Chit Chat / Re: Hungarian Sourdough Rye Br...
Last post by Dan Veres - April 19, 2012, 08:35:47 pmIt is very difficult to find the kind of bread we grew up with in Delray. I used to work at Delray Bakery with Attilla Cziraky and John Bresznai. They clain the recipe is the same and it may be but the ingredients are a much cheaper quality. There are some good Jewish Bakeries and the bread is very similar to the half rye bread they used to make.

Historic Delray / Copeland Avenue
Last post by Beech Cricker - March 04, 2012, 04:00:52 pmHello, all--I'm new here.
My grandpa and a few great uncles lived on Copeland Avenue when they first came to Detroit, this being in the mid 1920s-early 1930s period. They lived at a variety of addresses, according to the Polk City Directory: 8934, 9125, 9330, 8880 and 8907. With all these moves I am assuming they were renters, or worse, squatters.
My relatives were Slovak (Sikora) so whenever I hear talk of Delray being largely Hungarian, I'm often taken aback. Also, I seem to recall my ancestors refering to Delray as a tough town at this time and you had to really watch yourself due to gangs of toughs roaming the streets. As this would have been during the prohibition era, perhaps some of this was related to the illicit liquor traffic.
Questions:
Is it Copeland or Copland? I've seen it both ways on maps. The current Detroit street signs indicate "Copland".
Is the current Copeland on the same alignment as the old? The present street originates at Dearborn Street and continues toward the southwest. The 1960s handdrawn map at this site shows it originating at W. Jefferson and extending west.
Finally, does anyone have photos of this street from days of yore? Can anyone tell me what kind of structures carried the above addresses? Were they apartments, sub-divided houses, other?

Last post by HotrodTodd - January 18, 2012, 02:18:51 pmIdeal Bar is still standing, but closed. It's located on Jefferson just west of Dearborn St. If you look in the window you can see the bar and stools are still there just as if the place could open at noon.
I've seen a photo of a place called Rose's (not Rosie's). I think it was located on Gates St. in the Carbon Works neighborhood. There are only two places left to get a drink in Delray that I know of, The Black Stallion Cantina on Jefferson (speaking Spanish is helpfull here) and The Carbon Athletic Club (a private joint, members only).
