Designed and built in 1929. The ballroom was a major venue for bands of the 1930s and 1940s. Built in an Art Deco styling with an Aztec theme. At 5600 sq feet, it was meant to hold around a 1000 couples. The maple dance floor was built on springs to give the dancers a bounce as they moved.
After closing around 1958, it reopened in the mid 60s as a concert venue. With shows a couple times a week, bands such as the MC5; The Stooges; and Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes played here. Soon the doors closed again.
Also more recently featured in a the Eminem movie, "8 Mile".
It now sits empty, neglected and dilapidated like many other historic locations in Detroit.

"This bus was donated to the museum by Frank Gonzales, CEO of the All City Bus Company of Los Angeles, California.
In 1980, Greyhound Lines entered into a joint venture with Aromco in Saudi Arabia for a bus operation in Al Khopar, where Aramco had a community especially for foreign workers. Greyhound provided 200 buses in this community. In addition to 40% interest in the joint venture, Greyhound had a management fee arrangement. Note the double roof, which was required for operations in the hot climate. Some models had a door in the rear for female passengers as the women could not mingle with the male passengers according to Arab culture.
After they were not needed any longer, this bus was sold to the Sheriff Department in California to transport female prisoners. It was then bought by the All City Bus Company for transporting cast and crews for movies and commercials. It was then donated to the Greyhound Bus Museum on August 20, 2008."
The Vanity Ballroom in Detroit ( on Jefferson Avenue at Newport ) was originally designed by Charles Agree and opened in 1929. It is an Art Deco building with an Aztec Theme and was used primarily for Big Bands until the 1960's. It had a 5,000 foot maple dance floor that was built on springs to support the many dancers that would be there. Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke ellington frequented here during it's heyday. It originally closed in 1958, reopened as a concert venue in 1964 and later used to host Detroit acts such as the MC5. There used to be stores all along the front, including Cunningham Drugs Store, which was a big chain of stores in Detroit.

Another one of my favorite buildings in Detroit - The Eastown Theater. I love the Architecture and the History of this place. It has seen quite a bit of damage in the 4 years since I first shot it. Sadly it caught on fire in August of 2010. By the time you view this image, the entire right side of this building will have collapsed and/or been demolished. The theater section (the left side ) still remains. But who knows for how long. By some strange coincedence, the 3 remaining William Shakepseare busts that were on each corner at the top of the building were "stolen" and removed exactly 1 week before the fire. An interesting coindecdence.
Originally a movie theater that opened in 1930, it was also a big concert venue from 1969 thru 1972 seating 2,500 people. Concerts there included MC5, Stooges, Buddy Miles, Amboy Dukes, Rush, Howlin' Wolf, Alice Cooper, War, BB King, Albert King, Mountain, Steve Miller, Sly and the Family Stone, Grand Funk - and that was just in the first few months it was open! It has been known as the Eastown Theater it's whole life. The theater operated from 1930 until 1967. Outside of Rock Acts, it did reopen briefly in 1975 for Jazz acts, again in 1976 for Performing arts and plays, 1980 for avant garde and exploitation films, and a last attempt in 1984 for live performing arts again. It has also hosted a few techno raves in it's time. It was originally designed by VJ Waier.

An opportunity appeared whilst at working near Wandong the other day that I could capture the SG SSR Grain train in morning daylight conditions, so I jumped at the chance while I could.
I should have taken the picture from the other side of the crossing, but I tried to be clever and shoot across the crossing, but a car rolled up just in time as the crossing activated on Epping Kilmore road. CLP12 leads, with 4910, S311 and CLF3 trailing. 1st September 2021

Bus Eireann (Limerick) Mercedes-Benz 0530 / Citaro MC 5 (00-D-83656) and MC 4 (00-D-83630) in Limerick Garage 18th March 2002, with mega-rears for Bulmers.
Long abandoned, the Grande Ballroom is an icon in Detroit. Designed by Charles Agree, it opened in 1928 and the hardwood dance floor was located on the second floor. In 1966 it was turned into a concert venue, with The Who, Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Janis Joplin, Cream, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin, and Alice Cooper among others playing here. The two house bands here were also of note: the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges. The MC5 recorded their album Kick Out The Jams here. The psychedelic art posters have become highly collectable from these shows and easily fetch over $2000. The last gig at the Grande was December 31, 1972 and also happened to be the last gig the MC5 ever played. There has been a ministry's logo painted on the front that was considering moving into this building for several years.

The image is a bit grainy, but the significance of the shot merits an appearance as this is the first day of operation for New World First Bus Services back in September 1998 and 25 years on, NWFB is no more, having been absorbed into its larger sister Citybus during 2023. MCW Metrobus MC5, seen at Fortress Hill, was one of 10 of the original batch of 12 to pass from China Motor Bus at the end of their franchise on 31st August 1998. Already 20 years old, it ran in service for a short while before transferring to the Training Fleet as T106, where it spent a good few years before its eventual retirement. However, the BV 2048 registration lives on into 2023, having appeared on a number of MC5's successors in the Training Fleet, most of which have been captured on my camera.
Just behind the Metrobus, working on the 2 to Macau Ferry, is another ex-CMB veteran, rebodied Fleetline LF28, the chassis of which dated from 1974 and with its newer Alexander bodywork, almost another year of service squeezed out of it following this view.

Famous venue where once the MC5, Ted Nugent, the Who and Led Zeppelin once played, in a much more sonically brilliant time...

MC-8 - "This bus was used by the GrayLine subsidiary of Canadian Greyhound on it's Calgary to Winnipeg route. It was donated to the museum by Greyhound Lines Inc. in August of 2005. The bus was in good shape & only had to be painted to the Greyhound colors & design by museum volunteers."
MC-12 - No info available at this time.

The entrance to the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Despite sitting empty for over a decade, the Grande Ballroom is still an icon in Detroit with an absolutely captivating history. Designed by Charles Agree, it opened in 1928 and the hardwood dance floor was located on the second floor. In 1966 it was turned into a concert venue. The Who, Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Janis Joplin, Cream, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin ( on their first US tour ) , and Alice Cooper are among the list of historic bands that played here. The two house bands here were also of note: the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges. The MC5 recorded their album Kick Out The Jams here. The Who performed TOMMY for the first time in the United States at this venue. The psychedelic art posters have become highly collectable from these shows and easily fetch over $2000. The last gig at the Grande was December 31, 1972 and also happened to be the last gig the MC5 ever played. The building still has a strong following in the Detroit area and by music fans everywhere.

New York Dolls, ‘New York Dolls’, 1973. Sex, drugs, rock n roll from Noo Yoik! The debut album that sold zilch but, like the Stooges, MC5 and Velvet Underground, helped influence Punk and saved the world. Guitarist Sylvain Sylvain just died, making singer David Johansen the only member left alive. They looked like Glam Rock transvestites who grew up with proper rock n roll, (like Bo Diddley, whose ‘Pills’ they cover here). Their mission was to make rock sexy and fun again in the face of 20-minute Prog piano solos. They succeeded, not least because they had Johnny Thunders on guitar. (Was there ever a cooler name for a guitar player?) Just the band name and cover got them banned.
Big dumb chords, slashing guitars, riffs, tight but sloppy drums, Cro-Magnon bass, dazed ballads, slouching sax, louche vocals and yelps, hand claps even. Sleazy trash-junky fun. Famously described as ‘mock rock’ they were 4 Real. ‘Jet Boy’ alone secures their place in the Book of Rock. Play LOUD!
