t’s June. School’s out and it is time for
a vacation! For most of us — short of
opening day for the Tigers — this is the
best time of the year.
So, where are you going and what are
you going to do for your vacation? In
Michigan, for years, we have headed north
to places like Charlevoix, long a summer
haven for the Detroit and Chicago Jewish
communities. Or perhaps we go to another
famous Michigan resort area, Grand
Haven.
While surfing the William Davidson
Digital Archives and thinking of summer,
I wondered where would one go for vaca-
tion, say, 65 years ago? On page 6 of the
June 22, 1951, issue of the Jewish Chronicle,
you will find the answer.
South Haven was a popular destination
for Jewish Detroiters who wished to escape
the city. You could stay at the Michigan
Beach Hotel and have a sandy beach, a
private bath and an air-conditioned dining
room with the “finest Jewish cuisine.”
Or maybe you might stay at Fidelman’s
or Steuben’s. Or, the very unique Baron’s. It
not only had “hot and cold running water
in every room” and “kosher-style” food, it
boasted the only “nite club in South
Haven.” All for $57.50! Hot and cold run-
ning water? What more could you want in
a modern resort?
