Damn Ric, I didn't know you are from Davison. The Russelleville Ballroom was torn down a few years back. That place had some of the greats from the 40's through the 60's bands play there. I can still hear, see, and smell the place. Oh yeah, the Mikatam! 20 for the price of one!!! Spent many a night in there chasin women. Most were easy to catch too!!!

I'm actually from Clio but after high school moved to Davidson, lived off Richfied rd with a roommate that also worked at Buick, then Windsor place apartments then bought my first house on Flint Street in 1981. I also worked at the Mikatam as a doorman when I was laid off from Buick in the early 80s when you could get 20 for 1 on mixed drinks. Orders were from the owner (Tom Jobran) if they walked through the door they were old enough. As for women...you are correct, and I have fond memories.

It was 1972 when we got into the Mikatam to see Bob Segar before he made it big.
