Are you seriously challenging my own answer to my own trivia question? Because if you are -[i] Uh.... yeah. The EIC (Executive Investment Corporation consisted of Randy Miller, Joe Alinsky and Alan Wright. They owned the Daisy car wash at 110 School St. MacCleans car wash was owned by (name eludes me) the same guy who owned Rose Bowl. MacCleans enjoyed a great run. The two locations were behind Rose Bowl - Skwiat Legion Av. and behind Eastgate Plaza at Carroll Av. BTW - The Barn, currently DeVries Tire was originally Frick Motors. Did anyone mention the softserve business located next to it? |

Just talked to one of the members of EIC. The car wash near Ames Field was definitely a Daisy, albeit just for a short amount of time.
There's no shame in being wrong. |

If it's actually true, I feel I have learned something. Three, huh? Where was the third? I wish I found this quiz earlier. Such cool questions. |

Did anyone mention the softserve business located next to it? McLeans Car was was a two location franchise. You are correct it was owned by the folks who owned the Rose Bowl and a fellow named George Papenau. I worked there as a part time job in High School. The other location was on East Michigan Blvd. It was wicked work in the winter. Cold Wet and the cars were a mess. |
