Grande Ballroom.

Also: Grand Funk got its name from the Grand Trunk Railroad.

Oops. Forgot the ‘e’. Thanks.

It is long gone like so many of those fantastic old Detroit buildings and homes. My first time in the city was in ‘73 with Detroit (Cass Tech), and a Grosse Pointe art school classmates. They gave me the full tour. I remember them showing me the big area of the city where the Renaissance Center was going to be built. The old Ford home was still there.

Then in ‘93 I was up there for an IndyCar race on Belle Isle and we drove up Grand Blvd and I had a massive sad. So many of those great old homes and apartment buildings were just left to rot and fall down. Sad.
