WYANDOTTE: Heltee Pantree's Sputnik (unknown)
Googie architecture was a hit in the 1950s and 1960s; these sputniks dotted the landscape around the country, though very few exist in working order today. A landmark in Wyandotte was this sputnik at Heltee Pantree, corner of Fort Street and Baumey. Taken down due to safety concerns by 1990; the business still exists today.
