This place has serving Metro Detroit Since 1938. Cruising down Woodward Avenue has been a ritual almost as long as Ford's been making autos. A quote I remember from someone involved w/ NASCAR (I forget who) once said racing's been around since the 2nd car was made. During the 50's and 60's was the peak of cruising. Cruising Woodward has recently seen an increase (despite the rising cost of fuel) culminating in the "Dream Cruise" held every August. People come from far and wide just to cruise America's First Ribbon of Asphault, running from Pontiac to Detroit. Like a miniature Route 66 it makes its way through the heart of many of the towns along its way. During the "Dream Cruise" Woodward sees over a million people driving up and down its asphault strip in every kind of car you can imagine. Everything from old Tin Lizzies to Souped-Up Muscle Cars to a few buckets of bolts. Everyone around wants to be a part of this one magical weekend. At night along this road many of the storefronts still have their neon glowing, just like they were still in their heyday. It's truly a splendid thing to see. The sign at Janet Davis Cleaners is just one of the many that still shines on Woodward's motorists. A couple things that makes this sign stand out are the font style and the choice of color. I don't know about how the rest of you feel, but I love to see the light from a blue neon sign. If only our camera took shots that do it justice. Come see it for yourself.Check out their website if you have a burning desire to learn more about how much starch they use in a single calendar year.
