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. |

Such cool questions. |

Trivia Question: 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Michigan Central Railroad depot. Can anyone name what is in the building today?

I don't know. But, I liked it best when The Spaghetti Works was there. They made garlic bread almost as good as the Navajo. |

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. |
