Back on November 17th, I announced the first ever International Metropolis contest.
Seeing as there was a grand total of one entry, no voting will be necessary.
John’s entry of the former Sitting Bull (currently Hot Shots), and their odd but very old stuccoization of the Tecumseh Rd. East building is the winner of the grand prize.
Congratulations John, you are new owner of a brand new shiny copy of the “Lost Windsor” 2009 Calendar.
Don’t forget that calendars are selling fast, and I’m going to have to place a second order with the printer. Order today if you want to guarantee yourself a copy for Christmas.
Don’t delay – Order today!

Forest House - Yeah, I thought so. Maybe its the doors - and the Tecumseh address. As I recall, this place sported a kind of Olde Worlde Tudor exterior with a decorative timbered look - darkly stained wooden slats breaking up the monotony of the stucco - completely out of place on a plain rectangular block structure but a hell of a lot more pleasing than whats there now. For a time, they employed a waiter who would dance with a tray of full beer glasses on his head. Does anyone else remember this?
