The Hastings Street Society is a newly-formed organization of Detroiters whose purpose is to preserve and enjoy the history of the city's renowned Paradise Valley. The group meets every Tuesday at Bert's Marketplace in Eastern Market just east of downtown in Detroit. Members mostly socialize, reminisce and raise money for their scholarship fund.
Last Saturday the Society threw its first big event -- a Holiday Cabaret at Bert's new Marketplace Theater and more than 400 folks of all ages turned out to enjoy the music, dancing and meeting with old friends. The photo above shows the last standing establishment on Hastings Street -- the 606 Horse Shoe Lounge which finally gave way to the wrecking ball to build Ford Field.
The Hastings Street Society will meet Tuesday, December 19 at Bert's at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited.
