[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 18173, member: 153"] Re: ice, ice, baby Hello Jake, Ahh...working at the Fisher... Pretty nice place for a show, but, probably the ugliest theatre I've ever seen. [img]http://www.soundforums.net/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img] Sometime in the early 1960's ...someone got the bright Idea of changing the theatre's looks and function. [img]http://www.soundforums.net/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif[/img] If you get a chance, climb between the downstage wall(?) at the proscenium ...you'll get a look at what's left of the Mayan/Aztec facade that was. Ask one of the House guys...they'll show ya. If old theatre architecture interests you...Detroit's got some really beautiful, old theatres that have been restored or maintained... On Woodward Ave.... The Fox Theatre...big and magnificent, the theatre and the lobby. Near the Fox... The Detroit Opera House, it has the second largest stage in the Country. The Music Hall.. well maintained, smaller, original theatre. Across the street... The oldest, existing theatre in Detroit, the Gem theatre. (second heaviest building ever moved) The Historic Masonic Temple, Two completed theaters out of four proposed for the building. The other two were never completed.(Sammy the Fisher's House Electrician knows the secrets and secret passages of that building) The Orchestra Hall, world famous model for building acoustics. Then, there's a lot of smaller theatres (Hillberry, Art Museum's, a few more in the University area... and a lot that have been closed for many years. I'm glad Detroit didn't get the worst of the blizzard. I live south of Detroit on Grosse Ile. I hear we only got about 4'' of snow there, but, extra ice. Staying in Dearborn... If you like Middle Eastern food, you're golden. In western Dearborn (Michigan Ave.) there's plenty of variety of restaurants....Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, even a couple of German Restaurants. Good luck and have fun.
