Those who
remember back
around 1975, for
example, can recall
swell neighborhood
spots like ... Buddy's
Rendezvous on
Conant in Detroit ...
Cloverleaf Bar on
Gratiot in East Detroit ... DeLuca's on
West Warren in Westland ... Franco's on
Tecumseh Road in Windsor ... Mama
Zelda's on Southfield Rd. in Southfield
... Mitch's Tavern on Cass-Elizabeth

Roberto's on Coolidge in Berkley ...
Rocco's on E. 7 Mile Rd. in Detroit ...
Shield's Bar on E. Davison in Detroit ...

cially on Mother's day and there was
always a chance of spotting a familiar
face from the stage across the street or
the radio station 21 floors above it.
SUNDAY, MAY 13, 2001 is
Mother's Day ... Don't forget ... Here
are a few Oldies but Goodies about
those grand gals.
A tramp walked up to a Jewish
mother one day, and said to her,
"Madam, I haven't eaten in three days."
"Force yourself," she said.
A Jewish gangster was dining at a
kosher restaurant on New York's
Lower East Side, when members of
the mob burst in and shot him full of
lead. He managed to stagger out of the
restaurant and stumbled up the street
