| Fisher Theatre History
The Fisher Theatre opened as a movie and vaudeville house on November 11, 1928. It featured Mexican-Indian art, banana trees, a goldfish pond and wandering macaws that audience members fed by hand.
Remodeled as a live theatre in 1961 under management of the Nederlander Theatrical Corporation, the Fisher is now adorned with marble, Indian rosewood and walnut paneling, and crystal and bronze decorative work. The original 3,500 seats were scaled down to 2,089 to ensure an intimate atmosphere and optimal sightlines.
Over the last 40 years, the Fisher Theatre has been a favorite venue of many of Broadway |

| The Gratiot Drive-In was designed by Ted Rogvoy and opened in April of 1948. It featured "Free pony rides, merry-go-round and other playground amusements for the kids, a large restaurant that even warmed baby bottles on schedule for patrons, and a living curtain waterfall illuminated by colored lights to simulate Niagara Falls". Car capacity is given as 1000. The Gratiot Drive-In showed its last movie on Labor Day of 1984. It was demolished shortly afterwards. |

| Sonny`s been making Detroiters smile about the weather for years. Unlike any other in the country, Eliot`s weathercasts are a mixture of fast-paced humor, bits of far-out philosophy, one liners, improbable analogies and similes, and, not to be overlooked, easy-to-understand weather forecasts. The National Association of TV Program Executives (NATPE) has named his witty reports the nation`s best. |
