November 1968 - "Traditions are supposed to last forever. But the other day Clark R. "Red" Shelton quietly closed the door of his famous restaurant for good. In that turn of a k**b - that split second - he ended a 34-year-old tradition which is uniquely associated with both the U-M and Ann Arbor."

When laid out by an ambitious pioneer developer in 1832, this was envisioned as a prominent street in what was to be the heart of Ann Arbor's business district. This is a view of the overgrown Canal St. looking west, toward that portion at Broadway which already has been vacated and is being developed as a restaurant site. This growth will be eliminated when construction begins. Ann Arbor News, June 26, 1964. Photo by Eck Stanger, digitized by the Ann Arbor District Library. https://aadl.org/taxonomy/term/114124
