In other Valentine’s Day news, you might want to be on the lookout for some of the latest “viral” dating trends. Like are you breadcrumbing someone? Or maybe you’re being breadcrumbed.

Seven Great Local Music Venues Of The Past In And Around Detroit
Earlier this week, I asked you guys about local bars you could bring back, which one would it be? I got over three hundred responses. There were many local corner bar types, which was fine. Bars like Albert’s on the Alley in Garden City, The Goat Farm in Novi got lots of mentions, along with the “Post” bars and different sports bars throughout the area. Maybe one day I’ll do a story about those types of bars. But I thought I’d write about past great Detroit music venues type bars for this article
There were a few music clubs on the westside, but the scene was mainly on the east. The I Rock, Harpos, The Ritz and others were where many of the bands came to play.
Yes, some people commented on how they were “showing their age” with some of their picks. Bars that hadn’t been around for a very long time, maybe even decades. That’s ok, it’s fun to look back to a time in your life where you ventured out at all times of the day or night to see your friends, or check out some local bands. Maybe even take in a WRIF night at Wild Woody’s or many of the other places we would be at giving out concert tickets and the like.
Thankfully, we still have some great places to see live music in town. Places like The Token Lounge, The Diesel Nightclub, District 142, even The Machine Shop in Flint if you can make the drive. All of these places have bands playing throughout the year.
Alright, lets take a trip back to some of the past great Detroit music venues. Remember, I couldn’t put everyone’s pick on here. Here’s seven that I feel best represent what you guys picked.
-Meltdown-
Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
