DETROIT'S PLACE TO BE FOR CONCERTS- THE CROFOOT BALLROOM- Part 1

We recently went to the Crofoot Ballroom for 2 Concerts, Father John Misty & CocoRosie. We were not allowed to take pictures or get any video per the Management of both acts. Sorry folks ): We did get a short interview with a Manager when we went to go get the tickets at the Beautiful Crofoot Ballroom building.

Main Street Corner. One of the oldest in Oakland County, Michigan!    #gadflyin

Saginaw Street looking at Pike Street.  #gadflyin

The nice staff directed me to the Office which is in the basement. It is a stairwell down into the depths of Pontiac history. The Stone in the foundation which showed in place looks to be from the original foundation. We met a great manager who was nice enough to see if we could take video and pictures for the COCOROSIE & FATHER JOHN MISTY CONCERTS. He walked us out after wards and told us the history of the building. We stood outside the entrance talking of the trail that existed right at Pike and Saginaw. The City of Pontiac grew around the spot we were standing on! My mind wandered to the past as he spoke of a great fire that burned the other side of Pike Street in the Mid-1800's. This fire was confirmed by Charlie at the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society. There was also a Hotel across the street which burned down in the 1960's. Urban renewal of the 1960's had a big impact on the city according to this Manager too.

Next door to Elektricity NightClub. We are trying to get  permission to do a story there! #gadflyin

The entrance during the concerts. Nice Mural!  #gadflyin

The foundation as we descended to the Business Office to get tickets...pretty cool. From the Mid-1800's!

The Crofoot Ballroom. Professional Staff & Good fun!  #gadflyin

Another view of Saginaw. This corner (Pike/Saginaw) was a commence trial in the 1840's!

We will find out more when we have another interview with our Manager Friend. Thanks for reading!

Imagine people's excitement as they walk this way to goto a concert!

Across the street to the west. A beautiful Hotel was there until a fire in the 1960's
