayman Gallery on North-
western . . . Mary will be
there today and tomorrow,
2-4 p.m.
LOOK FOR Northland to
also have a food court . . . On
tap are seven fast-food opera-
tions to go along with the
other full service sitdown
operations now there . . .
